The Eight Wilds of Haoli

(Lost): One person spends their youth chasing a dream, holding a pen to write through night and day. When ink is not enough, they make do with blood and tears.

(Adrift): One person spends their time searching for true love, devoting their heart to the one they love. Though all has changed, that longing remains.

(Dream): One person uses work to escape their family, leaving a letter to remember their care. They let go and return home, then lean alone against an empty wall, full of sorrow.

(Illusion): One person adapts to society with slickness, telling a lie to conceal their unyielding nature. They forget the truth. Who remembers what they were like at the start?

(Shadow): One person vents their pain through violence, wielding a knife to tear apart their own reason. They stop at the cliff's edge, but their scars follow like shadows.

(Hidden): One person makes amends through action, waiting in a secluded place for a chance to atone. They give up on themselves, hoping only to live without regrets.

(Empty): One person forgets the world through indifference, sipping tea to wash away endless trivialities. They set aside their ambitions and willingly live an ordinary life.

(Mysterious): One person accepts life in silence, using their own hands to bury the dreams of youth. They take things as they come, their sharp edges worn away by the wind.

That is probably the story of those eight people, perhaps... probably.
