In my memory, candles are items with significant symbolism.
Before becoming a "supernatural power user," I used to delve into various knowledge and objects related to supernatural powers all day long. For a long time, I also imitated the ancient monks in some classical texts, focusing on the candle's wick and imagining myself lighting it with my gaze, never expecting that I could actually ignite it at a moment. This was also the beginning of my formal transformation from an ordinary person into a supernatural power user.
As for the decisive turning point in my formal entry into the abnormal world, although I'd like to say it was the day I met Mazao, what comes to mind first is the night I entered the basement on the 15th floor alone.
