The Spider's Thread (after battle)

Dad, why do sea waves keep crying?

Because they're sad that they're knocking over the sand castles.

Then they should just not knock them over.

Waves move with the winds. When the wind blows, the high and low tides can't help but knock down everything in their path.

Then why not just... push back when the wind blows?

Think about it this way, darling.

The waves... built those sand castles only because the wind pulled them in.

And now, the wind is pushing them to bring the castles down.

So the waves really have no reason to feel sad.

Then, Dad...

... when will they be happy?

…….

Well... Let's take our time finding that out, shall we?

We can save the ending... for later.

We'll read all these endings together once you grow up and become as old as Daddy.

... Okay.

Then you gotta read to me every day.

Pinky promise!

... I hear the waves.

... How do they sound?

... ly.

They sound lonely.
