the Afterlife : A Bond of Gratitude

금호와 아낙 : Long ago, a tiger who fled after failing the trial of a great being spent many quiet years hiding deep in the mountains.

One day, his journey began when he rescued a little girl,
the sole survivor found beside her grandmother who had fallen to a pack of dholes.

The child grew into a healthy young woman, but her life was tragically cut short by the flames of war.

Grieving his failure to protect her, the tiger struck a bargain with a Reaper to enter Purgatory.
And there, in the realm beyond, the saved child was finally reunited with her guardian tiger.
