Home Woo and Genuine Jin—Kim Woo-Jin. I spoke my true name to the giant. It had been so long since I’d last said it aloud that it felt almost foreign to my ears.3

The giant smiled, looking down at me in silence. His stillness wasn’t threatening; instead, it carried a warmth.0

"Human, this place is neither a prison nor a cradle. It is a grave," the giant spoke, addressing the unvoiced question lingering in my thoughts. "A grave prepared for me."0

I remembered reading about the giant's design ages ago, probably while going over the game’s storyline.0

A species that had traversed continents and seas, reaching the farthest corners of the world. A sage beyond human understanding, one who knew all and saw everything. To him, humans were nothing more than ants.2

And yet, he had not crushed me, thanks to his wisdom and kindness.0

"Human... Your presence reveals that there are realms beyond this world still shrouded in mystery to me."1

“... Is that so?”0

"Yes," the giant said, his voice echoing through the depths of my soul. "Your entrapment here is the result of my failure to properly conceal this grave."0

I held my silence.0

"The way out lies here, and I can open it at any time. Yet, even then, I know you would not leave alone."0

There was no need for me to answer his inquiries. The giant had already read my thoughts and given me the answers I sought. Still, one odd word in his explanation caught my attention.0

“By failure, are you saying it was intentional rather than a mistake?”0

The giant smiled once more and said, "Indeed, I have long foreseen that such a meeting would come to pass. When one has lived for thousands, even tens of thousands of years, encounters like this become inevitable."0

“... How fascinating.”0

The giant’s wisdom went far beyond...0
