"The Ark of Hope that crossed despair"
This ship, laden with hope, set sail.
There were so many who would never see it again.
There were so many who would never board this ship again.
Yet in the end, they must have smiled as they offered their blessing-
Live on.
Do not lose to despair, do not lose to the apocalypse, do not lose to yourself.
Even though this road was paved with sacrifice, with pain, with despair, courage and resolve were still passed down.
Carry that sacrifice, that pain, that despair, and keep going!
Hope was sailing far away.
"A boy's rebirth"
That child's wings had been broken when he was very young.
Human malice, human ugliness, human stupidity.
He would never trust humanity again. He had given up on being human.
Was there really anything worth holding on to in this filthy world?
Until someone reached out a hand to him.
Big Brother Yiyi.
But he had never expected that, though there was only one Yiyi in this world, there were countless others who would reach out to him.
Human kindness, human beauty, human resilience.
On that day, the boy was born anew.
"Ordinary heroes"
We were all ordinary people, all flesh and blood, all living on this earth.
We were unremarkable, ordinary, neither especially clever nor especially strong.
We cried, we ran away, we were afraid, we made mistakes.
But if the need arose, we would charge ahead and never retreat!
Were we heroes? Perhaps we were.
We were ordinary people among heroes.
