I had that dream again.

The one where I swing that knife down on a girl in a ceremony.

Before I bring down the knife our eyes meet. When they do, I feel a jolt of fear like she's seen into my soul. The girl then falls into a box.

Did it really happen?

If it was real, then what happened to that girl?

When I woke up, my pulse was pounding. I am beset with overwhelming regret, pain, and sadness.

The ceremony must be from that summer when I was a boy, when I stayed with the Aso family on Mt. Kagiroi.

I'd play with the local children all over the place, even on the grounds of Kagiroi Shrine until the sun set. I think that's when it must have started.

I've been thinking about going back to Mt. Kagiroi for some time now.

But, I'm scared of learning the truth about that dream.

I hear it's all been demolished. Maybe there's nothing left to tell me if it's a dream or not.

また、あの夢を見た。

祭のさなか、少女に近づいて
刀を振り下ろす夢。

振り下ろす前に、少女と目が合う。
その時に、心の奥まで見られたような恐怖に
駆られ、わけもわからず刀を振り下ろした。

そして、少女は箱の中に落ちていく。


あの夢は本当のことだったのだろうか。

本当のことだったとしたら、あの少女は
どうなっているのだろうか。

夢から醒めた後、動機が激しくなっている。
激しい後悔の念に襲われ、
苦しくも悲しい気持ちになる。


あの祭は、陽炎山の祭だと思う。
子供の頃は夏の間だけ、鳴滝の向こう、
陽炎山の麓の麻生家の分家で過ごした。

近所の子と、広い母屋や古い物が
並んでいる蔵、そして陽炎神社の
境内で夕暮れまで遊んだものだ。

あの頃からだと思う。


いつか、陽炎山に行こうと思いながら
ずいぶん時間が経ってしまった。

何もよりも、あの夢が現実なのか
わかるのが怖い。

今は、分家は取り壊され、母屋も蔵も
無くなっているという。
あの夢が本当かどうか、わかる物は
何も残ってないのかもしれない。
