Wow, what a puzzling short, ghost! I watched it from the embeded video in your post.

This short is atmospheric and folklorish. In order to follow it or understand, I have to ponder the clues and the consequence.

Possible spoiler

Spoiler: I think I am following the idea of the consequence of Rhena's decision, and I think she understands it too. But I wonder if anyone has an interpretation of why she does what she does at the very end. Or maybe I just have to listen to the words in the wind.

Thank you for this immersive little short, ghost!
