Despite the difficulties, Kishin found a sense of solace in the quiet of the wilderness. He enjoyed the peacefulness of the mountains, the sound of the wind rustling through the trees, and the soft crunch of snow beneath his boots. He relished the time alone with his thoughts and the company of his faithful companion, Charlie, who trotted alongside him every step of the way.
As they made their way through the mountains, Kishin occasionally caught glimpses of the town below. He could see the smoke rising from the hot springs and hear the faint sound of music and laughter drifting up to him on the wind. It was a welcome distraction from the solitude of the mountains, and he felt a sense of excitement building within him as he drew closer.
