It was some years ago that a boy was born to a couple like any other in the village. That day, the village threw a celebration for the new life, and everyone raised their voices to the divines above. But while everyone let out their loudest voice, the boy alone was silent. An odd one, seemingly a little detached from everything going on around him, even his parents found him eerie. But as a living being, the world around him won''''t let him stay detached from everything else, and overtime, the boy would learn to connect with everything around him, starting from the closest around him, that still treats him with warmth even as they found him odd.
