Blood-soaked glass sears three lifetimes;29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVgJl8BH4Z
Moonstone seals a soul in a hundred years of frost.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqmgDcMc3E
“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—29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv42Tcl0E75
fingers meet the glass phial within the soft fur—still intact.
This morning, its thin walls still held prismatic light.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6baZgo6oG
Now they run with blood, staining the world red.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2kJSLPwZ2
“Demoness!”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mWZAM1wwx
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNOG7zaXIr
If there be another life, may we both be without heart…
Would it not have come to such an end…
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonf3NhbzwD
Whooo—
Wind rises in a sudden gust.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSz7PvxEV3
Red plum blossoms bloom at once—across tree trunks, grass, stone pedestals.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwhH2DursT
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pX0iaqvKb
“None but demons are without heart.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN53RDXLMI
To summon her back—29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdylwGAUAR
bind to stone,29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjuzGgkr78
soul to weather a hundred years.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi3pGKFgJX
Are you still steadfast?”
“I do not regret.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOCHedtz2S
Wait for wind to rise,29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchkXxyZyNY
wait for light to fall,29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kOqNTwUwS
wait for you to wake again.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmq3QI2UBz
That night, the moon was full, sharp as a blade.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe8f9jhodM
No one remembered its former form.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCxkfs5jbp
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVNZbvbiFf
Distant mountains, silent.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWiPAdXX0W
Wind over treetops.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIPdWn1vex
…
Before the eyes, all is white.
Sitting up, trees stand frozen, only branch-tips breaking through.
Yet beneath the body—29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVY4mQLDZX
snow without trace.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkG971RE2Q
Am I… dead?
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8Mtyolypc
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxI1NKSqhm
Head lifted toward the moon, warmth seeps from behind.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HKtBgDHCf
After countless attempts, the only thing within reach, yet impossible to leave.
Once stepping too far, something seems to tug,29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfsc8vybd6
making even a single step impossible.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrZHcS1Ob8
…Very well.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaLM8F2oub
Moon bright.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4Pmv9haMC
Stone warm.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK0xRerzlv
This night, no regret.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1V1RsPYO3
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGCEuTJMvj
“Why…”
“Because you should die.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVijA4xkgBf
…Who is speaking?
The thought has just formed.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaTvMSH7EO
A strange vision surfaces.
Applause and tea-smoke intertwine.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UjIkg5YdG
Storyteller speaking with measured ease inside the inn.
Unnoticed, it has already reached its end.
With a sweep of the sleeve and a smile:29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ359OWC63ug
“If you wish to know what follows in Guiltbound, listen to the next telling.”
Awareness returns. Eyes open.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH9Cg0mNVw
Half-embedded in stone.
Only after a brief panic does understanding come.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzwOXQoomM
It is by borrowing stone as vessel that another’s form and thoughts are glimpsed.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dDtuHVXeG
Heh.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6NCynoN9H
A little deeper, then.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0uigJT7t0
See what plays out in the world.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRk2C9N00K
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEk37DC1Ls
Why can only you be touched?29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXWYnZ0XZ4
And why do you give off warmth?
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccBHwTQJQm
How many days since waking, unknown.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr24N4H24VB
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPZenMCzJJ
“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.”
“…”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU3mYt2Ysx
“Ngh…”
What… is this…
It hurts—stop!
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNu8bQggxU
—The chaotic tide subsides; only then, insect-song.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr76x9tjhkN
“Hah…”
…The rest, another time.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP0r0PYrpB
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgZ4TuuzHR
Sun not yet set, yet the moon already appears.
Tonight… probably full.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdjQnEaFna
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!
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjEfgiFnxo
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!”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ79D3T9IN
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3sKzLfkUc
…
Figure gradually solidifies, yet shock has not yet settled.
Once vigilance loosens, time slips away.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMzPZH0ovQ
When awareness returns, the self has already begun to fade.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp8mcDl5dv
It was… only three days…
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBUMUh3lKW
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28Fd75vKxM
Spring blossoms, summer cicadas, autumn leaves, winter snow.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnnYYgaoit
Year after year.
Dynasties rise and fall, yet this place never moves with them—29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU8k1ZCbkO
like the memory of the first day of each month.
She always forgets that day.
Rust-like stains sometimes surface upon the stone.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqvD58RMb2
They are never examined closely.
Brief freedom beneath the full moon no longer feels precious—
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUKmugNyY7
The fuller the moon,29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUgSnAl9Ef
the deeper the solitude.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklnTicyQ5x
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5MhpxOGUU
“Shrew!”
The sudden roar shatters the rare stillness.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnNBNXX0mk
Hm?
I didn’t use possession.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWi19fEn4z
Brows drawn tight, the man stands in the courtyard corridor.
He smashes the glass pendant at his waist.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAteTTkMzka
Shards scatter, stained by the setting sun.
Heart pounds heavy, yet the body grows cold—whose reaction is this?
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q1vWMyW9G
No… I don’t want to see anymore…
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuqW5gOx2r
Splintered fire slips through the seams of grey brick.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRGLt3mDfx
Beads of blood at the fingertips devour the fading sky.
She hears the accusation pierce her mind:
“—What have you done!”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQgwfkWw9y
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUlU8gbhYW
Silent brilliance flares.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1e6cw91mK
Mountain shadows bow as one.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RjBry65Sb
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK0elVumam
“Affection breeds wounds; remembrance forges hatred.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyPWZHYvXz
You once said you wanted no part of it—what of now?”
“Are you still steadfast?”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4vcvjzCFI
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyE9mVESq5
“—I do not regret.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTk2Re97Yn
Evening wind passes through the mountain forest.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu7VUpyj1f
Only a faint glimmer remains upon the stone.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQkB6ry8cm
Legend says this mountain has shown light three times:29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l5gJnSyoX
first as blood,29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2qQ0OjGSh
second as dream,29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyfO8BRROi
third as the night’s lingering thought.
Thus it was named—29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02XxJLaTGM
the Land Without Heart.
