133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9k0OgpO4v
Blood-soaked glass sears three lifetimes;133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKQ12OZ9mg
Moonstone seals a soul in a hundred years of frost.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVj2Fulj3U
“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—133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCce59iqczT
fingers meet the glass phial within the soft fur—still intact.
This morning, its thin walls still held prismatic light.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6baf8RotY
Now they run with blood, staining the world red.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyTLjkrZ2D
“Demoness!”
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5l2C9mxKd
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vw9qEiCJ1
If there be another life, may we both be without heart…
Would it not have come to such an end…
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5xaXM334m
Whooo—
Wind rises in a sudden gust.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTGVsnQdpL
Red plum blossoms bloom at once—across tree trunks, grass, stone pedestals.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAp5upfiej
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6tPiIHPy4
“None but demons are without heart.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA56bEiDx59
To summon her back—133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdZRY5tyHn
bind to stone,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGg9XQNDnI
soul to weather a hundred years.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tc6ZGZywq
Are you still steadfast?”
“I do not regret.”
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e07OequIh
Wait for wind to rise,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVYuaLTb7k
wait for light to fall,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpIqZUM5YI
wait for you to wake again.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRH3kgc8XS
That night, the moon was full, sharp as a blade.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbRuTjMCBM
No one remembered its former form.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIgjkCDsW9
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvK6NcDBhW
Distant mountains, silent.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgllcHXNRK
Wind over treetops.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4kjVmPAcJ
…
Before the eyes, all is white.
Sitting up, trees stand frozen, only branch-tips breaking through.
Yet beneath the body—133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JRFSNHveE
snow without trace.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ0bu75aZK
Am I… dead?
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xEh8pNrd3
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEPB35k2Xy
Head lifted toward the moon, warmth seeps from behind.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFy1E6J932
After countless attempts, the only thing within reach, yet impossible to leave.
Once stepping too far, something seems to tug,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFwk046stE
making even a single step impossible.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HoE8P5Tfo
…Very well.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoOrCsyotd
Moon bright.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNEvdoxP7N
Stone warm.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtuPgvxRK6
This night, no regret.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxRIpVrK7S
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVffCIo08P
“Why…”
“Because you should die.”
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT65fWRtjy
…Who is speaking?
The thought has just formed.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUAlo2y7wy
A strange vision surfaces.
Applause and tea-smoke intertwine.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYShy53k8Kn
Storyteller speaking with measured ease inside the inn.
Unnoticed, it has already reached its end.
With a sweep of the sleeve and a smile:133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwID7WqMoN
“If you wish to know what follows in Guiltbound, listen to the next telling.”
Awareness returns. Eyes open.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbG4dh2Xoe
Half-embedded in stone.
Only after a brief panic does understanding come.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoSma3ZJfh
It is by borrowing stone as vessel that another’s form and thoughts are glimpsed.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hw5umC27W
Heh.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2OEJ0cszy
A little deeper, then.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g1pLqBdPa
See what plays out in the world.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErcxivYcCg
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YONVMmwu9
Why can only you be touched?133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gc9ccJ4cB
And why do you give off warmth?
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTySUB6F0R
How many days since waking, unknown.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWYe4DpbNf
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EH6iXNje7
“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.”
“…”
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUy2JK3IUs
“Ngh…”
What… is this…
It hurts—stop!
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PC3aJPYFQ
—The chaotic tide subsides; only then, insect-song.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHTIWnSMX8
“Hah…”
…The rest, another time.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnEJ9C94JB
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG2nOggg18
Sun not yet set, yet the moon already appears.
Tonight… probably full.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fhAFauaWN
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!
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn96eIHg6T7
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!”
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v04j4IxPT
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs3Je6DJZD
…
Figure gradually solidifies, yet shock has not yet settled.
Once vigilance loosens, time slips away.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZpN47UENI
When awareness returns, the self has already begun to fade.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdKUOOWspT
It was… only three days…
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL5y51bEet
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW23mrpeM5m
Spring blossoms, summer cicadas, autumn leaves, winter snow.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqeumuNqNG
Year after year.
Dynasties rise and fall, yet this place never moves with them—133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3SnKtScGP
like the memory of the first day of each month.
She always forgets that day.
Rust-like stains sometimes surface upon the stone.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNimyG7qbvd
They are never examined closely.
Brief freedom beneath the full moon no longer feels precious—
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNJrldLYGZ
The fuller the moon,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4jWU2gsBT
the deeper the solitude.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY2qN7YCKr
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcOAUc9WXJ
“Shrew!”
The sudden roar shatters the rare stillness.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWmoomvh18
Hm?
I didn’t use possession.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLzx2PswIa
Brows drawn tight, the man stands in the courtyard corridor.
He smashes the glass pendant at his waist.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdGTaRWWUb
Shards scatter, stained by the setting sun.
Heart pounds heavy, yet the body grows cold—whose reaction is this?
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon2S4AR96v
No… I don’t want to see anymore…
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFd72rH3ao
Splintered fire slips through the seams of grey brick.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDrc2FTUre
Beads of blood at the fingertips devour the fading sky.
She hears the accusation pierce her mind:
“—What have you done!”
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHDY8TiaHw
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ33cKTLAsG
Silent brilliance flares.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivNprnPDmF
Mountain shadows bow as one.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyxbuPFupm
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPKA1QVPKF
“Affection breeds wounds; remembrance forges hatred.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr5WSbfID2
You once said you wanted no part of it—what of now?”
“Are you still steadfast?”
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrP8IvfIAF
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H0LeiswFI
“—I do not regret.”
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqHMzZvkJh
Evening wind passes through the mountain forest.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8MaNrzEoU
Only a faint glimmer remains upon the stone.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVNGYKsJmz
Legend says this mountain has shown light three times:133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24JRYxUBkT
first as blood,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweeawbFPgd
second as dream,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1Drd3pABQ
third as the night’s lingering thought.
Thus it was named—133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BUaLMaMAJ
the Land Without Heart.
