You know what is really beautiful about Khemjira the series?
It’s how many people chose to save Khem.
Peem does everything he can to keep him alive. And that's beautiful. But it’s not just Peem. It’s Jet; who would cross the world for his best friend. It’s Charn; who was willing to die for someone who was barely more than a stranger at first.
It’s the villagers who protected him however they could. It's his mother; watching over him for his entire life instead of choosing to be at peace, and his father dedicating everything to keep him safe.
Its Thong and Ake, who fought to their last breaths, never regretting it and never blaming Khem for the cost. And the ancient lord of the mountain who sent Peem a vision so he’d have a chance to protect Khem
It's Khachen and Jane; willing to trick an evil spirit and face its fury if it meant giving their friends more time, and the monk who pulled Khem back from a demon and shielded him with his own body.
It’s the people who came at the end: who didn’t let death itself stop them from trying to give their loved one a better chance against a monster.
There is so much love in this story.
Khem lives because of Peem, yes, and because of Jet, and Charn. But he also lives because countless others saw his goodness and believed he was worth saving.
