Xiaoying Shan found a monster in the hills behind his home.
A soft, tiny little lump, pitch-black all over.
He thought it was a coal-ball spirit.
After bringing it home, all it did was eat and play. It couldn't even talk, and not a single one of the wishes he made came true.
But it stayed by his side through one lonely summer after another.
When Beichuan was picked on, the little coal ball carried provisions and transmigrated through the steel jungle, scaring the daylights out of all those "bad guys."
More and more friends gathered around him, but the little coal ball remained the most special one of all.
Until danger struck, and he saw the other's battered body and blood that just wouldn't stop flowing.
Only then did Kageyama understand...
It had never been a monster. It was a beautiful dream.
Otherwise, what kind of monster would die so easily?
But what he didn't know was this:
Love was what gave "it" flesh and blood.
