CHAPTER THIRTEEN
MAY YOU FIND KINDNESS
The tranquil dreamlike state of the oasis greeted you once again with vibrant trees and the chirping of birds.
From atop the hill, you saw the same young white haired woman from a few months ago crouched down, moving the shallow water with her finger tips. Colourful fishes gently swam around, sometimes nibbling at her skin, eliciting a soft laugh from her green painted lips.

You blinked, soon mimicking her movements.
"I can't hide anything from you, can I?" you said, bringing your knees to your chest, head resting on them.
