?
Wait!
The human village is just beyond those trees...
The berry bushes are way too close!
I think we should pick the ones by the river instead.
But, that's so far away...
Nil!
C'mon it will be fine!

Nil?
falling petals a5.indd 10
Did you bring the berries?
Where is your wings?
27-01-2021 12:13:40
Hmpf... Why would you come back here? You're already broken. You do not belong here anymore.
B-broken..? No, please, I need help!
What is a fairy without its wings?
Help? Why would we want to help you?
Nothing.

Nil is no longer a fairy.
That's right!
Isn't that right, everyone?
You're broken!
We only want to play with fairies.
Coco..?
I... told you we should have gone to the river.
This village is only for fairies!
Leave! Leave!

27-01-2021 12:15:30
If every day just brings more suffering?
What is the point of living...
Why do you continue to live...
When there is no future for you?
You should have stayed on a ground and rotted away like your wings!

After all, you are of no worth to anyone. Not even yourself.
You're only in this situation because of your own doing.

This place is full of predators.

I see...
Have you come to the dark woods for shelter?
Dark woods..? The rose bushes are so dense it is always dark here. only animals can thrive in this place.

The animals like you.
I think they sense you know of their struggles.
You're from the village, right?
I used to live there too...
But those fairies only care about themselves.
They thought my concerns for animals were wrong. So I left.
