In the withered forest, red like glass, Colin was comforting the little elf Nasi.
"Little Nasi, try again, it might just be a fluke."
Nasi sat dejectedly atop his head, listlessly pulling at his hair, her red eyes brimming with crystalline tears.
Hearing Colin's words, she let go of the strand of blond hair she was holding and pouted in response,

The door over there is broken, Little Nasi can't open it..."

Tiny tears fell from Nasi's chin, landing on Colin's head.
"Wahh... Little Nasi can't open the door anymore, it's no use..."
