#¤$**~^¨¨¨ in the north, the deer is often used as ¨¨¨^~**$¤#
##¤$**~^¨¨ a symbol for the forest's agency, or ¨¨^~**$¤##
###¤$**~^¨ its self-knowledge. watching eyes. ¨^~**$¤###
##¤$**~^¨¨ ¨¨^~**$¤##
#¤$**~^¨¨¨ warmer regions instead ascribe it the ¨¨¨^~**$¤#
##¤$**~^¨¨ knife (teeth, rumors of violence), or ¨¨^~**$¤##

#¤$**~^¨¨¨ age the secrets will harden into a ¨¨¨^~**$¤#
##¤$**~^¨¨ caramellized structure, which will ¨¨^~**$¤##
###¤$**~^¨ eventually block the flow of blood, and ¨^~**$¤###
##¤$**~^¨¨ kill the deer. ¨¨^~**$¤##
