A place of wonder, with a huge mountain in the distance, covered with a blanket of snow, is trying to increase its level to reach the sky. Against the red, it is teaching us to love our brothers.

Without even thinking for a second, Rohan asks God to send all the people back to the world. Looking at the innocent heart of the child, God grants him his wish and sends all the people back to the world just for him.
