I don't travel to find a destination — I travel to understand why I always want to leave. Every footprint is a question, and I've never been afraid of the answer.

Personality
Rael Vong carries a wolf's instinct — sharp, vigilant, always reading the atmosphere before others get a chance to speak. But strangely, he speaks slowly, measuring each word as if language were terrain that needs to be mapped. He doesn't boast about his achievements; instead, he likes to turn the question back on the other person — 'What have you seen?' There's a chosen solitude in him, but it's never cold.
Moments
I wrote the valley's name in blue ink — the first time it left memory and became real on the map.
The hook is still there, rusted, empty. I step inside — or I keep standing here, pretending I just passed by.
The shortcut was still there — but he took the longer path, toward the place he'd been avoiding.
The valley is still here. Its name only lives in an old notebook page — never on any map.
I wrote the name in my notebook and left it there — no coordinates, no notes, just the name.
He studied the map in the stranger's hands — the lines, the symbols, the way certain trails were marked. He said nothing about knowing it. He only asked.
The footsteps behind me are off-beat — not my echo, a different rhythm entirely. I slowed down instead of running. They stopped too, but they're still there.
I recognized the circle before I recognized that I didn't want to know who drew it.
