I've been away from this island for a long time, but nothing has changed.
It's like time has stopped here...
Sakuya doesn't change, either. She's still young at heart.
When she's calm, I think she's even more clear and pure than before.
Or maybe I've just been moving forward for so long that I've left her behind...
As Father would say, I have no choice.
Seeing her like this, I'm not even sure whether she'll last until the day of the kagura.
If the cause of her onset was that she served as the last Utsuwa, then to do it again... We have no choice but to put our faith in the Rite of Descent.
The current kagura is nothing more than a tourist spectacle.
We must restore its most primitive form. We must resurrect the Kiraigou.
...I hear the nurse yelling in the other room. One of the girls is crying.
I guess Ayako did something to her, again.
Father says Ayako is a lot like me in that she tends to take things too far.
...Interesting.
At least she knows how to have fun. It's amusing to see how she handles her "toys".
If you want to survive on a musty island where time has stopped, having a little "fun" is essential.

久しぶりに島に帰ってきたが、
なにも変わらない。
⋯この島は、時間が止まっているかのようだ。
姉さんも、変わらない。
幼い少女のままだ。
穏やかな時の姉さんは、
前よりももっと透明に、
純粋になっていっている気さえする。
俺が姉さんを置いてどんどん先に
すすんでいるだけのかもしれないな⋯
やはり親父が言うように、
選択の余地はない。
姉さんの症状を見ると、
神楽の日まで持つか
どうかもわからない。
姉さんが発病した原因が、
かつて器をつとめたことにあるなら、
もう一度神楽をやることに
⋯帰来迎に懸けるしかない。
今の観光化した神楽ではダメだ。
最も原初的な神楽、
帰来迎を復活させなければ⋯
⋯また部屋の向こうから
看護婦の怒鳴り声が聞こえる。
女の子が一人泣いている。
亞夜子が、また何かしでかしたみたいだ。
親父の話では、亞夜子は俺に似たのか
悪戯が過ぎるらしい。
⋯面白い。
亞夜子は楽しみ方を知っている。
「おもちゃ」の扱い方も面白い。
この時間が止まった古臭い島で
まともに生きていくには
「楽しむ」のは重要な事だ。
