Kirin did not expect exploring the woods to be so fun.

He climbed over a particularly large fallen tree, finding the thin coat of dust-like moss to be an interesting texture as he made it to the other side. Birds chirruped in the trees, simultaneously seeming right next to his ear and miles away. Chittering squirrels and chipmunks scrambled through tall the tops of tower-like trees, and the sound of a babbling creek rushing over smooth stones may well have been music. He felt alone but surrounded, surrounded by a world of life and nature, surrounded by something he could become used to.

None of his many worries could capture him here.

Well, apart from one, but he was mainly worried for his sister, rather than her being the cause of his worries.
