To glance into someone is to take on their thoughts, their secrets.
The weak do so with a touch; while the strong can do it with a look, a true glance.
Howsoever it is done, the result shall be the same.
This power is of the Netherworld.
By drenching oneself in the mountain's waters, the heart melts, and joins with the water, strengthening the one who glances.
Getting closer to death also brings strength, allowing one to take on more thoughts, more secrets.
Strong thoughts make for stronger Pillars.
The thoughts are sealed with the Pillar inside the reliquary.
To open the box and let these thoughts overflow is to invite disaster, and is forbidden.

看取りとは
人の想いと感情を引き受ける力
力の弱き巫女は触れることで
力の強き巫女は見ることで
その者の想いと感情を引き受ける
看取りは隠世の力
山の水に濡れ、水に心を融かし
水の一部となることで
その力はより強められる
死に近づくことでも力は強まり
すべてがわかるようになる
看取りし想いが強いほど
巫女は強き柱となる
引き受けた想いは柱と共に
匪に封印される
蓋が開き想いが漏れ出すことは
災厄をよぶ禁忌である
