-but it was simply a decoy. Once the enemies are drawn in, the cavalry disperses<br>
The enemy can’t stop themselves in their tracks soon enough, and the cannons lie in wait for three calls<br>
<br>
(“One! Two! Three! Fire!”)<br>
<br>
If the enemy is caught off guard, even simple tactics will put holes in their ranks<br>
Amidst the fires of battle, I felt my hands shaking at the obvious outcome<br>
<br>
Fearing the spread of war, the alliance of great powers come to extinguish the flames<br>
Crowning <new rulers>[heroes] even after denying <the holy Flandre Empire>[monarchy]<br>
With the fire of revolution....<br>
<br>
<Cannon> roars resound in the sky<br>
Above hills <in operation>[in revolution]<br>
<br>
Laughing at the irony, the flame burns....<br>
<br>
“Oh? I suppose this is what you chose this time around.<br>
But perhaps that is wise...”<br>
<br>
My beloved...headed off to war...and I put on a brave front as I watched him go...<br>
The sunset...was a sorrowful shade of red...and my <true emotions>...poured out...<br>
A young girl whispered to me...as if she saw through my heart-<br>
<br>
(“Don’t cry, madam.”)<br>
<br>
<br>
“<Miss Violette on the right arm><br>
She’ll smile in joy for lives coming<br>
<Miss Hortense on the left arm><br>
She’ll cry in lament for lives passing”<br>
<br>
“My, was it the other way around?<br>
Oh well. Take away from it what you will.<br>
If you’re feeling lonely, I’ll lend you these girls.<br>
But [make sure] you give them back to the next me you meet.”<br>
<br>
When I talk to these girls, I feel nostalgic for some reason<br>
I wonder why? I’m recalling my childhood dreams<br>
<br>
Ah...even though I was abandoned by my parents, I still dreamt of love<br>
I’ll become a <worrying mother>[maman], kinder than anyone else<br>
That’s...what I wanted...<br>
<br>
Ah...but in reality, I <denied>[refused] giving birth to a child<br>
I’ll become a <doting mother>[maman], sweeter than anyone else<br>
Even though...that’s what I wanted...<br>
<br>
I learned how to make dolls just by watching, and by the time my creations started looking decent<br>
The husband I’ve long waited for returned from the battlefields in a wheelchair.<br>
We talked at length about what happened when we were apart, and what we should do for the future.<br>
The conversation went on until the moon gave way to the sun...<br>
<br>
Will the child really be happy about being born in this <era>[country], into this Ninth Reality[era]?<br>
The more I think about it, the less sure I am...<br>
<br>
-Hey<br>
Even though you stumbled through the morning of your coming<br>
And will struggle until the night of your passing<br>
If you will <affirm>[accept] the <present> you’re living in<br>
And its <future> without giving up <hope>[light]<br>
<br>
Then that child will also come to love <life, with all its ups and downs>[life]...right?<br>
<br>
But...that realization came too late...<br>
That’s right...we’ve grown too old<br>
To bear children...<br>
-No...even then...you’re living...<br>
<br>
““That’s right!””<br>
““It’s not over yet!!!””<br>
<br>
If that’s the case-<br>
<br>
This <era of revolution> swaying in happiness<br>
This <era of change> drenched in sadness<br>
We’ll connect this <story>[song] of our own crafting to you, soon to be born!<br>
<br>
Even if [I/my wife] won’t be the one to give birth to you...<Oh winter child who did not become ours>[Hiver]<br>
[We] still love you dearly!<br>
If you ever find <a peaceful era, a bountiful country, and someone to love you>[a suitable roman]...<br>
Please...come and be born...<br>
<br>
The flame goes round and round<br>
<br>
The choice of bearing. The choice of not bearing.<br>
The choice of being born. The choice of not being born.<br>
If there is a flame never extinguished by tears<br>
The future is in the hands of the Laurants...<br>
<br>
(“Can a roman be found there...?”)<br>

The choice of being born. The choice of not being born.
If there is a flame never extinguished by tears

("Soko ni Roman wa aru no kashira?")
From <The Fifth Archive>, I have established a connection between <what could be called consciousness> and the fifth horizon...

Where [she] lived, it is customary for dead children to be buried with twin dolls, as strange as it sounds. Who started this tradition? This horizon is subject to quite a bit of uncertainty, making observation rather difficult. The woman had experienced pregnancy and birth, but it was a sad <story> as her child was a stillborn...
The <factor> that was predicted to change the outcome of this tragedy - I attempted a [denial] of [her] ad921d60486366258809553a3db49a4a.

Well then. Is the cat within the box alive, or is it dead? Let us take a peek inside the cage...

What does sadness really tell among life and death?
The unknown lady, who sings across the horizons and links to Roman.
She is the Nein.

A Flame Never Extinguished by Tears

A transient <flame>[light] shines upon our <lives in terrible poverty>[lives]
Everyone’s reducing the number of mouths to feed, but they’re not any better off

All our hardships led us to one <last resort>[answer]-
“Open the floodgates and let the water overrun this <ancient regime>[Ancien Regime]!”

A reign goes on for too long, with <absolute power>[chains] comes absolute corruption
And we dragged the monarchy to the ground with <the power of the common folk>[our own hands]...

Our history has led us to <one of endless parallel worlds, which you cannot even perceive without the ability to detect the border between horizons>[this world]
Where is it heading to, full of uncertainty?

<An abundance of stardust>[Light] shines in these repeating nights
Drowning the <story>[path] leading towards our children in purple...

If only we were born in a different era; if only we were born a different class
Would we have been given different choices in life?

In the name of freedom and equality, the <guillotine> continues to devour blood
An <era> of change, just how long will this flow last?

Between life and death, the flame burns...

(“Thanks to your swift mobilization, we have now captured the hills with a commanding view!
We are the imperial army! The honorable second division! After General Laurencin-!!!”)

-but it was simply a decoy. Once the enemies are drawn in, the cavalry disperses
The enemy can’t stop themselves in their tracks soon enough, and the cannons lie in wait for three calls

(“One! Two! Three! Fire!”)

If the enemy is caught off guard, even simple tactics will put holes in their ranks
Amidst the fires of battle, I felt my hands shaking at the obvious outcome

Fearing the spread of war, the alliance of great powers come to extinguish the flames
Crowning <new rulers>[heroes] even after denying <the holy Flandre Empire>[monarchy]
With the fire of revolution....

<Cannon> roars resound in the sky
Above hills <in operation>[in revolution]

Laughing at the irony, the flame burns....

“Oh? I suppose this is what you chose this time around.
But perhaps that is wise...”

My beloved...headed off to war...and I put on a brave front as I watched him go...
The sunset...was a sorrowful shade of red...and my <true emotions>...poured out...
A young girl whispered to me...as if she saw through my heart-

(“Don’t cry, madam.”)


“<Miss Violette on the right arm>
She’ll smile in joy for lives coming
<Miss Hortense on the left arm>
She’ll cry in lament for lives passing”

“My, was it the other way around?
Oh well. Take away from it what you will.
If you’re feeling lonely, I’ll lend you these girls.
But [make sure] you give them back to the next me you meet.”

When I talk to these girls, I feel nostalgic for some reason
I wonder why? I’m recalling my childhood dreams

Ah...even though I was abandoned by my parents, I still dreamt of love
I’ll become a <worrying mother>[maman], kinder than anyone else
That’s...what I wanted...

Ah...but in reality, I <denied>[refused] giving birth to a child
I’ll become a <doting mother>[maman], sweeter than anyone else
Even though...that’s what I wanted...

I learned how to make dolls just by watching, and by the time my creations started looking decent
The husband I’ve long waited for returned from the battlefields in a wheelchair.
We talked at length about what happened when we were apart, and what we should do for the future.
The conversation went on until the moon gave way to the sun...

Will the child really be happy about being born in this <era>[country], into this Ninth Reality[era]?
The more I think about it, the less sure I am...

-Hey
Even though you stumbled through the morning of your coming
And will struggle until the night of your passing
If you will <affirm>[accept] the <present> you’re living in
And its <future> without giving up <hope>[light]

Then that child will also come to love <life, with all its ups and downs>[life]...right?

But...that realization came too late...
That’s right...we’ve grown too old
To bear children...
-No...even then...you’re living...

““That’s right!””
““It’s not over yet!!!””

If that’s the case-

This <era of revolution> swaying in happiness
This <era of change> drenched in sadness
We’ll connect this <story>[song] of our own crafting to you, soon to be born!

Even if [I/my wife] won’t be the one to give birth to you...<Oh winter child who did not become ours>[Hiver]
[We] still love you dearly!
If you ever find <a peaceful era, a bountiful country, and someone to love you>[a suitable roman]...
Please...come and be born...

The flame goes round and round

The choice of bearing. The choice of not bearing.
The choice of being born. The choice of not being born.
If there is a flame never extinguished by tears
The future is in the hands of the Laurants...

(“Can a roman be found there...?”)
