If that happened, Karlz wouldn’t let her mistake go either.755e0ba67feefd6a
Karlz was already a rotten rope that she needed to let go of. [T.L. Note: This is referring to the Korean folktale “The Brother and the Sister Who Became the Sun and the Moon”, where the children flee from a tiger on a rope provided by the gods. When the tiger also asks for a rope, the rope that drops down for him is rotten and breaks, leading to his death.]
