ALT In this world, strangeness has long been accepted. Creatures, mysteries, stories, and quiet wonders coexist with everyday life. What once felt unfamiliar has become part of the world’s natural rhythm. A year filled with encounters, crossing paths, and bonds not always seen. Some stayed, some only passed through, some walked far ahead — yet all of them left their traces behind. A new chapter awaits beyond midnight. New paths will take shape. New stories will emerge. Looking forward with hope, carrying every experience that has been lived. With gratitude for what has been, and openness toward what is yet to come. To those of you who have accompanied, supported, and walked alongside throughout this year, thank you!
