Volcanic ash filled the sky, floating in the darkness, carrying the scent of sulfur as it fell.
The volcanic ash continued to drift for five days.
During these five days, everyone was engulfed in darkness.
People, once they stay in darkness for too long, undergo psychological changes.
In the darkness, malevolent thoughts and feelings of despair begin to surface.
Initially, it's just a small sprout, but as the darkness persists, the sprout grows larger, eventually becoming a towering tree.
The temperature drops.
It has dropped to only twenty degrees.
At the Big Camphor Tree Base, the air conditioning had long been turned off, and in this twenty-degree weather, everyone felt quite comfortable.
Not too cold, not too hot.
Occasionally, a gentle breeze would blow, and if one could ignore the falling volcanic ash and the sulfuric air, the temperature was quite pleasant.
