That must be snakes, bugs, or the symbolization of fulfilled peace.
Looking closely, the fence of wire and the countless corpses caught up in it can be seen moving.
Those sacks of flesh entangled in painful ways must be the remains of those who perished in a war fought in the past.
Now, it moves like a living thing, wandering where the Smoke War may have taken place.
The concertina wire was a line crossed between you and me, and a separator.
However, this rusted, bloodstained wire now binds us together and squeezes us so our flesh and eyes meet.
Sneak up and remove a part of the wire. Wrath & Pride Advantage check. Pass to gain a Bleed E.G.O Gift.
Who will take it off?
Wrath / Pride Advantage: ≥ 14 No Advantage: ≥ 28
Check Passed
While it stood still, we carefully approached it.
If we remove a part of it, those bound to it might find momentary peace.
"...!"
Taking off a piece of the wire was surprisingly easy.
However, the flesh lumps show no change at all.
It's as though they are telling us that this won't be remotely sufficient to free them from what they suffered that day.
E.G.O Gift Smokes and Wires Earned!
Check Failed

"...!"
We weren't familiar enough with the wire's structure. The hand twists and gets dragged into the wire in an instant.
"G-Get it out, quickly!"
The arm was pulled out thanks to the help of several people, but it was left severely mangled.
The Selected Identity took 30 HP Damage!

Cut the tip of a finger to drop my blood on the wire.
Who will shed the blood?
Gloom / Gluttony Advantage: ≥ 11 No Advantage: ≥ 22
Check Passed
Was it by pity or some kind of sympathy?
Or was it the idea that sharing the pain might reduce their burden?
Drops of blood fall from the tip of the hand and seep into the flesh, little by little.
The thing finally responds, approaching as if to look down on you.
Maybe it saw me as the same as those who perished in the thick fog.
When it opened its mouth with a pitiful look, a glowing object was inside.
It might be a small token of consolation it's offering. You took the object.
Cost 60 gained

"...Urk!"
All corpses and bodies bound to the wire scream at once.
The thing begins to rampage in unison.
As I was not part of the war nor I was there to witness it, I cannot associate with or understand them in any way.
It was merely a fit of hasty arrogance.
There was no choice but to flee from the place, leaving the raging thing behind.
Nothing happened.
