Ena : This short and sweet Japanese name means "gift from God".

Katie never bothered heading to her father's store to work like James did. She didn't hurry home either knowing her mother would be knitting somewhere inside. She strolled around the village for some time. Sneaking off towards the wall as she felt as if that was the one thing that hasn't changed in her life and never would. The one thing she could count to never betray her, to hurt her or leave from her life. 

She didn't try hiding about and making a jump over the wall like she tried as a child. Instead she casually walked towards it, a sad and broken look on her face as she headed towards it. No will power to even try and escape from her life anymore and take her chances on exploring the other side of the wall. 

Coran stood up on his stool, watching her every move as he knew she was just as bad as her father use to be. But the tension in his shoulders left as soon as he saw the look in her eyes. He wouldn't be needed to stop her, not when she had already given up on hope. 

"D-Did you ever see them?" Katie quietly asks as she leans against the wall, her arms folded and resting on top while she stares to the land past the wall. 

"Not a single glance. I do listen out for their voices. I wait for them to come racing past as your distraction and hoping you'd be able to hop past instead of them. You never did. No matter how hard you three tied, you failed to cross thanks to me. I always kept an ear out for your voices and I still do. If they found another way to cross the wall, they haven't ever returned since" Coran fondly replies with as he stays sitting on his stool and remembering how much of a trouble trio the siblings use to be. He had their voices memorized for good, he still does and he waits to hear one of the brother's call out again. 

"Did you hear the gossip in town?" Katie awkwardly asked as she knew Coran wouldn't pity her over it nor would he tell her how her parents were just looking out for her either. 

"I hear most gossip before they're ever told in that town" Coran admits with a smug nod. 

"Do you agree with my parents?" Katie asks in a small voice, lowering her head. She knew he'd finally accept her fate if Coran said it was for the good. 

"It's not for me to say" Coran answers with instead, not helping much. 

"Do you think I would have been happy if I ever did pass the wall?" Katie mindlessly mutters as she stares at the filed behind the wall and wondering what her life would have been like. 

"I remember the winter you had stubbornly stayed out, even if the thick snow, just for me to lower my defences and pass this wall. You caught a very bad cold that year. We barely have snow and the one winter we finally did, you decided to do hide in it instead of play with it. I've watched you fail many times in trying to pass this wall. I'm sure you could have survived anything that sat on the other side of it" Coran fondly told her over her embarrassing but stubborn past one winter. Telling her his honest thought over her living on the other side of the wall if she did ever get past him. 

"I don't want to go home" Katie admits with a deep frown, knowing what was waiting for her if she did return. 

"You should. Your parents lost two children already. They can't risk losing you next. I'm sure they'll become more stricter if you're late home. I only wish that you were at home with the whole family, teasing Takashi over his second day of being a year older and no longer being spoiled since he wasn't the birthday boy anymore. To have a home full of such joyful laughter" Coran kindly replied, a sad look in his eyes as he knew her home wasn't like it was before but he knew her parents might turn to worry more if she didn't return soon.
