Following the cat and getting ambushed by a weird frog resulted in Zoren making a friend good friend he never thought he would ever have in this world... or in this lifetime. T

She was kind, warm, and honest.

She was a good person with a big heart to spare. Yet, she was also fierce and wise, always ready to protect her heart from any potential threat.

It was why Zoren didn't want to die, or at least, he wanted to live longer. It was why, even if the thought of death crossed his mind, he wouldn't want to say it aloud or manifest it again. Because if he did, it would hurt her, and it would break the promise he made to her. [Present Time]

Wasn't that odd?
