This is little Syrii, and she's floating endlessly down a wide river. She floats without emotion, without loneliness, and without any idea of where she's going. Although she doesn't know how long she's been in the river, she knows it's unchanging.
One day, Syrii drifted near land where she met a curious figure. An elegantly, yet darkly clad demon dwelled near the shore with a heart full of grief. Upon spotting the small, floating child, the demon reached forth and plucked her from the river. Syrii explained she was but a child, and the demon revealed itself to be the Woeful Maiden of Marriage. Syrii wondered why the demon chose to suffer on land, rather than release its sorrows into the river.
