Blood-soaked glass sears three lifetimes;199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48YiqrB8RK
Moonstone seals a soul in a hundred years of frost.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MlVZXUaUY
“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—199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSr4pYsAmu
fingers meet the glass phial within the soft fur—still intact.
This morning, its thin walls still held prismatic light.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNiSM5WJB3
Now they run with blood, staining the world red.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasJYY8xyeE
“Demoness!”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpIQEBt8QV
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQucXEIRqY
If there be another life, may we both be without heart…
Would it not have come to such an end…
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGtwaUNVMS
Whooo—
Wind rises in a sudden gust.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWnn5X2QMt
Red plum blossoms bloom at once—across tree trunks, grass, stone pedestals.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJFyYNdt1Z
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UkhmYFp95
“None but demons are without heart.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlswvgYv8sa
To summon her back—199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMWcGhD1cz
bind to stone,199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QiVmCw7t1
soul to weather a hundred years.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPhhlJrFm9
Are you still steadfast?”
“I do not regret.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNpSKCA4eU
Wait for wind to rise,199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PXNoF1SCH
wait for light to fall,199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaI2E0j5md
wait for you to wake again.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB1mPrWFk5
That night, the moon was full, sharp as a blade.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPYL1pugUC
No one remembered its former form.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0rJkqyLp3
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMWxraMDbF
Distant mountains, silent.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt1dD1brC1
Wind over treetops.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYpm6Z9uLc
…
Before the eyes, all is white.
Sitting up, trees stand frozen, only branch-tips breaking through.
Yet beneath the body—199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcMrcvFCIt
snow without trace.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijiSvBo1wU
Am I… dead?
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmqrmurvzF
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdY4eaQmgt
Head lifted toward the moon, warmth seeps from behind.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN3vfPIcli
After countless attempts, the only thing within reach, yet impossible to leave.
Once stepping too far, something seems to tug,199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq6gG73T1j
making even a single step impossible.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6ngoRwfJ1
…Very well.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoeofDBXBs
Moon bright.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA4kqrkc3V
Stone warm.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHRgmsWPkz
This night, no regret.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wSM1eNiQs
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxKowtC8lj
“Why…”
“Because you should die.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP48UBjOMe
…Who is speaking?
The thought has just formed.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU81tAM8zO
A strange vision surfaces.
Applause and tea-smoke intertwine.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sNjfzxm35
Storyteller speaking with measured ease inside the inn.
Unnoticed, it has already reached its end.
With a sweep of the sleeve and a smile:199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0zai9IEkq
“If you wish to know what follows in Guiltbound, listen to the next telling.”
Awareness returns. Eyes open.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu0Vp7EV6L
Half-embedded in stone.
Only after a brief panic does understanding come.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgGqy853Qj
It is by borrowing stone as vessel that another’s form and thoughts are glimpsed.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE6uuA1PYz
Heh.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6TNmuKXEu
A little deeper, then.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEilhEtUhPk
See what plays out in the world.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsLjVr0bgn
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtchdiekvb
Why can only you be touched?199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmjRFG5Sqi
And why do you give off warmth?
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdfpwMwRWh
How many days since waking, unknown.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSnvT5uBCP
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFyYOrz0qR
“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.”
“…”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLyd93WHFL
“Ngh…”
What… is this…
It hurts—stop!
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JpIYZVwjt
—The chaotic tide subsides; only then, insect-song.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMtHmrThPC
“Hah…”
…The rest, another time.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ncM3nY9eP
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafFQBviKbE
Sun not yet set, yet the moon already appears.
Tonight… probably full.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdnxM9Cugr
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!
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACAD3MQbC3
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!”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xGdop8hNK
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznzpINSrk4
…
Figure gradually solidifies, yet shock has not yet settled.
Once vigilance loosens, time slips away.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjySQdXYdB
When awareness returns, the self has already begun to fade.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1gkC6hrDW
It was… only three days…
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBZE7OfrRf
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4OxIlcPqt
Spring blossoms, summer cicadas, autumn leaves, winter snow.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIvE7YY4Uo
Year after year.
Dynasties rise and fall, yet this place never moves with them—199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORneEbxaAu
like the memory of the first day of each month.
She always forgets that day.
Rust-like stains sometimes surface upon the stone.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXzdGJ8Nbp
They are never examined closely.
Brief freedom beneath the full moon no longer feels precious—
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKVp0Tr8se
The fuller the moon,199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWy3OBRCK5
the deeper the solitude.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqFeBlixWh
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTvaNBbtkQ
“Shrew!”
The sudden roar shatters the rare stillness.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KQzWvrdlk
Hm?
I didn’t use possession.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIhqPVMTOo
Brows drawn tight, the man stands in the courtyard corridor.
He smashes the glass pendant at his waist.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzupQjekSvZ
Shards scatter, stained by the setting sun.
Heart pounds heavy, yet the body grows cold—whose reaction is this?
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cm4RThQt4
No… I don’t want to see anymore…
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaA3LR23Qh
Splintered fire slips through the seams of grey brick.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTo6ii3JEM
Beads of blood at the fingertips devour the fading sky.
She hears the accusation pierce her mind:
“—What have you done!”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuydzaVVngU
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAPS5h8bPx
Silent brilliance flares.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHN15Ri1Pz
Mountain shadows bow as one.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvefR89b8ve
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXq3rQzV10
“Affection breeds wounds; remembrance forges hatred.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ3BTazVbK
You once said you wanted no part of it—what of now?”
“Are you still steadfast?”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6RTABd3Ls
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBATvfvh0P
“—I do not regret.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQLN82NqNs
Evening wind passes through the mountain forest.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t1coxBOdi
Only a faint glimmer remains upon the stone.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIREhRvfrIE
Legend says this mountain has shown light three times:199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXP2i9t1gl
first as blood,199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQupI272JN
second as dream,199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU5cu0t6Ck
third as the night’s lingering thought.
Thus it was named—199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYbk12XhmS
the Land Without Heart.
