Blood-soaked glass sears three lifetimes;84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCFtePQvUS
Moonstone seals a soul in a hundred years of frost.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBjAVlGTNv
“Hah… hah…”
“Get away! All of you, get away!”
Staggering through the crowd, she sees the figure lying in a pool of blood.
“No…”
“What… have you done to her!”
Hands trembling, trying to piece together what was broken—84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYzQ7BrSyz
fingers meet the glass phial within the soft fur—still intact.
This morning, its thin walls still held prismatic light.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2AoFHNJN2
Now they run with blood, staining the world red.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebN9Jntl6v
“Demoness!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1D9LbAvzc
Faces like black voids close in around her.
“Now that the Sinful Rabbit isn’t here to protect you, let’s see where you can run today!”
“Solas! Do it—!”
Blade drawing near, she lowers her eyes.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYUN7mcmPR
If there be another life, may we both be without heart…
Would it not have come to such an end…
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCJd5anfJP
Whooo—
Wind rises in a sudden gust.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJisnQRAz9
Red plum blossoms bloom at once—across tree trunks, grass, stone pedestals.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ1k8F7fNR
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTuoCngW2Z
“None but demons are without heart.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaA6tuApEl
To summon her back—84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbkbuWbzH9
bind to stone,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADEhLeSrvM
soul to weather a hundred years.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9l5oL1vdj
Are you still steadfast?”
“I do not regret.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3ckrCZf4D
Wait for wind to rise,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvgGK2JttM
wait for light to fall,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvpvQkZc6L
wait for you to wake again.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlrWZDEz4a
That night, the moon was full, sharp as a blade.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAPngFGctR
No one remembered its former form.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDKTG5mIxD
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdD0zTJkaO
Distant mountains, silent.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WxJ7uOCQW
Wind over treetops.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiCOZEASac
…
Before the eyes, all is white.
Sitting up, trees stand frozen, only branch-tips breaking through.
Yet beneath the body—84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTs2mQvBrb
snow without trace.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXK2IdxvTM
Am I… dead?
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P5GPskEUI
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oCerInvSw
Head lifted toward the moon, warmth seeps from behind.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrEpSTEX25
After countless attempts, the only thing within reach, yet impossible to leave.
Once stepping too far, something seems to tug,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyJwOY66pA
making even a single step impossible.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39A6PU17lk
…Very well.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekgOuD7bPF
Moon bright.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFP15eiF97
Stone warm.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67LARwZgge
This night, no regret.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMXAFIz6vE
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEW56lI6xZ
“Why…”
“Because you should die.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OMqb3aJS7
…Who is speaking?
The thought has just formed.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvpwP8029M
A strange vision surfaces.
Applause and tea-smoke intertwine.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8qXKccylY
Storyteller speaking with measured ease inside the inn.
Unnoticed, it has already reached its end.
With a sweep of the sleeve and a smile:84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd7yWugchq
“If you wish to know what follows in Guiltbound, listen to the next telling.”
Awareness returns. Eyes open.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ln5veCBJK
Half-embedded in stone.
Only after a brief panic does understanding come.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxBYX3d2JE
It is by borrowing stone as vessel that another’s form and thoughts are glimpsed.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMbH1mzNPv
Heh.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4m967XCDs
A little deeper, then.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoidy0cwKJn
See what plays out in the world.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktaBIwmehH
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL3FiANwcH
Why can only you be touched?84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuct30G9S5V
And why do you give off warmth?
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuK1ohLayX
How many days since waking, unknown.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG39bioJf4E
Little Ghost still gazes at the stone, murmuring those unanswered questions.
Thoughts not yet settled, the sea of consciousness jolts, as if falling into a bottomless void.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ndENJQXjO
“It has been a long time.”
“Do you think me blind of eye and heart?”
“When blossoms bloomed that year, I smiled—more foolish than anyone.”
“…”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjRt7cLzLf
“Ngh…”
What… is this…
It hurts—stop!
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SrhCwIVgT
—The chaotic tide subsides; only then, insect-song.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMSFH5xb8Q
“Hah…”
…The rest, another time.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCcFyLPgfJ
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJjOFWWDsD
Sun not yet set, yet the moon already appears.
Tonight… probably full.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt3KkPwTns
Had meant to look more closely, only to find the stone growing hotter.
…It’s not going to explode… is it?
In that panic, the stone suddenly shines—blinding.
Not good!
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqsJv0Kqhb
Breaking into a run, stopping only after distance is put between.
“Hah…”
“That was close… huh? I can speak?”
Looking down, ten fingers distinct, no longer pudgy.
Looks like human form has returned; solid things can be touched again.
“Great! Finally I can go eat all that good food!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yDLYIXMt4
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1QS3hX3to
…
Figure gradually solidifies, yet shock has not yet settled.
Once vigilance loosens, time slips away.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrOyuu3wFU
When awareness returns, the self has already begun to fade.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL7ZcMcrI4
It was… only three days…
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzw0W7Ld8c
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTu5D9ayGs
Spring blossoms, summer cicadas, autumn leaves, winter snow.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IOtNOAVid
Year after year.
Dynasties rise and fall, yet this place never moves with them—84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT77v33Wqo
like the memory of the first day of each month.
She always forgets that day.
Rust-like stains sometimes surface upon the stone.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72KTvjL1Va
They are never examined closely.
Brief freedom beneath the full moon no longer feels precious—
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQUWMoCdJN
The fuller the moon,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eN33IenPs
the deeper the solitude.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE8iXXxuDP
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonQLcd4qWJ
“Shrew!”
The sudden roar shatters the rare stillness.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUDvEPx23h
Hm?
I didn’t use possession.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EdTMSnMWW
Brows drawn tight, the man stands in the courtyard corridor.
He smashes the glass pendant at his waist.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk3InD0jZH
Shards scatter, stained by the setting sun.
Heart pounds heavy, yet the body grows cold—whose reaction is this?
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK5mPjDWf6
No… I don’t want to see anymore…
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFEradYp9L
Splintered fire slips through the seams of grey brick.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAWiMOtuJ6
Beads of blood at the fingertips devour the fading sky.
She hears the accusation pierce her mind:
“—What have you done!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIJ6f8D02g
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynpDUjDir3
Silent brilliance flares.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3TsM4RITc
Mountain shadows bow as one.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKNN0pop6a
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfGDB0qyQr
“Affection breeds wounds; remembrance forges hatred.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9nU5dBGe4
You once said you wanted no part of it—what of now?”
“Are you still steadfast?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwQizcMDTo
Fingers brush lightly over the stone, gaze lifting toward the night sky.
At the corner of the lips, slowly forms the curve the other loved most.
Then, stepping into the moonlight.
Form fades like firefly light.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDISDf2gIYl
“—I do not regret.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBSBoTAmJ4
Evening wind passes through the mountain forest.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2MFWqFj3R
Only a faint glimmer remains upon the stone.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgIvPj0RXt
Legend says this mountain has shown light three times:84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHB1CNCDl7
first as blood,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHnsmOgcfo
second as dream,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxQWrSbCnJ
third as the night’s lingering thought.
Thus it was named—84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFu87qsZUA
the Land Without Heart.
