[New story 2020] In the middle of the GLOOMY grove 林 you find a tin can 缶, containing a beautiful crown 冖, and a flask with very nice-smelling fragrant herbs 鬯! You feel so happy and lucky after finding these interesting items... but suddenly, they start changing shape 彡 in your hands... and turn into ashes! So, in similar fashion, your feelings, and the shape 彡 of your face, go from happy to really GLOOMY... and now you truly understand why this place is called the GLOOMY grove.
