Intro Scene[]
Parrah:
Have you ever experienced a nightmare before?
Noya:
What was it like?
Parrah:
Falling for eternity?
Noya:
Haunted by evil spirits?
Parrah:
Whatever it was, I bet yo were relieved to wake up from it, huh?
Noya:
Or...
Perhaps you despaired waking up because reality itself is a nightmare?
Verse 1[]
My childhood memories are fragmented.
Born and raised in a desolate town in
a snow country I think I was always
plagued by chapped and aching limbs.
The house was small and poor
and I was always hungry.
But with my Papa, proud of his strength,
and Mama, who loves beauty and always cheerful,
the house was lively every day.
One day my modest life came to an abrupt end.
My parents were murdered.
※
Daize:
...?
Mama...
Papa...?
※
I found myself slumped over.
The walls, the floor, and even the top
of the building are stained bright red.
My father an mother had turned into
silent corpses and stared emptily at me.
Standing beside them was a man with an axe.
The man, blood splattered all over his body,
slowly reached out his hand toward me,
unable to move...
And then I lost consciousness.
Verse 2[]
When I woke up, I was in a strange place.
A man who appeared to be a doctor
came over and politely explained
that I had been asleep for a long time.
Mental burden seems to be the cause.
Holding my head in a daze,
I wonder what in the world was going on.
The next thing I know, he came rushing in...
"Daize, are you awake?"
It was that man with the axe.
※
Daize:
...Oh... right...
(I remember now... This person一)
(He killed Papa and Mama!)
※
I was so astonished that I could not
speak, but the doctor gently said to me.
"Good, your father's here."
Stunned by so many words,
the doctor left the room and
I was left alone with the man.
"I'm sorry I said you were my daughter.
The quickest way to get you to the hospital
was to explain we're father and daughter."
I got goosebumps when the man
speaks in a coaxing voice.
(Am I going to die now, too...?)
Verse 3[]
Cowering in fear, I desperately tried
to think of a way to through this.
To keep the man from killing me.
"...I don't remember anything."
Hearing those words out of the blue, the
man raised his eyebrows and then grinned.
"I see... That's unfortunate.
You must have a confusing memory
from losing your parents all at once.
Life won't be easy for you here on out.
So I have a suggestion, Daize.
What do you say to me adopting you?"
※
Barbarian:
You and I are alone in this world.
From now on we'll live together.
I'll take good care of you, Daize.
Daize:
(What is... this guy talking about?)
(Why did he take me in?)
※
At first I was confused but eventually I understood.
This man intends to keep a close watch on me
so that he will know immediately when I regain
the memory of my parents' murder.
(I'll get him back for it instead.)
I could just keep on pretending
that I have no memory of it.
Then over the years, I will gain the trust
of this man and become his beloved daughter.
Only to one day betray him and
kill him with my own two hands.
Killed by the one he loved and consider
his own. It would be an end that would
be accompanied by deep despair.
(I bet it'll be the best revenge ever.)
"That very nice of you, Mister. Thank you."
Verse 4[]
The man decided on a place to live
with me in a big city, far away
from that snowy country town.
The man found a job there and got it. I
was going to school, and I played the role
of a loving daughter, bright with good grades...
Until one year had passed.
I would avenge my parents.
At the cost of his life.
I've always thought so, but......
Lately, there has been a glimmer
of doubt in that thought.
He was such a lowly man.
※
Daize:
Mister, watch out!
Fire Orc:
Urk...! Hey, that hurt!
Crap! You broke my shoulder!
Barbarian:
I'm so sorry!!!
Fire Orc:
I'll have you pay for damages!
Barbarian:
I'm so sorry! I promise to pay up!
How much will it be?
Daize:
Wait, Mister...!
※
If he got into trouble on the street he'd exclaim,
"Please forgive me! It won't happen again!"
When his office would call about something,
he'd immediately offer up his wallet and cry,
"My apologies! I take full responsibility!"
He faced the wall begging on his knees
and to top it all off, at every opportunity
in that year he would apologize to me saying,
"I'm sorry you have a man like me as your father,"
like it was some sort of crime.
He's so feeble to a fault, the last
thing you would suspect he's a murderer...
Verse 5[]
And so eventually, three years had passed.
I acted on my best behavior and he was too
innocent I just couldn't take it anymore.
"Put your clothes in the laundry basket!"
"Sorry, I'll do that."
"Fold your clothes before putting them away!"
"Sorry, I'll be careful."
"Make your onw breakfast, for goodness sake!"
"I'll try tomorrow."
"You say that every day!"
He's so sloppy!
※
Barbarian:
Sorry you had to go through that, Daize.
Daize:
If you got time to apologize,
do something about that bed hair!
Barbarian:
Who cares what my hair looks like...
Daize:
Act like an adult!
And learn to fold your clothes properly!
Do you want to wear wrinkles?
Barbarian:
R-right... I'm sorry.
You act more grown up than me, Daize.
※
I give small complaints as I take care
of this man making a living slacking off.
I wake them up in the morning, make them
breakfast, fix their hair, and see them
off to work.
When I get home from school, I now do
laundry, cook dinner, and eat while
watching TV when he comes home...
He doesn't even look at me with
disgust at my petty complaints.
Always apologizing, thanking me,
and sometimes brings a cake home.
(This person killed my parents?
...You gotta be kidding me.)
Verse 6[]
Living with him at first was
like a living nightmare.
The sight of my dead parents and
a man stained with their blood
haunted me day after day.
I didn't know when he's see
through my lie and finally kill me.
The fear prevented me from sleeping.
But in the end, there was
nothing to be scared of.
This man... My foster papa
isn't a bad person.
I don't hate living with him either.
Maybe it was someone else
who killed my parents...
But then who was it?
※
Daize:
(He had a bloody axe in his hand.)
(So there's no doubt he's the one.)
(He killed Papa and Mama...)
(But now I'm not so sure anymore...)
Barbarian:
You okay, Daize?
Daize:
Huh?
Barbarian:
You're burning the meat.
Daize:
Gah!
※
Pensive, I hurriedly turned off the stove.
The meat I was cooking had charred
to a point it was inedible.
Despite not being wealthy enough
to waste any food.
"That's unusual for you to slip up."
"I'll eat this one. Don't worry."
I tried to stop him
but he ate my charred meat.
(It's bitter, but... better than raw.)
I don't care for undercooked food.
It makes me want to puke.
For some reason I felt terrible about it.
Verse 7[]
Just as my life with my parents had been,
my distorted but peaceful life with the
man came to an abrupt end one morning.
Early in the morning, a sheriff visited
our apartment who said to have come from
the snowy country town I was born and raised.
"I finally found you. You're under arrest for murder."
My foster papa was handcuffed.
Pale in the face, he was put in handcuffs.
Then the sheriff turned to me and said.
"And you girl. You're being taken in
for the same crime."
※
Daize:
I'm... being arrested for... the same crime?
I don't understand...
Barbarian:
...No! Daize hasn't done anything wrong!
Daize:
Mister...?
Barbarian:
It was me! I'm the one to blame!
Daize is innocent! Run, Daize!
Sheriff:
What are you一?!
Barbarian:
Get outta here while I hold him down!
Daize:
...?
※
As if the officer's voice had
drove me away, I took off running.
Driven by an unexplainable fear,
I didn't once stop to look back.
As I passed through the town and into
the forest, I has spent all my strength.
I collapsed, and in front of me
appeared a... wolf.
I threw my hands up involuntarily
as the drooling beast attacked.
Just then, a mysterious force
gushed from my hands lifting the beast,
and slicing it in half.
I was quickly appalled at the sight
of the wolf's carcass.
Verse 8[]
My head was heavy with fatigue and
confusion, I couldn't manage to think.
(They arrested him...)
(But why did they want me, too?)
(What was that power just now?)
(How am I supposed to survive on my own?)
(What now...?)
If I go back, I'll surely be caught.
I could just live in the forest...
(There's fruit and mushrooms...
and meat, so I should be okay.)
Fearfully, I put my face close to
the wolf's dead body and bit into
the flesh, dripping with blood.
At that moment, with intense nausea,
everything came back to me.
※
Papa:
What the hell are you lookin' at?!
Daize:
(It hurts, Stop it. Papa.)
Mama:
What? Your hands are cold?
Quit your whining and get back to cleaning!
Daize:
(But, Mama. My hands and feet feel like ice)
Papa:
No one wants to hear you crying, hyena!
Daize:
(Stop it. Don't call me that. I have a name.)
Mama:
You can chew on this, hyena!
Daize:
(No... I hate this kind of food!)
※
I was abused by my parents.
My papa was violet and constantly
beat me, while mama screeched at me,
forcing me to do all the chores.
They called me hyena and fed me
the carcasses of animals they
killed in the forest and mountains.
All the adults around me pretended
to ignore me, except for one big man
in the neighborhood who cheered me up
and gave me blankets and food when I
was locked out of the house.
Some time after that, this strange
power awakened inside me.
I could move things without using my hands.
Verse 9[]
This new power gradually became
stronger and stronger.
First it was just moving objects,
but I eventually learned how to levitate,
apply pressure, and break things...
Until that fateful day.
"I wish I never gave birth to you, filthy hyena!"
My mama screamed and flung a kitchen knife at me.
I threw my hands out to protect me, but...
My power sent it back at her, killing her.
My papa's eyes fumed with anger
as he saw the entire thing.
※
Papa:
Be grateful I raised you!
Daize:
(I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!)
Papa:
Murdering parents results in death!
Daize:
(Papa, it hurts. I'm sorry.)
(It's painful, but...)
(I don't want to kill anymore.)
Papa:
I'll kill you myself right now!
Daize:
(It's best that I die...)
Barbarian:
STOP IT!!!
※
Mama, covered in blood.
Papa, who beats me when I'm defenseless.
It was then that kind grown-up
from the neighborhood jumped in.
Papa was angrier than ever.
The man stood shaking
but that was determined to protect me.
But Papa pushed him away and
clenched his hands around my throat...
The man hollered and swung
an axe at Papa's head.
All to protect me.
Verse 10[]
I killed Mama.
He killed Papa.
Both of us committed a murder.
He willingly took half of my sins.
Did he only adopt me as
responsibility for killing my papa?
He could have just abandoned me.
I remember everything.
He took half of my sins,
and called my by my name, Daize.
I have to thank him.
※
Judge:
The accused's tactics are atrocious!
Just look at the manner he kidnapped his accomplice!
We cannot allow these kinds of dangerous people to live!
We will proceed to the execution!
Daize:
No! You can't do this!
Judge:
What the一?!
Daize:
I'm here to save you, Mister!
Barbarian:
Daize...?!
※
I held up my hands and directed my
power towards the man being dragged
to the gallows.
In a flash, his body was lift up into
the air and softly landed in front of me.
"Daize! Why didn't you run?!
You're innocent! Get out of here!"
"It's okay now. I remember everything."
His expression distorted at my words
as if he wish I didn't.
I reached my hand out to him.
"Let's get out of here, Papa."
"Daize..."
I held his hand tightly as we cried,
and together we escaped.
On a narrow, snowy road,
as far as the eye can see.
Ending Scene[]
Parrah:
I wonder at what point did her reality twist into the nightmare she saw?
Noya:
And when did that nightmare end?
Parrah:
For all we know, she may still be trapped within that nightmare.
Noya:
The least we can hope for is for the terror to end when the pair escapes.
