Blood-soaked glass sears three lifetimes;182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlgCh1Oy8Y
Moonstone seals a soul in a hundred years of frost.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7vZ6fjOVy
“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—182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGfKqW1PAg
fingers meet the glass phial within the soft fur—still intact.
This morning, its thin walls still held prismatic light.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud0G2nhgAE
Now they run with blood, staining the world red.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzoh6donbl
“Demoness!”
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsbrVu2SGZ
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOoa77iWQZ
If there be another life, may we both be without heart…
Would it not have come to such an end…
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O77WPE8aK
Whooo—
Wind rises in a sudden gust.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYYzIRWOR8
Red plum blossoms bloom at once—across tree trunks, grass, stone pedestals.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyeWIsFYES
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17yzdU10L9
“None but demons are without heart.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPLVJ8m1aN
To summon her back—182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45i59Pq1HX
bind to stone,182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj4S5rVuje
soul to weather a hundred years.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHkLDwtBEq
Are you still steadfast?”
“I do not regret.”
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPWN6lgGpe
Wait for wind to rise,182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzLju14KDA
wait for light to fall,182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpn74Hstxo
wait for you to wake again.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3dOPWXodb
That night, the moon was full, sharp as a blade.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvoY3PUHgw
No one remembered its former form.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfNuKoPJas
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFIrzycAgB
Distant mountains, silent.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNtJBl3HEh
Wind over treetops.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFh4dlKJTz
…
Before the eyes, all is white.
Sitting up, trees stand frozen, only branch-tips breaking through.
Yet beneath the body—182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNwJWqjLLe
snow without trace.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjxJp2JLcR
Am I… dead?
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBxZekyhlC
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLhgcxIJVe
Head lifted toward the moon, warmth seeps from behind.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU0dyykn4F
After countless attempts, the only thing within reach, yet impossible to leave.
Once stepping too far, something seems to tug,182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFAIcuYsu9
making even a single step impossible.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHVRVOFtKP
…Very well.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2qOAlRVcZ
Moon bright.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdRN7HAkF5
Stone warm.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8hfhWvOau
This night, no regret.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaBuNQNT2N
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ725KzOBNDl
“Why…”
“Because you should die.”
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI7afZtoA7
…Who is speaking?
The thought has just formed.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq77pzTIRs
A strange vision surfaces.
Applause and tea-smoke intertwine.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvcSxtHmWT
Storyteller speaking with measured ease inside the inn.
Unnoticed, it has already reached its end.
With a sweep of the sleeve and a smile:182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsOGQAnoQI
“If you wish to know what follows in Guiltbound, listen to the next telling.”
Awareness returns. Eyes open.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMQlw47xbS
Half-embedded in stone.
Only after a brief panic does understanding come.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNx5yfYBnO
It is by borrowing stone as vessel that another’s form and thoughts are glimpsed.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6Swy5PC2T
Heh.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M7AUq1DSY
A little deeper, then.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X927v2WVr
See what plays out in the world.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQtqRYTySa
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqr2CmhMAP
Why can only you be touched?182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr722epSqwP
And why do you give off warmth?
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gNAGgPemk
How many days since waking, unknown.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGJ9nDu2I3
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ890lCNUxI5
“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.”
“…”
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg5GkAjJDl
“Ngh…”
What… is this…
It hurts—stop!
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwl268uzs1
—The chaotic tide subsides; only then, insect-song.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMtcCBqw2E
“Hah…”
…The rest, another time.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ0WBFTbJD
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0Zx4puFJX
Sun not yet set, yet the moon already appears.
Tonight… probably full.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5GX3rGIMs
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!
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhavIRBDYDf
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!”
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1QFWWUSOO
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7l9aUzDTt
…
Figure gradually solidifies, yet shock has not yet settled.
Once vigilance loosens, time slips away.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s7aBqxgQh
When awareness returns, the self has already begun to fade.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW387vi5z8
It was… only three days…
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzsu0uKK6g
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7XjPn2DsP
Spring blossoms, summer cicadas, autumn leaves, winter snow.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBJL3isyTo
Year after year.
Dynasties rise and fall, yet this place never moves with them—182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZKfKNgzbA
like the memory of the first day of each month.
She always forgets that day.
Rust-like stains sometimes surface upon the stone.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq6HjUWPvu
They are never examined closely.
Brief freedom beneath the full moon no longer feels precious—
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHaH5tqQRH
The fuller the moon,182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7eSGidXHh
the deeper the solitude.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinc4XQVOzf
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeIEzbDAOH
“Shrew!”
The sudden roar shatters the rare stillness.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIL3xbwAOz
Hm?
I didn’t use possession.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTio1I3fLOR
Brows drawn tight, the man stands in the courtyard corridor.
He smashes the glass pendant at his waist.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0XeiOhjt8
Shards scatter, stained by the setting sun.
Heart pounds heavy, yet the body grows cold—whose reaction is this?
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgBqDSz3ip
No… I don’t want to see anymore…
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3rcu2NdyR
Splintered fire slips through the seams of grey brick.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFT6kFZ76F
Beads of blood at the fingertips devour the fading sky.
She hears the accusation pierce her mind:
“—What have you done!”
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeuZRpvRgT
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71Onnzp4oA
Silent brilliance flares.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54nr1OYRiC
Mountain shadows bow as one.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn5cF1PTf6
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5PUpqq1W9
“Affection breeds wounds; remembrance forges hatred.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOd6EeIGc6
You once said you wanted no part of it—what of now?”
“Are you still steadfast?”
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSVBPq8yQL
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85I6rfgJpV
“—I do not regret.”
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGv92bHfJi
Evening wind passes through the mountain forest.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdwid9Om6w
Only a faint glimmer remains upon the stone.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eF7pTGuGD
Legend says this mountain has shown light three times:182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIFer3Fwag
first as blood,182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EkuI2RZ3T
second as dream,182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUPNMec8h5
third as the night’s lingering thought.
Thus it was named—182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUNcmqyqcS
the Land Without Heart.
