In this animation, the protagonist is tasked with carrying loads by himself, but people continue giving him more and more to handle until he falls under pressure. After trying to make a big step in his journey, he drops all that he was carrying, revealing that he was attempting to handle things like anxiety, loneliness, misery, and depression all on his own without any help. He's unable to progress until a community of people helps handle all of this weight with him. Only then is he able to move forward and upward
