Blood-soaked glass sears three lifetimes;126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjBAY6Fjd7
Moonstone seals a soul in a hundred years of frost.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsedNzfsLy9
“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—126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RydJQSsDB
fingers meet the glass phial within the soft fur—still intact.
This morning, its thin walls still held prismatic light.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1Oqh7CFyt
Now they run with blood, staining the world red.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaH77F0QtA
“Demoness!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pX1qvSci0
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEUnZ0o6ss
If there be another life, may we both be without heart…
Would it not have come to such an end…
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiMLy5iBdH
Whooo—
Wind rises in a sudden gust.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfbeUNMhrk
Red plum blossoms bloom at once—across tree trunks, grass, stone pedestals.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ1wugX4Og
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JOChErHOS
“None but demons are without heart.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrbx2cY7bQ
To summon her back—126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWpsU9R7Bv
bind to stone,126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLfexkQvfM
soul to weather a hundred years.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykV99T0cre
Are you still steadfast?”
“I do not regret.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyEhSJl50C
Wait for wind to rise,126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthvO0BoS9v
wait for light to fall,126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBukfCW1Aj
wait for you to wake again.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsXY0UOS8G
That night, the moon was full, sharp as a blade.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF6b2wcKBO
No one remembered its former form.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzP4h5T7dS
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlgIG18d3K
Distant mountains, silent.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3zTZ34c4s
Wind over treetops.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAVgeVfsz0
…
Before the eyes, all is white.
Sitting up, trees stand frozen, only branch-tips breaking through.
Yet beneath the body—126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGeScf0yQw
snow without trace.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw8UyALbIb
Am I… dead?
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8N7zu9bgL
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStnsym0zEg
Head lifted toward the moon, warmth seeps from behind.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk9hq95vkT
After countless attempts, the only thing within reach, yet impossible to leave.
Once stepping too far, something seems to tug,126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx4ix47laT
making even a single step impossible.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXPNnbqCob
…Very well.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhtWDBYwcN
Moon bright.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdr2m8nBAu
Stone warm.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1ueQEuf3s
This night, no regret.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1b5Nx3xrQ
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhZoX3DLL0
“Why…”
“Because you should die.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zfcf2pYfL
…Who is speaking?
The thought has just formed.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk37fiX7SH
A strange vision surfaces.
Applause and tea-smoke intertwine.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhiAR9IvEW
Storyteller speaking with measured ease inside the inn.
Unnoticed, it has already reached its end.
With a sweep of the sleeve and a smile:126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMXC9Tqhch
“If you wish to know what follows in Guiltbound, listen to the next telling.”
Awareness returns. Eyes open.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGbXgUfhly
Half-embedded in stone.
Only after a brief panic does understanding come.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcK1NFPe1T
It is by borrowing stone as vessel that another’s form and thoughts are glimpsed.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbZNzG3jKd
Heh.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rRJJXzAIf
A little deeper, then.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBEBiFfeeb
See what plays out in the world.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQZBWFUNLC
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXGf8hHAdL
Why can only you be touched?126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEDWzilAsC
And why do you give off warmth?
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneuTxKhWQE
How many days since waking, unknown.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVnCQVG9Vm
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qhL4GADpD
“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.”
“…”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxorXNE7loX
“Ngh…”
What… is this…
It hurts—stop!
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4XtAAkeqI
—The chaotic tide subsides; only then, insect-song.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jwCdWqPyC
“Hah…”
…The rest, another time.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXmO496vUh
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkFcL1v4cM
Sun not yet set, yet the moon already appears.
Tonight… probably full.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK30JhbaCo
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!
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjPN4MXJ0o
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!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6g5iEsWkG
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnELS5K5OT
…
Figure gradually solidifies, yet shock has not yet settled.
Once vigilance loosens, time slips away.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUnL2YXNkh
When awareness returns, the self has already begun to fade.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBcCCbHxP6
It was… only three days…
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ765zVAJUYI
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWghZ4eix2
Spring blossoms, summer cicadas, autumn leaves, winter snow.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSI0CFT89l
Year after year.
Dynasties rise and fall, yet this place never moves with them—126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdh5ux0cok
like the memory of the first day of each month.
She always forgets that day.
Rust-like stains sometimes surface upon the stone.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOFPeRn5n3
They are never examined closely.
Brief freedom beneath the full moon no longer feels precious—
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBTO9WQRAk
The fuller the moon,126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gWjJlJ5Ti
the deeper the solitude.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSmE1lL2UO
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc8049V16E
“Shrew!”
The sudden roar shatters the rare stillness.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz31LyyfajY
Hm?
I didn’t use possession.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcGnhtygup
Brows drawn tight, the man stands in the courtyard corridor.
He smashes the glass pendant at his waist.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlArkNIA8Gk
Shards scatter, stained by the setting sun.
Heart pounds heavy, yet the body grows cold—whose reaction is this?
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv522SzCWr
No… I don’t want to see anymore…
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgZ9aMmQO9
Splintered fire slips through the seams of grey brick.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus1i3cS6US
Beads of blood at the fingertips devour the fading sky.
She hears the accusation pierce her mind:
“—What have you done!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU66XVwrs6
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv7J0ZHuYh
Silent brilliance flares.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiigLc9AJao
Mountain shadows bow as one.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVtRQ5yhbh
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0kkG7CvuD
“Affection breeds wounds; remembrance forges hatred.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYYuJWV3UU
You once said you wanted no part of it—what of now?”
“Are you still steadfast?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6XnOoq9k7
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARWoPiSAVK
“—I do not regret.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag9B6WpPNF
Evening wind passes through the mountain forest.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AXiJTgVZV
Only a faint glimmer remains upon the stone.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9gXThvKFn
Legend says this mountain has shown light three times:126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDsXCA7CJz
first as blood,126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGTNmQBxPi
second as dream,126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD53YpH5cb
third as the night’s lingering thought.
Thus it was named—126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPZBQRjZc6
the Land Without Heart.
