Status Updates From 忘れられた巨人

Part 1 done. Symbolism now feels quietly insistent—the serpent near Wiston, splitting like water around stone, and the novel’s scenic descriptions linger as more than image. Moral tensions deepen, especially between truth and deception where Edwin is concerned, and among Wiston, Gawain, and the grey-haired soldier. The narrator has withdrawn, leaving interpretation increasingly unsettled. Querig remains an enigma.
