One with the World

Shane wanted his world to become a paradise for his tamed beasts, and it would be hidden inside him, which led him to name his world 'Hidden Paradise'.

Seeing this name, his aunt could only smile at Shane's choice, thinking that he was a free spirit, a stark contrast to his father who was an old fogey.

However, this attitude was what Kia liked in Shane and it frustrated her to see how John treated his only son, imprisoning him and withholding all the ways to learn what freedom or friends really were.

Only when she told him all kinds of stories, the young Shane could visualize how it might be to act however he wanted and be free from all kinds of responsibilities that suffocated him.

Shane's attitude hadn't changed much but Kia noticed that he was much happier than before because he smiled more.

She had only met him several hours ago, and Shane had already smiled more than over the last 16 years since she knew him.
