        colossal durian tree right in the middle of the bluish forest.
        In everyone’s mind, there was the intention to fulfill Kane’s will; as
        a result, determination filled the hearts of all members, but this
        did not last long. When members of the flock finally arrived at the
        towering tree and collided with the durian fruit, they seemed to
