On a cold night, a Goblin father returned home and presented his son with a red handball. The boy was surprised to learn that his father had left the ball in front of a house belonging to a girl named Yuki. Deciding to return the ball, the boy ran through the snow to a nearby village the next morning, where he saw boys and girls singing cheerfully. He eventually arrived at a small house and found a girl sitting alone on the veranda. She introduced herself, saying, “I am Yuki. Who are you?” The boy handed her the ball, and she replied with gratitude, “I was looking for it. My sickly mother made this for me. Thank you very much.” This exchange eased his worries, and the two quickly became friends.
