Part 2/8:
The first story introduces a heart-wrenching scenario featuring a pregnant woman left to fend for herself in a snow-blanketed city. Despite her husband's promise to return soon from gathering supplies, he vanishes for an astonishing 13 years. The ever-chaotic state of her home mirrors her desperate existence as she sustains herself through a magical jar of roots, which her husband left behind, that prevents the birth of her child. Manifesting horrifying consequences, the fetus grows into an adult-sized baby trapped within her womb.
