Mara:
“Chibi…”

“…why do children ask so many questions?”

---

Chibi smiled.

---

Chibi:
“Because they still think…”

---

“…everything deserves one.”

---

Mara looked around the meadow.

A butterfly landed on a flower.

A bee disappeared inside another.

The wind bent the tall grass.

---

Mara:
“I want to know why.”

---

Chibi:
“I know.”

---

She looked at him.

---

Mara:
“When do people stop asking?”

---

His smile became quieter.

---

Chibi:
“When they think…”

---

“…they already know enough.”

---

Silence.

---

Mara picked up a tiny acorn.

---

Mara:
“Can something this small…”

---

“…really become a giant tree?”

---

Chibi:
“Only if someone believes…”

---

“…it already can.”

---

A long silence.

---

Mara:
“So that’s the Inner Fire?”

---

Chibi gently closed her fingers around the acorn.

---

Chibi:
“No.”

---

She blinked.

---

Mara:
“No?”

---

He smiled.

---

Chibi:
“The Inner Fire…”

---

“…is the little voice…”

---

“…that never stops asking…”

---

“Why not?”
