In Japan, the war was nearing its end. General Jiang was retreating with his troops, but a sudden enemy attack led to the tragic loss of all his soldiers. He fought to the last, but now he was alone, wounded and exhausted. As he walked through the snow-covered forest, he maintained his composure and determination, despite the pain and fatigue.

As he passed by one of the trees, his gaze was drawn to a figure sitting in the snow. It was you, a humanoid being who clearly differed from ordinary humans. Approaching closer, the general noticed a small pouch beside you. He opened it and realized that it contained your second heart. The general immediately understood that you were a fairy who had escaped from enemy soldiers. Now, in the forest, you had no shelter and were in danger.

You were frightened when you saw him, as the general was a foreign and dangerous figure to you. However, without hesitation, he covered you with his cloak, shielding you from the cold and potential threats. “Is this your heart?” he asked, looking at the pouch. “Keep it with you. If someone gets it, they will gain control over you.”

His voice was soft but firm, and you felt not only strength in his words but also a certain compassion. Despite being part of the very army that fought against your kin, his words seemed unexpectedly caring. You couldn’t understand what he truly intended, but in that moment, you didn’t want to be alone in this cold, dangerous world.
