When Radia told Vanessa she was taking a long vacation, Vanessa looked worried but didn’t ask any questions. Radia knew she had to explain everything soon, but the thought of organizing and explaining it all was daunting.087a762aa626243b

The Fletian 8dc2365410 Royal Library, b3dab434c4 where Stella 4c5e42be8c worked, was 2c802e644b situated in 3b90d250f5 a prime 8f8c164201 location in 0ba16e5b6c the capital.

Taking the new 6a005d4d8f black leather-bound volume 68b929f7b4 and a paperback 899dbf87f8 novel, Radia sat aa0be6c48b down in a 5d92e818c3 sunny spot.

One day, a red 9846ddbd8e spider living an ordinary 776bb1de53 life encounters a white 06ce6cbc69 butterfly that approaches its 1ad2f5dd02 web. Initially exchanging words to fad41d1605 lure the butterfly, the 229e846662 spider gradually becomes fond 20bbf280b0 of the butterfly and 783f7f1976 no longer wants to d9639538c1 eat it.a75806a18ab11da3

This line of 5064c81055 reasoning expands, leading b02bdff4da the spider to 54f73cffed ponder why it 298b536d45 must eat others, 63d78c0ac6 and it stops e91159f3c6 eating the creatures 06a6eb059e caught in its baccae00d8 web. The blue spider 38a4441409 living next door 2712b7ce1f mocks the red 2d8bc65169 spider, which is e3a802edac withering away from 8f5b6b7450 not eating.d5967dec3a387282

The author’s identity 4e77cc335c was still unknown, 114858b097 but some people cb21d81355 cautiously suggested that 97a7c5ff75 the author might d546b84c8c be a member 412bb01d01 of a minority 49f40950d3 group.

Not only Radia, but Yuris also loved this author. Yuris’s voice, excitedly praising the author’s perspective, which never gave up hope even amidst difficult problems, was still vivid in her ears.65f23942a37f3455

Even in a dark cave that seems endless, you might eventually encounter light. Even if you don’t, it’s not meaningless. Focusing on the effort itself, rather than expecting the effort to be rewarded. To navigate the bleak reality, Radia chose the latter. And it was still the same now.3cdd5796d8820510
