IN THE FOREST OF THE LOST

it's all too perfect.

[ Yi Sang does not like the sound of that crying at all.

And per the discord flavor text, he's checking on poor Mafuyu's Heart (???) to see it flicker. He'll hold it close. ]

It radiates pain.

... But, in the glow of the heart, he's at least spared notice from whatever is afflicting the others.

[ Yi Sang won't cross until it's okay to, aka when the wires are cut or something.

And to explain to the others! ]

I was told... This is Mafuyu's Heart. It was guarded by wires like those.

[ Ah... yeah, looking at that.. ]

[ This isn't how it played out for him, not really. First of all the apple put him through hell, and more hell after. But it set everything in motion - in the end, he was able to climb up because he's desired. Because he'd held onto that apple and wanted it more than anything. Wanting something is important. ]
