Xu Tai's past was dark, like moss.
It clung to the banks of a cold river, hiding in the cracks between the blue-gray flagstones.
Thorns of self-doubt grew between her bones, her flesh held an empty soul, and gloomy, heavy moss crawled across her back.
Someone once said she had no heart.
When the light pushed her forward, the moss on her back fell away, leaving her self-doubt and empty soul exposed.
She withered in the sunlight.
The wind scattered strawberry seeds, and a patch of strawberries sprouted in her chest. The thorns melted into the scent of fruit, her empty soul grew full and abundant, and she sank into the passionate pulse of the strawberries, surging and blooming.
Then she grew moss again, resilient moss.
Rootless, born on the wind, able to weave an oasis even in the desert.
Scalding moss flowed through her veins, gathered in her heart, and poured out hope. She was moss, moss whose vitality had taken on solid form.
Meanwhile, the strawberry patch quietly spread across the whole world, sinking together with the moss beneath the gaze of all creation.
