Hunter's POV.
Procrastination has never been beneficial, and it's currently not serving Hunter well as he continually changes his mind about when to donate his sister's old belongings to charity.
He made a promise to his sister that he would never forget her and that he would strive to lead a better and happier life. He realized that to achieve that, he needed to start by parting with some of her belongings. However, he hasn't managed to do so yet.
Today, however, things are going to change, as he is currently in the storage-like room sorting through items that are still in good condition and suitable for someone else to use. His sister had a fondness for collecting various items, so it was no surprise for him to sift through boxes and boxes of peculiar-looking objects owned by her.
Pausing in front of a uniquely colored box, which appears smaller than the others but bears her initials just like the rest of the boxes, Hunter picks up a particular drawing with the word "adventure" inscribed on it.
He had witnessed his younger sister showing immense enthusiasm for various things, but never for art. Did she possibly develop an interest in art at some point, without him being aware of it?
The question was promptly answered when he noticed the initials "K.R.W" inscribed on the opposite side of the drawing.
It all became clear! This box didn't belong to his sister; it belonged to his aunt. This drawing must have been created by her. In his childhood, he used to watch her passionately draw, paint, and sketch nearly anything, always leaving her initials on all of her works.
Smiling warmly, he delicately set the drawing aside and proceeded to examine other items in the box.
The box contained an array of items, from weathered old maps to eerie figurines, canvases, paintbrushes, incomplete sketches, and what seemed to be her journal.
The journal bore the inscription "Kayla Rainbow Witkins" on the cover, in contrast to her usual use of initials. The sight of the last name brought a smile to Hunter's face, evoking memories of his grandfather.
His grandfather, a devoted believer in the gospel, had instilled in him the importance of faith. Reflecting on his family's Christian heritage, Hunter recalled his grandfather's unwavering faith and the ardent emphasis he placed on maintaining their family's tradition of belief.
Dusting off the old journal, Hunter opened it to the first page, which featured images of his mother and aunt as children, arms wrapped around each other, sporting carefree grins; his aunt even had a few missing teeth.
Chuckling softly, he turned to the subsequent page, all the while perusing his aunt's documentation of her adventures.
