What's the growler? Is it a thing or a person? I started to find more clues. I asked the sisters if they knew anything about a growler. Most of them said they didn't know. They asked me if I was talking about an animal. What was Hannibal trying to say? The note and the hand watch he gave me was sure to have a relationship, and Rachel was sure to have a relationship with Diane, too.

I thought maybe the watch itself could be a clue. I examined the watch carefully.

It wasn't running. It had three hands, an hour hand, a minute hand, and a secondhand, but it seemed a bit different from a normal watch. It was sure that it wasn't made to be a normal watch.

I took it to Bertie and asked him to examine it. He found out that it wasn't a watch but a small safe.

He said, 'I'm sure the hands are for a combination. With those hands, there could be 86,400 combination. I can find the right combination by trying one by one but it would take a lot of time.'

He said he wanted to examine it further. I told him to go ahead and I sat next to him. Then we heard a knock on the door.

Bertie said come in. It was the sisters. They told me that the abbess was looking for me.

...

I followed them to Sarny Sum to meet the abbess. She was a calm lady with an impression that she knew everything. She was old, but she looked much younger than her age.

Her name was Selene. She asked me if I knew the myth of the goddess and a shepherd boy. I said I did cause my name was named after the boy. She asked me if I knew what the story implies. I said I didn't know for sure.

'All the myths and the stories have deep meanings at the bottom of it. Some are made to give a lesson, and some are made purely out of human observation. People make stories just for fun at times, but at other times, they make stories in an effort to interpret and understand the world around them. The most interesting thing about myths is that, I think, it represents the unchanging human nature. The world changes, and so do all of us. But no matter in what world we're living in, there are things that do not change,' she said.

I nodded. But still, I didn't know what she trying to say.

'I'm sorry young man. It's been a while since I have a chat with a fine man like you. Forgive my manners. I personally love the story. I think the story implies the innate solitude of human beings. We have a tendency to rely on something to cover our misery. Life is a series of pain and agony, young man. That's why people try to find peace in religion.'

I asked her, 'Is it wrong?' She laughed and said, 'Not at all. I'm not trying to say it is wrong to rely on something.
