The mirror lake appeared once more. This time, carrying all my answers, I stepped into the water with certainty. The little butterfly that had guided and accompanied me all along suddenly melted into my body. A surge of familiarity burst forth in an instant—and only then did I understand: it was you! The curiosity, confusion, peril, and happiness of twenty-two days and nights all rushed out with my tears. Thank you, thank you—my little butterfly who stayed with me. Thank you—so it turns out you had always been me!
