Blood-soaked glass sears three lifetimes;127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXkTbPxL4u
Moonstone seals a soul in a hundred years of frost.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZpwkxuafZ
“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—127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5qIMm402j
fingers meet the glass phial within the soft fur—still intact.
This morning, its thin walls still held prismatic light.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfhU8AR7Bx
Now they run with blood, staining the world red.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxjHlxMv9j
“Demoness!”
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iRYYtsFAE
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.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm2lDisbvG
If there be another life, may we both be without heart…
Would it not have come to such an end…
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc8j2CvdJ8
Whooo—
Wind rises in a sudden gust.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC25tsbk7JW
Red plum blossoms bloom at once—across tree trunks, grass, stone pedestals.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrjmnTmCDW
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5XR1UxgHf
“None but demons are without heart.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbX4gn7P41
To summon her back—127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitn1zFmnal
bind to stone,127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj06Apv9ymB
soul to weather a hundred years.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GohfMgYH0
Are you still steadfast?”
“I do not regret.”
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAcjxmDZfh
Wait for wind to rise,127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fyjx3tM24
wait for light to fall,127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs4BGZysjo
wait for you to wake again.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMX5zSoWch
That night, the moon was full, sharp as a blade.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiimFXPv5uZ
No one remembered its former form.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKtZvDhW2U
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDylAJ9Dqro
Distant mountains, silent.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI98SSWFL9
Wind over treetops.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY4tE0JvcR
…
Before the eyes, all is white.
Sitting up, trees stand frozen, only branch-tips breaking through.
Yet beneath the body—127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NDGLDfAmo
snow without trace.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZGcr29UXC
Am I… dead?
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHajAdWzCXM
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SX5HHgMKl
Head lifted toward the moon, warmth seeps from behind.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixPEvJrp4A
After countless attempts, the only thing within reach, yet impossible to leave.
Once stepping too far, something seems to tug,127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6jG6iipCG
making even a single step impossible.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J7RjV5k9j
…Very well.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2D1ZWFfJk
Moon bright.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMA3OfB6wp
Stone warm.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhq9us8aon
This night, no regret.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6MCPUP7ns
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJWHDT765e
“Why…”
“Because you should die.”
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqKv22wjrg
…Who is speaking?
The thought has just formed.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxekV6h8oI8
A strange vision surfaces.
Applause and tea-smoke intertwine.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu12JSkOWbI
Storyteller speaking with measured ease inside the inn.
Unnoticed, it has already reached its end.
With a sweep of the sleeve and a smile:127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpIksAOgmN
“If you wish to know what follows in Guiltbound, listen to the next telling.”
Awareness returns. Eyes open.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCvyEd8ydu
Half-embedded in stone.
Only after a brief panic does understanding come.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy3vt1HOnx
It is by borrowing stone as vessel that another’s form and thoughts are glimpsed.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ990xVXjJZd
Heh.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwps4x2Cau
A little deeper, then.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1VaBglEq2
See what plays out in the world.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbk7DUaktc
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerhQx1rlpj
Why can only you be touched?127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpElvhb8sQ
And why do you give off warmth?
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33Lbcz1CZD
How many days since waking, unknown.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJpK5oOT6I
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.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J2VAkWVPX
“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.”
“…”
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3kqfRZCvm
“Ngh…”
What… is this…
It hurts—stop!
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3hJdRT9mQ
—The chaotic tide subsides; only then, insect-song.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5AYjF5AXV
“Hah…”
…The rest, another time.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUmRFSSj6C
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30QnLNrVR5
Sun not yet set, yet the moon already appears.
Tonight… probably full.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwklJbK5pf8
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!
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJGALcPWKs
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!”
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRyTvVKmsF
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM63WXt9aHV
…
Figure gradually solidifies, yet shock has not yet settled.
Once vigilance loosens, time slips away.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvfIQ6IP9h
When awareness returns, the self has already begun to fade.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiddUZ4cgO
It was… only three days…
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOyebnExko
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrwgorkoYt
Spring blossoms, summer cicadas, autumn leaves, winter snow.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEtJWwHxnL
Year after year.
Dynasties rise and fall, yet this place never moves with them—127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpT3yrY53P
like the memory of the first day of each month.
She always forgets that day.
Rust-like stains sometimes surface upon the stone.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN9QeYRm83
They are never examined closely.
Brief freedom beneath the full moon no longer feels precious—
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4rcGkulKi
The fuller the moon,127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovSdwXBLWn
the deeper the solitude.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9POVvU3P5m
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOtqR6ABDR
“Shrew!”
The sudden roar shatters the rare stillness.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNatjjPSB9
Hm?
I didn’t use possession.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1NrIEClf1
Brows drawn tight, the man stands in the courtyard corridor.
He smashes the glass pendant at his waist.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjTBe9QExP
Shards scatter, stained by the setting sun.
Heart pounds heavy, yet the body grows cold—whose reaction is this?
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre2tRVuop2
No… I don’t want to see anymore…
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgqOgBbfny
Splintered fire slips through the seams of grey brick.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh04zUzRTBW
Beads of blood at the fingertips devour the fading sky.
She hears the accusation pierce her mind:
“—What have you done!”
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4GiVrVGXd
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS0t6FNeXQ
Silent brilliance flares.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDjQJHGZA3
Mountain shadows bow as one.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhNG61hkmX
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWnI29YV5E
“Affection breeds wounds; remembrance forges hatred.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP6eGitiof
You once said you wanted no part of it—what of now?”
“Are you still steadfast?”
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzItbolgFD
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.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rbZJ0h0Tz
“—I do not regret.”
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUWmXeHyWF
Evening wind passes through the mountain forest.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ2E9mewjC
Only a faint glimmer remains upon the stone.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWX31AbdXR
Legend says this mountain has shown light three times:127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaj9omuv48
first as blood,127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv0vAaHD9c
second as dream,127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1mwfwmM1Y
third as the night’s lingering thought.
Thus it was named—127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNo2izcZw8
the Land Without Heart.
