172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TJgVKd9yZ
Blood-soaked glass sears three lifetimes;172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdioyKMfzk
Moonstone seals a soul in a hundred years of frost.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs34P28UHUR
“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—172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzs7nuJkZ2
fingers meet the glass phial within the soft fur—still intact.
This morning, its thin walls still held prismatic light.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJMQKBeBsQ
Now they run with blood, staining the world red.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9SbnoVRUY
“Demoness!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dmRAp3gpZ
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw01kXFODOF
If there be another life, may we both be without heart…
Would it not have come to such an end…
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH7TfuskOk
Whooo—
Wind rises in a sudden gust.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm95I9nRln7
Red plum blossoms bloom at once—across tree trunks, grass, stone pedestals.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEWu3wfd8K
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu2r1F4JwD
“None but demons are without heart.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMXavrZG7x
To summon her back—172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldrTcWbmNu
bind to stone,172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVoRrw3vrh
soul to weather a hundred years.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr3BWqYbaH
Are you still steadfast?”
“I do not regret.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIyvNJI3II
Wait for wind to rise,172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNImAygTnR1
wait for light to fall,172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk8M6gaZG7
wait for you to wake again.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLypLdcjls4
That night, the moon was full, sharp as a blade.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyYyjQ2FcO
No one remembered its former form.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YyP4UxeF9
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeLYCb3XGp
Distant mountains, silent.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9oIjOMPC3
Wind over treetops.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPEQX9Adz5
…
Before the eyes, all is white.
Sitting up, trees stand frozen, only branch-tips breaking through.
Yet beneath the body—172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJmSlp4G9k
snow without trace.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtlejEHLXU
Am I… dead?
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeACpNMK8Wt
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsJFcAZr0Z
Head lifted toward the moon, warmth seeps from behind.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLeKcX9OWL
After countless attempts, the only thing within reach, yet impossible to leave.
Once stepping too far, something seems to tug,172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uCTP97LiP
making even a single step impossible.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ8dXNLmUy
…Very well.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6oAkBpOGg
Moon bright.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiKzkjFPGB
Stone warm.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UinQRHkDI
This night, no regret.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YMJOG1tha
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5DPmk8c4I
“Why…”
“Because you should die.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGIlWSyrDT
…Who is speaking?
The thought has just formed.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGXl3Zdn9Q
A strange vision surfaces.
Applause and tea-smoke intertwine.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX8RhLEqjI
Storyteller speaking with measured ease inside the inn.
Unnoticed, it has already reached its end.
With a sweep of the sleeve and a smile:172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyyDOfiupD
“If you wish to know what follows in Guiltbound, listen to the next telling.”
Awareness returns. Eyes open.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgVuCFMYbZ
Half-embedded in stone.
Only after a brief panic does understanding come.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3ofv4jkYn
It is by borrowing stone as vessel that another’s form and thoughts are glimpsed.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1psVGTNFn
Heh.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGhOrxMwjc
A little deeper, then.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHK7YT5DlD
See what plays out in the world.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv8DzT0gA4
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxDSQRjOGI
Why can only you be touched?172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeN6gIvF6N
And why do you give off warmth?
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiSKrk1Y8V
How many days since waking, unknown.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgo3dQwgW9
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevx8A1P7S4
“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.”
“…”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38X5JeN3Yc
“Ngh…”
What… is this…
It hurts—stop!
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOR0SE2kEO
—The chaotic tide subsides; only then, insect-song.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0HznCPkOK
“Hah…”
…The rest, another time.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8CU1dUyzy
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljTkfMdgL4
Sun not yet set, yet the moon already appears.
Tonight… probably full.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqsqdydkmo
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!
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIpvafKCGh
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!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yXv7mxIBo
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyqDwttllB
…
Figure gradually solidifies, yet shock has not yet settled.
Once vigilance loosens, time slips away.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9VEYO7MH4
When awareness returns, the self has already begun to fade.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlWOaqBSYp
It was… only three days…
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnkyzhJEmj
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx91tNFgWYD
Spring blossoms, summer cicadas, autumn leaves, winter snow.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm2KSKwc4B
Year after year.
Dynasties rise and fall, yet this place never moves with them—172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tnyvi4qKd
like the memory of the first day of each month.
She always forgets that day.
Rust-like stains sometimes surface upon the stone.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6zoY4YcFy
They are never examined closely.
Brief freedom beneath the full moon no longer feels precious—
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86WZjV29nZ
The fuller the moon,172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6UZHsRGNU
the deeper the solitude.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRIwkHmeOT
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNV2ta9Yr2
“Shrew!”
The sudden roar shatters the rare stillness.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafmhnoCF1E
Hm?
I didn’t use possession.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhxVi8aQf0
Brows drawn tight, the man stands in the courtyard corridor.
He smashes the glass pendant at his waist.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbLI3fqODw
Shards scatter, stained by the setting sun.
Heart pounds heavy, yet the body grows cold—whose reaction is this?
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr27qtlY9Lg
No… I don’t want to see anymore…
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQm33uLiFl
Splintered fire slips through the seams of grey brick.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva0s6Gv4QH
Beads of blood at the fingertips devour the fading sky.
She hears the accusation pierce her mind:
“—What have you done!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl4JUdZ1Gt
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCId6oHKrjl
Silent brilliance flares.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WM16SywF3
Mountain shadows bow as one.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsE8LNaBBr
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH03qsUW86b
“Affection breeds wounds; remembrance forges hatred.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJkkN6r9ut
You once said you wanted no part of it—what of now?”
“Are you still steadfast?”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt9Fx9mmiV
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcu5ZcmJnF
“—I do not regret.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiFvqyx2Ia
Evening wind passes through the mountain forest.172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHKkf3Eaht
Only a faint glimmer remains upon the stone.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Cm6eA06VG
Legend says this mountain has shown light three times:172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sd8RplJTJ
first as blood,172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJOjm0jmDP
second as dream,172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvZeKLiNhK
third as the night’s lingering thought.
Thus it was named—172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsUHVm33Os
the Land Without Heart.
