Kyowai is me.

I love hiking. Love it. It's one of my favorite things to do and I've missed it terribly since I moved up into the cornfields of northern Indiana. I used to walk for hours upon hours through the forests and along the hills when I was younger, listening to the sounds of the trees, the leaves, the wind whisking through the branches. I loved watching the hypnotic sway of the foliage high above me and charting out the paths of the wildlife that came before me. Discovering new and fascinating nooks and crannies, building a makeshift campsite of my own and bedding down next to a tiny fire as the darkness enveloped everything, leaving nothing but deafening silence.

This is probably why Kyowai, my embodiment, is an eternal wanderer. An explorer. If nothing else awaits me in the afterlife, I would wish that I could explore the infinite unknown of the galaxy.
