Yurim was just an ordinary girl ,trapped in a life of endless struggles .Her father was a drunkard, his anger spilling out in harsh words and slammed doors. Her mother ,frail and sickly, could do nothing but cough through the nights . School offered no escape either – there she was just a target , bullied and ignored as if she didn't exist.
To keep the house running,she worked part-time at a supermarket . Every night she returned home with aching legs and tired eyes, only to face the same cold , suffocating walls.
One night after running late her shift, yurim take a shortcut.The narrow path led to a lonely spot,where an ancient tree stood with a small shrine at it's base. Something about it made her shiver.The air felt heavy and scary.
Her steps faltered. Then– she tripped.
Falling hard on the ground she found herself staring straight at the shrine.A leaf fluttered down, tangling into her hair , though she didn't notice .Her chest tightened with unease.
Panicked,she pressed her hands together and whispered hurried prayers to every god she could remember.Then she scrambled to her feet, running the rest of the way back home with her heart pounding in her chest.
By the time she collapsed onto her bed ,the leaf was still in her hair.she was too tired to think,too tired to notice.
As she sleeps,she finds herself suddenly transported back to the tree – but now it seems alive .To her terror, it speaks, telling her it can heal her broken life and take her to any world she desires. Hesitant but curious,she asks how. The explains her that it can take her to a world shaped by the "state of her heart".(Reflecting her inner struggles and memories ). Curious, though still fearful, she agrees.
Not knowing what it actually means.....
In an instant, she finds herself in a classroom
Unlike any she's ever seen. At first, everything seemed normal - students in uniform chattering casually around her. But something felt off.
She decided to look around the school,hoping
the uneasy feeling would fade.Yet as she wandered past the quiet hallways ,her steps slowed . In front of a locker room, her breath caught .
A boy opened his mouth impossibly wide and devoured a girl, as if it was ordinary.
Her blood ran cold,she couldn't believe what she saw...
