149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawteh35VnS
Blood-soaked glass sears three lifetimes;149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnqgzhxXiE
Moonstone seals a soul in a hundred years of frost.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GjWvtEr4s
“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—149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjPhGJHqGb
fingers meet the glass phial within the soft fur—still intact.
This morning, its thin walls still held prismatic light.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG2DqdBoW8
Now they run with blood, staining the world red.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT45SILlfJ
“Demoness!”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1LUAfo7rS
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsGDeVUG6W
If there be another life, may we both be without heart…
Would it not have come to such an end…
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LA3siDOC0
Whooo—
Wind rises in a sudden gust.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnbYwfji09
Red plum blossoms bloom at once—across tree trunks, grass, stone pedestals.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilywBHVmKc
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczPAyEYV85
“None but demons are without heart.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ2D2UENLs
To summon her back—149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghcYNNAcW5
bind to stone,149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDasyqN6VMG
soul to weather a hundred years.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ufKkUr74f
Are you still steadfast?”
“I do not regret.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbydqkby3a
Wait for wind to rise,149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob604PDpFe
wait for light to fall,149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A9i8tkMJd
wait for you to wake again.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJebWhuOzAX
That night, the moon was full, sharp as a blade.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAACbcka26Y
No one remembered its former form.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5zUEaPhc3
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VQCNEWqJa
Distant mountains, silent.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHiZsGKJKi
Wind over treetops.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvr8L3A3qk
…
Before the eyes, all is white.
Sitting up, trees stand frozen, only branch-tips breaking through.
Yet beneath the body—149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm9XSp5TMo
snow without trace.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApLiy83KCM
Am I… dead?
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0XHhJWuy0
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rzTtzCiN8
Head lifted toward the moon, warmth seeps from behind.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBtccwr86j
After countless attempts, the only thing within reach, yet impossible to leave.
Once stepping too far, something seems to tug,149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOUnYzzJNJ
making even a single step impossible.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6wsA3FBjM
…Very well.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8zQfchXzn
Moon bright.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm6eEjHIYI
Stone warm.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPCjSpFcoo
This night, no regret.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTVYs7DDxg
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IVqeMEuP6
“Why…”
“Because you should die.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhV8DDMC6s
…Who is speaking?
The thought has just formed.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedmpZMpcAp
A strange vision surfaces.
Applause and tea-smoke intertwine.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhb0Fg7Edw
Storyteller speaking with measured ease inside the inn.
Unnoticed, it has already reached its end.
With a sweep of the sleeve and a smile:149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiFG5Fu4ul
“If you wish to know what follows in Guiltbound, listen to the next telling.”
Awareness returns. Eyes open.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVhbbVv4s3
Half-embedded in stone.
Only after a brief panic does understanding come.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiwXJS3GCX
It is by borrowing stone as vessel that another’s form and thoughts are glimpsed.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RemyIHyf8
Heh.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64DdzUwsYw
A little deeper, then.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv6R0VgoN1
See what plays out in the world.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJmf8pGl0i
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXRSeFMmHy
Why can only you be touched?149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFdBdTdesn
And why do you give off warmth?
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqweCEmD69f
How many days since waking, unknown.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoy4lSkyDn
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPbCROO8Yk
“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.”
“…”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93WHPRj2Wx
“Ngh…”
What… is this…
It hurts—stop!
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oTOFaAOcB
—The chaotic tide subsides; only then, insect-song.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo949OYKb0O
“Hah…”
…The rest, another time.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUXID3biLy
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SpJSFyYvK
Sun not yet set, yet the moon already appears.
Tonight… probably full.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK1C2WOiJj
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!
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi7vuOBit0
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!”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v8quZBJC3
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtW6YZ5had
…
Figure gradually solidifies, yet shock has not yet settled.
Once vigilance loosens, time slips away.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHycVjo3Z8
When awareness returns, the self has already begun to fade.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSkrp89LcU
It was… only three days…
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oGAMgSU3C
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjLl21Byzo
Spring blossoms, summer cicadas, autumn leaves, winter snow.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofHZRSzoeX
Year after year.
Dynasties rise and fall, yet this place never moves with them—149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu4fXK2BEz
like the memory of the first day of each month.
She always forgets that day.
Rust-like stains sometimes surface upon the stone.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQYAmU0ZDq
They are never examined closely.
Brief freedom beneath the full moon no longer feels precious—
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymv4TEZJiN
The fuller the moon,149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25JPp8iEPo
the deeper the solitude.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJplH5lqfrJ
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYSEj4Ua9M
“Shrew!”
The sudden roar shatters the rare stillness.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz44MitTGl
Hm?
I didn’t use possession.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9NlieR0Y7
Brows drawn tight, the man stands in the courtyard corridor.
He smashes the glass pendant at his waist.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXm7TcH3Jw
Shards scatter, stained by the setting sun.
Heart pounds heavy, yet the body grows cold—whose reaction is this?
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR4nYa4CvY
No… I don’t want to see anymore…
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxw4EpXtzI
Splintered fire slips through the seams of grey brick.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO5daMI04L
Beads of blood at the fingertips devour the fading sky.
She hears the accusation pierce her mind:
“—What have you done!”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWKUoEt4X4
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn1cGHu6EN
Silent brilliance flares.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ294PrFsf39
Mountain shadows bow as one.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4804BKz25I
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SRG5b6ekM
“Affection breeds wounds; remembrance forges hatred.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwu278THtL
You once said you wanted no part of it—what of now?”
“Are you still steadfast?”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj4GJO7igf
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9eo7mMgc3
“—I do not regret.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B56xHMRoL
Evening wind passes through the mountain forest.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HCsf4OwAm
Only a faint glimmer remains upon the stone.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcoLS1vHjf
Legend says this mountain has shown light three times:149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiF4rb7flY
first as blood,149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvGMwEXTe2
second as dream,149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvhAh5F0m3
third as the night’s lingering thought.
Thus it was named—149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz0IvrLVbo
the Land Without Heart.
