Nekek: Trials of Nekek: A quest for a better world

“Let’s create a dreamy cake”, said the little girl to kitty.

When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of growing up quickly. I thought that as an adult, I would be able to experience a better world. I imagined a world where people were kinder, the sun shone brighter, and the grass was greener.

When I grown up, I began to realize that the world was not as perfect as I had once imagined. So I decided to take action.

I realized that growing up was not about experiencing a perfect world, but about working to make the world a better place.
