“As long as I stay frozen, I don’t have to suffer anymore.” Kano Ameri, Ice God of the Northern Kingdom

Even food here is black.
I always want red apples to grow on the tree, but the tree always produces only black fruit, as if it's making fun of me.
One day the oldest sage asked me. “What color do you like?” I was taken aback by the unexpected sound, and then answered that it was black.

I was about to say that the sunset is red. I swallowed my words.
A few days later, news came that he had piled up wood in the square and set it on fire. Then he broke the taboo and was expelled.

Black is just a pile of ashes. Being a coward, I couldn't reach out to the hot red flames and could only touch the remaining ash.
If I had blonde hair, wouldn't he start a fire?
The ash from the burnt pieces of wood tickled my lungs, and I kept coughing.
