ENJA

When the twins were born, I was miserable knowing that they were doomed.

They were raised freely, without pain or sadness.

They say the pain of the ✻ never stops.

The elder sister must kill the younger in the Crimson Sacrifice Ritual.

It's a cruel horrible fate.

Translation note
The first line of this note contains a mistranslation; Ryokan is actually referring to his wife, the twins' mother. He also states that she threw herself into the Hellish Abyss because she could not accept the twins' fate. This section was correctly translated in Deep Crimson Butterfly and Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake.

双子を産みしのち、あれは心を病みて
自ら✕へ身をなげた。
その後、八重と紗重にはできるかぎり
不自由させぬようそだててきた。
寂しさを感じさせぬように。

✕は苦痛をくらいてやすむると言われる。
姉が妹を殺める紅贄の儀式。

むごいようだが、仕方があるまい。
