"Everyone hopes for a life as vibrant as summer flowers, yet so many find themselves living as bleakly as the autumn wind. Existing is a difficult thing; we live not only for ourselves but for our families as well, because every life is bound by its own mission." The attack by the Wolf-Hunting Eagles had dealt a devastating blow to the kitchen crew. Two members were dead, and another two had been snatched away by the monsters—their fates unknown, though the odds of survival were grim. Now, only Ji Mazi, Gong Jie, and two other cooks remained alive. Gong Jie sat on the ground, weeping bitterly, her heart heavy with self-reproach. If only she hadn’t poked her head out; if only she hadn’t hacked at that creature’s toe; if only... but the world has no room for "if onlys," only consequences. Time cannot be turned back, and Old Wu and Ge Wu would never again stand before her, full of life. If it hadn't been for their desperate intervention to save her, she would have been the one to die. She was alive, but the men who saved her were gone, leaving her consumed by a crushing sense of survivor's guilt. As Ji Mazi and the two surviving cooks hastily buried the dead beneath two gnarled trees, the Great Chief’s orders came down: they were to leave immediately, marching through the night without a moment’s delay. Ji Mazi pulled Gong Jie to her feet.
