There is a 0.1% chance of receiving the death ending version of this song. Once the song finishes, the listener is presented with a choice which will determine the next sequence of songs (with the exception of the memory song, which is random).

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.

Yakumo Prefecture, SugiuraRedacted for privacy reasons, woooooooof!

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?”

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

Yurusarezaru... yoru no [KARUMA] ga...
Kanashii yume wo... ima demo miseru...
Ashi no kobune ni noseta waga ko ga
Kurai yami no kanata e nagarete kieru yume

Orokana haha no... negai wa awa no you ni...
Hakanaku... tsuie tsuzuketa...
Yue ni... ichido wa tomotta...
Sono hi wo todomeru you ni...
[Hiruko]... nazuketa imi mo munashiku...

Mama... ikiteireba kitto... imagoro kawaii...
Sutekina onna no ko ni... natteita no deshou ne...

Aa... kondo koso... kono ko koso... kono inochi ni kaetemo...
Mamoritai... haguku mitai... nakigao wo mitai...

Utsukushii asa... subarashii yoru... subete ANATA ni mo agetai...
Shiawa[se] wo... negawanai... hahaoya wa inai—

[Yami] no soko kara miageta...
[HIKARI] e to tsuranaru sakamichi wo...
Noroi ni sae nita...
Yuiitsu no negai wo...
Ryoute de dakishimete...

Kakeagaru

("Haa... koko ga... Hiashi Hiyama jinja")
