Dreams Brought by the Night’s Sin
Soaring up, crumbling down. The desire of the mother
With recurring nightmares, the prologue begins.
The night’s <sin>...never to be forgiven…
Brings me dreams of sadness...even now…
Dreams of my child...carried by a reed boat…
Disappearing to darkness beyond...
These wishes of a foolish mother…much like bubbles…
Are fragile, and keep disappearing into nothing…
So...in an attempt to keep this newly lit flame burning…
I named this child Hiruko*…
But it was all for nothing…
*lit: Child that keeps a flame in place. However, the kanji is written differently from Izaki’s child.
And…
If he were alive…
I’m sure he would’ve grown into a cheerful and energetic boy…
Ah...this time for sure...even if I were to be branded by blue sin…
I want to bear this next child...to not lose him...and to embrace him with a smile…
I will share everything with you...the noisy mornings...the sleepless nights…
Any mother would wish for their child’s happiness-
From the pits of <despair>...
I saw a slope leading towards <hope>-
I run up…
“This is...Hiashi Shirogane shrine?”
