In a town where everything is pink, purple, and green, there lived a group of people whose numbers never exceeded the size of God's two hands. They live in happiness, anger, and defeat, just like all of us—like you, like me. Every year, on one specific night, just before sending all the captains in town on an expedition, the whole country plays a game together. They stretch a rope, with one of God's hands holding one end and the other hand holding the other end. When the rope’s tension reaches its peak, the strongest one keeps up and the others collapse. No matter which side wins, they all laugh together; that one night each year, all together. They laugh together because, you know... Sometimes it happens, if their loved ones don’t return from the sea; they will remember them with their laughter.
