Lyrics

Safe Pregnancy
I pray that my child will be delivered safely. Please lend me your divine strength. I have gone through multiple pregnancies in the past, but was not able to deliver any of those children into this world...I am getting too old to bear children again, so I believe this to be my last chance. I know I’m grasping at straws, but my late mother prayed at this shrine when she gave birth to me, so here I am to do my final prayer. I know everything is my fault....but my child is innocent. As long as I can give birth to this child, I don’t care what I have to give up in return, even if it’s my own life...Please. Please, I beg of you.

Dreams Brought by the Night’s Karma

Soaring up, crumbling down.
The desire of the mother
With recurring nightmares,
The prologue begins.

The night’s <karma>...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 kept disappearing into nothing…
So...in an attempt 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

And...
If she were alive...
I’m sure she would’ve grown into an absolutely adorable girl...

Ah...this time for sure...even if it costs my life in the end...
I want to protect this child...to care for them...and to see their crying face...

I want to give you everything...the beautiful mornings...the splendid nights...
Any mother would wish for their child’s happiness-

From the pits of <despair>[darkness]...
I saw a slope leading towards <hope>[light]-
Clasping in my hands this singular wish of mine...
Almost like a curse...
I run up...

“This is...Hiashi Hiyama shrine?”

(Translated by Defade)

Route Selection

The listener is presented with Sakuya Himeko's thoughts on Isaka Nami's wish. Selecting an option will advance the listener to the next song based on what was chosen, and also determines the other song which will be heard.

Left Choice (The Breath of Atonement and <Flame>):
If you ask me, I don’t think being born is such a wonderful thing.
But I guess mothers really do want to give birth, huh?
Well, if you’ve steeled your [resolve], then that’s fine by me.
I’ll see it through.
What kind of <story leading towards the ending> can be found there?

Right Choice (Light that Shines Upon Darkness):
I don’t think that child will ever become happy in the truest sense if they were born at the cost of their mother’s life.
In fact, I don’t even want to see that happen.
If they were never born in the first place,
they wouldn’t get to enjoy anything,
but they would also never have to suffer.
Isn’t that the best kind of [happiness] there is?
