In an unremarkable antique shop, a small, white candle is placed on the very top of a cabinet. It looks just like an ordinary candle. The mysterious owner of the shop says that she is made from the fat of deep-sea merpeople, and can burn for millennia… 

​

The Millennium Candle has the power to reveal the deepest desires in a person's heart, and those who own it can make any wish come true. She has witnessed one greedy and ugly soul after another, and assuming the young monk before her would be like those humans, until she eventually realized their unbreakable friendship. She comprehends the young monk's kindness, sincerity, and gratitude, while the young monk understands her loneliness and exhaustion.
