The old woman who refused to eat pain.
Welin used to open a late night porridge shop. She recognizes customers by what they ask for: some like ginger, some don't. And some people order one cup and share it between two people. When you get older Her hands began to shake, but she continued to cut the scallions herself. Because I like to know that there is someone Im before going back to sleep.
After the experimental device under the village turned off the light leak. People are weak for no reason. Welin felt hungry like never before. No matter how much you eat, it won't work. And her shadow moved slightly more slowly than her body. One night, she held the hand of a fainting customer and his hunger subsided. As the man became even more pale. She immediately released her hand. But this brief feeling made her more afraid of herself than the rumors of others.
Welin closed the shop and locked himself in the kitchen. Villagers interpreted the disappearance based on stories they had heard. Some people leave food for them. Some people threw stones at the roof. She heard everything but didn't go out to argue. Because he was not sure if he could control his hands when approaching a weakened person. The loneliness made the shadows grow darker, almost drowning out her voice.
A bean delivery boy named Pui began placing ingredients at the door according to the old delivery contract. Welin told him to go. But the child asked for the remaining peanuts in a normal tone. That normalcy pulls you back. She took note of her hunger and found that it decreased near the sliver of light under the kitchen floor. You don't always have to touch people.
Nineteenth year Malin and Eirin inspect the village. The three carefully experimented. It was discovered that Welin was able to draw residual power from the leaking machine. But if sucked directly from life Shadow will begin giving orders on her behalf. Welin made a stop with the team. Withdraw immediately when she cannot remember the name of a customer in the store. Do not use good intentions as a substitute for verifiable measures.
Underground machine erupts in heavy rain night She could just let it crash and get away with it. Because the community had hurt her. But Pui and many old people were stuck near the vent. Welin went down with the team. Not the only one She draws out the remaining power one moment at a time. While Eirin arranged the vent and Malin monitored his pulse. When the shadow began to call out to him to continue eating. She was the one who said the stop word.
Instead of forcing her body completely, they used a tool to cover up the rest. The village survived without anyone having to become fuel. Welin returned to the shop. Saw people helping to collect rocks from the roof. She accepts help but asks the accusers to come forward and tell the truth. Repairing the tiles is not enough if the rumors continue to harm people.
She joins the Arun Coalition as a Residual Power Manager and field cook. Insist that there is no need to call her by a prestigious title. Just Grandma Welin is enough. She carries Shadow Claws to use with Shards of Power. And carry the shop's spoon to remind you that the same hands can still do gentle things.
On the first night of camp She served porridge to someone who had just gone through a battle. But take a break when your hands shake. No one said that the sacrifice must be done until exhaustion. Pui, who came to help deliver supplies, continued receiving the ladle. Welin sat down and ate his cup slowly, his hunger still not completely gone. But she wasn't alone in it. And there is no need to hurt anyone to prove that they are alive.
