What Joy Is There in Life?

No matter which path you choose, in the end, all paths return to the sea, where the bonds and feelings that once disappeared remain.

Having once been betrayed, the young man simply stops holding on. Yet he never expected that, after he turned away, someone would still be willing to walk beside him.

This is "fate":

A fate where different paths lead to the same destination, vast and turbulent.

This is the "road":

A road that seems smooth, yet is covered in thorns.
