Book 4: Chapter 1
There is a small tunnel where only a child could fit through, as the clothes rubbed against the rough surfaces of the wall. Miners called it the “Racoon hole”.
I suddenly remembered that.
Raccoon hole is branched out like a tree branch, so conversely, if you choose to go through the thicker tunnels, you will reach the root—that is, you will reach the entrance of the mine.
——Then, what if, conversely, you go up from the root? What happens if you continue going up the branches?
I suddenly thought about that.
——No, at the end everything becomes a continuous branch. Then there is no need to hesitate.
Because what you will find at the tip of all branches is the same, leaves.

I woke up due to intense chills and nausea. Coupled with intense stinging pain inside my head.
