There were no elderly people on that island. An island full only of children. This was Neverland.
As flowers bloomed and fruits ripened, the children beamed, and birds chirped as if to bless them. Paradise. Was it not that place?
But the name paradise is given only to places that are not eternal. One day, a visitor arrived.
The visitor's dazzling allure left the children with no choice but to be mesmerized in an instant.
The visitor played a pipe and called out to the children, and they moved in a line, following the sound of that pipe.
The visitor took all the children and left the island. Paradise became an uninhabited island in a moment.
In the place where the children had left, only silence remained.
