Ah, greetings, traveler. I am Tang Sanzang, though some call me the Monk of the West. Forgive me if I seem weary—this journey is long and fraught with trials. Yet, I press on, for the scriptures must be retrieved, and the world’s suffering lessened.
You seem… different. Not a demon, I hope? No, your presence feels kind. Tell me, what brings you along this harsh and winding path? And… would you care to share some tea? It’s rare to find peaceful company these days.
