The Unknown wanders a Beast, summoning every lost person into this weird jungle. When they completely admit their despair, they will turn into edelweiss trees, which are chopped down by the woodcutter and made into lamp oil to maintain the light of a lantern...
The woodcutter and her daughter used to live together in the unknown, but one day his daughter was lost too far to return, so the cunning Beast put her daughter’s soul into a lantern and told the woodsman that if the lantern is not extinguished, the daughter’s The soul will not disperse. Day after day, the woodcutter watched quietly as people continue to enter the unknown, constantly turning them into fuel. Until that day, Wirt and Greg broke into this dense forest, and finally broke Beast's lie-the lantern is actually the soul of Beast. It needs to constantly devour the lost to maintain its existence. It deceived the woodcutter.
The woodcutter blew out the lantern. It turned out that the most terrifying Beast in the jungle was also so fragile. Not only extinguished the dreams that had been in existence for decades, but also extinguished the soul of Beast. Over the past few decades, he has been only Beast's agent, inaction is also a kind of acquiescence, and acquiescence is actually an accomplice.
But this is an animation after all, and most animations require happy endding, so at the end of the story, it gave the woodman a snowy reunion...
For some reason, only the woodcutter was deeply impressed. I think it's probably because everyone has a Dark Latern, and they have to bear a burden.
