0~0 0u0 well, it started as a simple reassurance, but it became something bigger... it became symbolism for the great swamp trees. they all look like individual trees, but their roots are all able to intertwine and connect, turning the trees into one giant living thing. ^u^ so to hold someones hand is to permit yourselves to connect for a moment, and to stand together. 0u0
