After calming down her tumultuous emotions, Keiko dragged her feet weakly back to the bed while carrying Seol-Hyun's diary and the silver pendant. She carefully untied and separated the pendant from the book, placed it on top of the bed beside her, then turned her attention back to the diary.
The diary was wrapped in a leather case. The paper was slightly wrinkled but well protected. It seemed that the diary used to have a lock, but it was broken, and thus it became easy to open.
Seol-Hyun was slightly younger than her—she was 26 years old when she passed away. The first page of the diary was dated 16 years ago. At that time, she was only 10 years old.
