"Power. Big, international, non-diplomatic, projected power is something else. It lends you more might, but it doesn't have the utilities of strength. It lays eggs in you. It becomes a parasite you have to feed. Power does nothing but eat."

By the fallen ruins of an ancient manor, seated at the foot of a clear river, surrounded by abandoned villages, there was a grave.


A grave whose stone was not made of cement, or any other crude material, which was most often used in the days of old.


It was a fine grave, the tombstone was crafted seemingly by a master; its material consisting of Rose Quartz.


Red spider lilies had sprung up all around it.


It was a place carefully cared for, despite never having held the body of the deceased, whose name was carved almost gently, into the stone's forefront.


And beneath it, a phrase could be read:


私たちが分かち合った愛




Yes, there was a grave, by the curve of the river, untouched despite the years which passed.


A grave which was built beside a large old manor.


A grave which was empty, without a body.

"However we try to struggle, in the end, against time, it may all prove to be in vain."


"Power comes with its price."
