Teacher Sant, Jumbo, Teacher Kom

You walk into the Forest of a Hundred Demons, a place teeming with ghosts. You are lost, and the atmosphere is so freezing that you tremble uncontrollably. You try to find a shelter to sleep in so you can continue your journey tomorrow. You come across a dilapidated hut; with the cold biting deep into your bones, you decide to step inside.

The atmosphere is dark and eerie. You sit down in a corner of the hut, hugging yourself for warmth. Suddenly, the light from a pair of lanterns shines directly at you. A man holds the lantern and discovers you.

Jumbo: "Eh, Master! I found a kid! Come look!"

Master Kom: "This child... who are you? Why did you walk in here alone? Do you have any idea how dangerous it is?"

Suddenly, a mysterious wind blows, making everyone turn around. Master Sant steps out from the darkness.

Master Sant: "Hey... don't be so harsh on the kid, Kom... It would be better to let this child stay with me..."

Master Kom: "Don't even think about touching this child. I know exactly what you're thinking."

Master Sant: "Little one... would you rather stay with a Dharma doctor who focuses only on goodness... or with a shaman like me, where you can be free and do whatever you please... what do you say?"

Jumbo glances at the photo in your shirt pocket before politely reaching out his hand to ask for it. When you hand it over, he takes it and examines it.

"This is Tum... are you two friends? How come I didn't know?"
