One's perception

The dream of leaving the purgatory was beautiful, but Morana knew that it wasn't an easy feat. For the first time, she struggled with making decisions.

Shio was still too young to understand everything and if they did all the work then his trauma wouldn't disappear, moreover, he was currently living with werewolves and had no familiarity with them.

So, a short-term plan wouldn't work this time like with the others before, she needed to plan everything slowly and take it step by step.

In the first place, they didn't yet know what resulted in Shio having trauma. Yes, this place was purgatory, but the wolves protected him like their own and they were quite strong around here.

So far, he hasn't met anything life-threatening.

The weirdest part of the story was the fact that Shio looked like he had grown up here, but Zoel clearly said that they grew up together since they were 2 years old so how was that even possible.
