Then, at some point, she caught a glimpse of that world hidden deep in the darkness:
Endless calamities befell this land. Although each calamity manifested itself differently, the final outcome was always the same—a tidal wave of deep blackness would surge forth from the center or corners of the field of vision, engulfing everything in sight.
"At the time, I didn't know what had happened."
The blind woman smiled quietly, her tone revealing no fear or panic, only a calm acceptance of the situation: "I tried to communicate with people, but unfortunately, no one believed me. Even those who initially took care of me eventually abandoned me."
