随后，她们坠入了前所未有的甜美梦乡。<br><br>……<br><br>无数故事迎来终点，又有无数故事如歌谣般继续流转。但其中，永远有那么一些歌谣无人翻阅，<br>无人吟唱……它们与时代一同尘封在了无声的记忆中。<br> | |||
---- | |||
记忆……<br>永不偏颇的存在——无论美好还是破碎，归属一人还是千人，都恰如其分地在时间的长河中留下烙印。<br>纯良也好，悲惨也罢，一些事纵然会令无数人惊叹，但就算无人问津也无妨，记忆会捕捉一切。<br><br>而那些无人问津的过去最终会褪色、淡去，成为以太。<br><br>那些被遗忘的自然不再重要，不是吗？有什么必要记住失势和苦痛？有什么必要记住已逝的美好？<br>它们都已成为往事。<br><br>寻求答案固然重要，只是……<br><br>时间的年轮并不会为你的思考而停下脚步。<br><br>在你思考的时候，做出回答的时候，时间之书在不停地书写，其中的档案在不停地增加…… | |||
---- | |||
于某个瞬间，某个地点，回忆的档案开始将它们织成丝线，而于万千丝线之中：<br><br>命运的丝线牵引着的，是两位少女的灵魂。<br><br>这通透无色的丝线闪闪发光，未曾受到过伤害，理想地恰如其分：<br><br>只因它们是关于光明和纷争的丝线。}} | |||

—And after, they slept.<br><br>...<br><br>A million stories come to an end, and a million stories go on, retold. Yet there are "tales" in between <br>that go unwritten and thus unheard. They pass on, unspoken.<br><br>They pass into memory. | |||
---- | |||
Memory...<br><br>For better or worse, memory will not discriminate. A moment in the mind of one, or a moment shared <br>by many, will take shape unspoiled. However innocuous, however tragic, however wonderful, a <br>memory will capture it, though it may never be put to record.<br><br>And when unrecorded, what has passed into memory will inevitably fade into ether.<br><br>You might think that something forgotten can't have any importance. Perhaps that's true. Why <br>remember a fall? Why remember sorrow? Why remember some sweet taste?<br><br>And certainly, the answers to those questions do matter...<br><br>...but time does not slow while they're being asked.<br><br>As they're asked, as they are considered, an archive ceaselessly grows... | |||
---- | |||
Some where and when...<br><br>The Archive of Memory begins to spool thread:<br><br>threads of fate, tugging along two lives.<br><br>Shining, colorless—the unspoiled ideal:<br><br>threads of light and conflict.}} | |||

一家咖啡馆内，一名年轻女孩倚着窗坐着，四下静寂：早在开门营业之前她便来到这里。<br>她的杯中升起热腾腾的蒸汽，模糊了她身旁的玻璃……这是一个寒冷的早晨。<br><br>捕捉，记录。<br><br>孤身一人，男人拔出了腰间的佩剑。他面前的村庄早已化作一片火海，<br>他身后放火点燃村庄的劫犯仰天狞笑着。知道自己必死无疑，男人转身，举起了剑——<br><br>缝织，交错。<br><br>有着奇形怪状的耳朵的朋友们在元素论课上哄堂大笑——一位同学利用光亮与火焰合成了一幅动画，<br>让大家在一起重温了另一位朋友的糗事……<br><br>凝结，定格。<br><br>除此之外，还有很多很多东西被归档，被定格。<br>世世代代人，千千万万事……<br> | |||

无数回忆的碎片划过永昼的日空。<br><br>如斑驳的风，破碎的雨，于空中悬吊。<br><br>陈旧的念想与过去的时光遵循着无名的法则流动——或许这“舞蹈”毫无意义：有时，它们甚至完全静止。<br>它们或动或静，飘忽不定，但无论如何，玻璃即是唯一可定义此处的存在。<br><br>云则是天空中唯一的存在：绵软软的云层之上，光束倾泻着，填满一切缝隙，不予阴影现身的机会。<br>有时，它迸发出的力量是令人惊奇的——那么明亮，那么刺眼，像一抹豪横的笑。<br><br>而脚下的无垠大地则往往是空洞的，有些地方布满一排排的建筑，其中零星散落着几桩歪斜的石碑：<br>在时间的长河中，它们一直如此。<br><br>无色的石碑一如无色的大地，为何它们伫立于此？ | |||
---- | |||
那是因为，这是片属于记忆的土地。这个理由足够了，不是吗？<br><br>这片大地接纳了你流下的泪水，见证了你和她携手同行的日子……<br><br>你一定还记得吧。<br><br>不过，即使你不再记得，这些堡垒高垣也并不能帮你回忆过去。<br><br>这些建筑，这一切的一切，都无法作证——从来便没有什么诗与远方。<br>当然，这一切的确是有意义的，但也仅仅是有意义而已，并没有什么更深层次的东西了。<br><br>它们存在的目的，仅仅是存在本身。<br><br>初级、简单的存在，用以满足你最原始的思考和感受需求。}} | |||

A young girl sits in a café, let in hours before business, slouching in the quiet. The steam from her cup <br>rises and fogs the glass beside her. A cold morning—<br><br>Captured.<br><br>A lone man draws his sword. Before him, a town burns. Behind, the marauders that have razed it look <br>on the man, laughing. Knowing he will die, the man turns, and raises the blade—<br><br>Sewn in.<br><br>Friends with ears of cats and dogs laugh uproariously as one of their number, a student of Elementum, <br>entwines light and fire to display a comic scene. To display a memory of another friend's folly—<br><br>Crystallized.<br><br>And countless others are crystallized. Hundreds, thousands— | |||
---- | |||
Thousands of glass memories fly through a sky of endless day.<br><br>Flickering winds, fragmented streams—suspended in the air.<br><br>These flows of old thought and moments move in accordance with unknown laws. Or, perhaps, it is <br>merely all a senseless dance. Some, granted, do not flow at all—they stay in place or float along, <br>separate or within crowds of others. Whether they flow or remain still, "glass" defines this place.<br><br>Clouds alone have the sky. The light above them fills every soft fold, leaving hardly a shadow below. It <br>is sometimes blinding, like an overbearing smile...<br><br>Below, the lands are often clear, empty. Just as often, the lands are filled with endless rows of structures <br>and scattered monuments.<br><br>Colorless monuments, like the colorless lands. Wherefore do they stand? | |||
---- | |||
Because "place" is inseparable from memory. That's it, no?<br><br>Where your tears have fallen, where you've held another's hand...<br><br>Surely you can remember.<br><br>Although, even should you... these towers and walls, these buildings and castles don't stand only as <br>memorials or testaments.<br><br>This, all of this, is no testament. It is not poetic. It is meaningful, but not of higher meaning.<br><br>Its purpose lies at the core of being...<br><br>It's something simple, and needed, for thinking and feeling things.}} | |||

新的故事已经开篇：又一个故事，两个女孩的故事，如何活下去的故事。<br><br>没人能教会你如何去好好生活，只有生活本身可以。<br><br>有时，它是那么美好；<br>有时，它又是那么令人战栗。<br><br>这是两个女孩共享的情感和经历。<br><br>你是否曾为万物的美丽而流泪？<br><br>毫无疑问你已在为这世间的一切不平而哭泣了。<br><br>当你再度睁开眼面对这一切，你是否还会在乎？<br>还是只是满足于苟且活着？<br><br>这个世界又是否会允许你感到满足？ | |||

想要感到开心并不是罪过。<br><br>空中漂浮着的记忆碎片，有美好的，也有悲怮的，分别落于两位女孩的身旁……<br><br>新的故事即将开篇，你们的丝线在未来将如何交织？<br><br>周围都是你的倒影，你的头顶，你的身旁——<br><br>无数条世界线的倒影，倒映着的不是可能性，而是确定性——它们都是实实在在发生过的过去。<br><br>站好了，好好地看看它们。然后问自己：<br><br>你想以什么样的姿态活着？ | |||

远处传来一声巨响，它的回声不绝于耳。随后，万物归于沉寂。<br><br>随后，她们坠入了前所未有的甜美梦乡。<br><br>沉静而又安详——一个女孩倚在墙边，另一个女孩靠在废墟的塔楼之下。<br><br>好吧，现在她们睡得没那么安稳了。<br><br>罕见地，白发女孩倚着的断墙上落下了几点阴影，斜洒在她身上。<br><br>黑发女孩则完全暴露在光亮之中，它们肆意摊开于女孩的裙摆上……<br><br>随后，她们睁开了眼。 | |||
---- | |||
……<br><br>你知道吗？此段记忆，此篇关于光明与纷争的故事……<br><br>……以一粒装满了感情的种子被埋进土中为始。<br><br>然后，在被珍视和被唾弃的回忆的共同滋养下开始生根发芽。<br><br>再然后，它便茁壮成长，执拗地想去到更高的地方，一如这执拗的时间。<br><br>随着她们醒来，命运的齿轮也开始转动——一个被祝福的女孩的的命运和一个被诅咒的女孩的命运开始编织。<br><br>随后，一切便又遗忘于历史的长河之中。}} | |||

One more story, a story of two, is told: that of how to be alive.<br><br>There is no guide to living—only life itself:<br><br>life as a gorgeous thing, life as a gruesome thing...<br><br>This, they share.<br><br>Have you ever felt the need to cry from the beauty of something?<br><br>There is no doubt that you've cried over the unfairness of everything.<br><br>When you open your eyes, will you care at all? Or will you be content only to live?<br><br>Will the world ever allow you to be content? | |||
---- | |||
There is no shame in wanting to feel happy.<br><br>The fragments of memory in the air—both joyous and wretched—drift toward you hopeful two...<br><br>A story will begin, but it isn't clear how your threads will be spun...<br><br>Reflections from above—reflections surround you—<br><br>They are reflections of infinite worlds—not possibilities, but certainties which have already transpired.<br><br>Stand. Watch them. Ask yourself after seeing them:<br><br>How will you be alive? | |||
---- | |||
A snap in the distance. A sound echoing throughout, and beyond, everything—<br><br>And after, they slept.<br><br>Silently, they sleep: one against a crumbled wall, one against a ruined tower.<br><br>Asleep... but each is stirring now.<br><br>A girl in white basked in a rare shadow from the shifted wall she rests beside...<br><br>A girl in black bathed in light to spite her...<br><br>The girls each begin to open their eyes. | |||
---- | |||
...<br><br>This memory, this story of light and conflict... Did you know?<br><br>...It begins from seeds of feeling—<br><br>It lives upon memories, both cherished and despised—<br><br>...And it marches on, as stubborn as time.<br><br>With eyes open, the twisted fates of a figure blessed and a figure damned begin to be woven.<br><br>And after, it is all forgotten.}} | |||

She was the second born under starlight.<br><br>To many of those come to Arcaea, the world once white also appeared as a world of endless day. But, <br>in time, night fell. A border between day and night formed. On the darkened side of the border, two <br>new lives drifted down to the earth like fallen stars. She was the second, and in her very form she <br>showed herself to be a mirror to the first. | |||

A dark and purple-dotted sky, a cloudless firmament, a night with no moons...<br><br>Maya woke to all this through a blurred view. Her eyes were full of tears. When she could think, <br>when she could feel, she became overwhelmed by grief and she sobbed into her hands.<br><br>When one comes to this world of glass, they are made anew—<br>given "nothing" as a blessing, as a kindness.<br><br>But this place, found after the end, is broken—<br>in ways it tries to be perfect, but it is a broken place to its core.<br><br>She was born, it seemed, with everything.}} | |||

她 其实并不排斥黑暗 。 在死寂之中 ，她 反而 感到自 在 。<br><br> 黑暗中偶尔会有从周遭的碎片折射出来的光束一闪而过，但在 她 眼里，这些都是丑陋 无 比 的东西，<br>只会令她的双眼 感 到刺痛及不快 。 每当附近的废墟发出什么东西坍塌或者破碎的声音，<br> 不论是微小细碎的摩擦声，还是大地浑厚低沉的颤动，<br>她都 感觉 无 比刺耳，好似尖锐的风声一般 在 耳边不断嘶吼，愈演愈烈 。<br><br>若有什么夺走了 她 所喜爱 的 夜晚与宁静，回忆 的 摇篮也会将她托举 。<br> 即使她不属于 这 个世界 ， 世界也对 她无 比怜爱 。 | |||

这名奇特的少女嗜睡又爱哭 ， 她异色 的 头发与双眸使她特别 。<br><br>Arcaea怜悯她，但很可惜，她并不怎么待见这些喜爱 她的 碎片 。<br><br>她惧怕 这些 亮闪闪的东西，因为 她 喜欢无尽黑夜 的 宁静与深沉 。 对以四海为家的她来说，高天即 是她的 穹顶 ，<br>但那时的她迫切需要一个“藏身之处”：碎片 不 断地从四面八方涌来，从未消停， 她 实在是不堪其扰了 。<br> 断壁残垣中，摩耶享受着片刻的喘息时间，并借此机会试图了解自身所在的洞窟——这已成为了她的习惯，<br> 那就是熟悉这世界上每一个收留过 她 的洞穴 的情 况 。 其实即便如此，碎片也无处不在 ，<br> 只是相对来说好忍受一些：没有了天空的广袤，碎片 并 不能折射多少光线，<br>而且 她 本就不能也不愿去知道碎片里有什么 东西。<br>她不惜跋山涉水去寻找宁静，为了远离纷扰，再高的山她也敢翻越，再黑的路 她也 敢踏足 。<br><br>她 就这样走啊走，走啊 走 ……直到有一日 走 出一条昏暗甬道的时候，<br> 她 终于看到了不远处的那一条光与影 的 边界 。她 停下了脚步 。 | |||

She actually welcomed the dark, and felt at ease within silence.<br><br>Whenever a rare ray bounced from the glass fragments surrounding her, instead it seemed to her like <br>sudden intense light in horrible colors had bombarded her vision. If a nearby ruin creaked or fell apart, <br>the resulting sounds seemed more like a cacophony of wretched noise accosting her ears: lighter scraping, <br>and the heavier, guttural, almost primordial groans from the earth; with a noise all throughout like <br>high-pitched wind, rising and rising—<br><br>If anything broke the shadow and quietness of the night, memory would accost her. And while she <br>did not belong here, she was nonetheless pitied. | |||
---- | ---- | ||
This unusual girl with two-toned hair and eyes—<br>This strange girl who would often sleep, yet still cry—<br><br>Arcaea pitied her. Unfortunately, she quickly grew to fear its glass.<br><br>Shards met with her often enough under the open sky that—although she liked the calm and stillness of <br>the endless night—she began to seek shelter.<br>Maya rested within the fractured shells of buildings, and made herself familiar with any cave in this world <br>she might find. Glass was always there too, yes, but without a clear view of the sky it reflected very little. <br>And besides...she could not—and would not—peer within. She would travel through mountains, only <br>seeking peace. She would step through pitch-dark tunnels following forgotten roads.<br><br>Until she stepped out of a shadowed hall one day, and her eyes caught sight of the daylight border, <br>so very near. | |||

实际上……<br><br> 她听到的那些声音是人们歇斯底里的尖叫，而她所看到的那些景象便是罪魁祸首。<br>明亮的光柱自天而降，撕裂了大地：她的家园毁灭了。她多么希望那痛苦只需持续几秒钟，<br> 但实际上，那是一次长达数小时的折磨。太痛苦了，好痛，好痛……<br><br> 她认得世界另一端的那些人，明白他们应该都是已死之人。她听见有人在命令她，<br> 令她僵在原地，但那声音很快便消散了。她与那个已逝世界的一切连接、一切羁绊，<br> 都在那场缓慢且无情的灾难中化为乌有。她失去了一切，随后才在Arcaea中醒来，仍是孤单一人。<br><br> 放眼望去，这个世界远处的地平线朱红一片，似夕阳，更似火海。 | |||

终于，在无数幻听和幻觉的折磨下，摩耶跪倒在甬道的出口。尖锐的疼痛如利刃穿过心脏，令她痛哭，<br> 令她哀嚎，令她反胃。难以忍受的恐慌一波接一波冲击着她的心智，没完没了，<br> 而其中最令她不堪回首的更是如巨石般压得她喘不过气来。<br> 那令她生不如死的可悲的事实一遍又一遍地提醒着她：<br><br> “我还在这里。”<br><br> 她的痛苦，她的哀怮，无声但震耳欲聋。<br>Arcaea听见了一切。 | |||

In fact...<br><br>Those sounds she heard were screams.<br>Those sights she saw were the cause.<br>Bright light fell from the sky in violent pillars, tearing at the earth. Her home became ravaged in what she'd <br>hoped would be seconds, but instead it had been a nightmare of hours. Agonizing, she had—she had...<br><br>She knew people on the other side of the earth, and heard they were dead. She froze under commands <br>from soon-lost voices. An entire connection she shared with an entire world was lost over a slow, <br>thorough, and merciless course. And, with it all gone, she had woken up here—alone in Arcaea.<br><br>And the horizon before her now was like sunset, or—it was like a world on fire. | |||
---- | ---- | ||
Maya crumpled alone at a tunnel's exit, hearing and seeing things that weren't there. She shivered and <br>cried, feeling as if a spike was driving through her heart. Through horrid pain, nausea too began to plague <br>her. Horror after horror, all of it impossible to bear, and one thought worse than all others weighed on her <br>mind like an anchor. One truth that seemed ready to almost kill her:<br><br>"I am still here."<br><br>And her pain, and her heartache, it all cried out beyond her voice.<br>Arcaea would hear all of it. | |||

她现正处于一个边缘，坐在光与影的交界处。脑内的声音仍没有停止，撕扯 着 她 的 鼓膜，叫嚣着。<br>她 的 双眼无神地盯着远处，乞求自己不再需要思考 。<br><br> 太迟了，错误已经犯下 ， 悲剧已经酿成。造成 的 再多痛苦和损失 ， 也都成为 了 历史 。<br> 时光无法倒流，过去无法改变。但……真的什么都做不到吗？可否拭去 她 的泪痕 ， 抚平她的伤疤？<br> 一 片碎片自上空飘落 ， 缓缓来到她 的 身边 。 两片、三片……越来越多，如细雨般，<br> 最终形成了 一 个茧房般的屏障，将 她 隔绝于阳光之外 。 | |||

让她喧闹的想法平静下来？<br> 不，不行。<br> 分散她 的 注意力？抑或是好好哄哄她？<br> 她的 注意力已经很涣散 了。<br> 怎么办？该怎么办 ……<br><br>碎片一反常态地暗 了 下来，由它们组成的屏障像细腻柔软的布料开始朝下折叠 ， 直到将 她完全 包住 。<br> 真是令人哭笑不得啊，怎么会有玻璃觉得自己是柔软的呢。但奇怪的是，摩耶抬起了头。<br> 尽管畏缩了一下，她最终还是抬起了头…… 她 看到 了 碎片中的那些东西：记忆 。 | |||
---- | |||
碎片中承载的那些记忆 的 主角都另有其人 ， 她看到 了 所承载 的 那些悲伤 和 苦痛，<br> 看到了人们所犯下的那些错误。Arcaea没有其他能给 她 看的回忆了 ， 而 她 就 这样 静静地看着……<br><br> 没有血流成河 ， 没有刀山火海 ， 也没有枪林弹雨 。<br><br>只 有 痛苦、孤独而又无助 的 人们，无依无靠，无人可以诉说 ， 更无从谈起抚慰 。<br>是 啊，孤独这样 的 绝症 ， 又怎会 有 药可医？ | |||

她思索 着 。 她 看到 了 形形色 色的 人，男女老少 ，无 一不是泪流满面 。<br>她 看见了那些大限将至 的 人们，无力 地 笑着 ， 手中还攥着早已褪色 的 相片 。<br><br> 这便 是这个世界 想要向她传达 的 ：<br> 你觉得自己再也不会感到开心了。你觉得不如就此放弃 。<br> 但何必要如此呢？<br><br> 过去确已过去，它 的 烙印并不会消失 ， 不过有一些、甚至说大部分“烙印” ，<br> 其实是你自己给自己上 的 枷锁 。 你不是还活 着 吗？那个世界的确毁灭了，但你仍在这里 。 | |||

She sits now at a precipice. Outside, she sits between darkness and light. Inside, a tone blares through <br>her ears as she stares wide-eyed and wanting, wishing to no longer think.<br><br>It is too late now. These made mistakes are set and done. The suffering caused, the damage caused—it is <br>all finished. The past cannot be reset. But can something be done to heal? Can anything, anything at all, <br>be done for a crying girl? A single piece of glass drifts down from above. Another. Another. A slow rain of <br>glass falls, until it is a solid wall before and around her, blocking the unseen sun. | |||
---- | ---- | ||
Take her mind away?<br>No, it can't be done.<br>Distract her, coax her?<br>She is too distracted by herself.<br>What to do for her? What to do, what to do...<br><br>The glass uncharacteristically dims. Parts of its shard wall fold down almost like fabric with innumerable <br>parts until she is covered. What a silly thing—for glass to think itself soft. But, odd...But, still: Maya flinches <br>once, and she lifts her head. She finds memory in these shards. | |||
---- | ---- | ||
These shards hold memories of others. She finds memories of sorrow, of hurting, and of humans' faults. <br>It is all that Arcaea can show to her, and she watches...<br><br>...not bloodshed, not battle, not war...<br><br>...but people alone in their pain, nobody there to share it or understand.<br>What can one do when they know they are alone? | |||
---- | ---- | ||
She thinks. She sees men and women, girls and boys, all crying. She sees people near the end, with faded <br>photographs in their hands and faint smiles on their faces.<br><br>That is the message from this world to her.<br>You may feel you will never smile again. You may feel you want to quit.<br>But what is the point in that?<br><br>The past is behind you, but it has left marks upon you that you cannot erase. Some, perhaps many, are <br>marks that you left there yourself. But you are still here. A world is gone, and you are still here. | |||

她 | 她 的眼神变得锐利，怒视着面前那块用碎片组成的屏障 ， 碎片中的景象正随着碎片的移动而更替：<br>Arcaea发觉她心境的变化 后 也随之改变 了 。现 在， 阴郁或温婉的情绪都被抛掷一旁……<br><br> 碎片之海荡起了涟漪 ， 仿佛受 到了 冲击般不再光滑平坦 。 摩耶看着那些记忆——<br><br> 那是 一个 男人 ， 正 在 镜 中 回望自己，他 的 眼前一片漆黑 。<br> 那 是一个 女人，站 在 夜晚的海边，双脚浸入不断拍打 着 她的水中 。她 盯着手中 的 项链看了好一会儿，<br> 最后将它一掷 ， 扔进了海 中。<br> 那是一个孩子 ， 身着黑色 的西 装 ， 她 的 姐姐正准备挽 起她的 手 ， 却被不耐烦地 一 巴掌拍开 。<br><br> 摩耶笑了。那 是 一抹无声却纵情 的 笑容 。<br>这些 碎片好似在试图与 她 共鸣般，想想 就 觉得可悲 。 | ||

这些碎片确实在与 她 共鸣 。<br><br>这 些尝试 ，这些 举动……<br> 她真想狠狠朝它们啐 一 口唾沫 。<br><br> 随着 她 破碎而扭曲的心愈发破碎 ， 碎片所感知到 的她的 痛苦也越来越强烈 ，<br>并 开始一片片翻转 ， 向 她 聚集、靠拢——<br><br> 越来越多 ， 越来越亮……<br> …… 它 们开始像她展示那些人 的 生活 是 如何一步步分崩离析 的。 | |||

他人的苦难、愚蠢和失败一闪而 过， 将 她的 心紧紧攥住 。<br> 她 的 世界毁于一旦，这份 属于 自己的回忆让 她 更加苦不堪言 。<br> 碎片毒藤般爬上 她的 肢体 ， 蔓 延 、弯折、扭曲，像不怀好意的铁链将她死死缠绕并不断收紧 ，<br> 直至那尖锐的枝条终于抵着 她 脆弱的脖颈 。<br><br> 但 她 只是嗤 笑 着 。<br><br> 那颗在不断跳动的虚弱的心脏 ……<br> 根本就不是她的 。 | |||

"'Stay'...?"<br><br>A whisper for a whisper. Her voice cracks with this: her first word within Arcaea. Through a stinging, dry <br>throat, she repeats half of what she heard.<br><br>She bites down and grimaces.<br>She drags teeth against teeth.<br><br>Her response to the care the world has shown her...<br><br>...is resentment. | |||
{{collapse|标题颜色=#e7e7e7|内容颜色=#f7f7f7|标题= | ---- | ||
She sharpens her gaze, peering more closely into the mirrored wall before her. The images shift as the <br>glass moves. Shards of Arcaea find her new glare and present themselves. Moods somber or gentle are <br>all pushed aside...<br><br>The sheet of glass ripples as if struck. Maya watches memories—<br><br> —of a man looking back at himself in a mirror with darkness beneath his eyes.<br> —of a woman standing at a shore at night, her feet dipped into lapping, shallow water. She stares at a <br>necklace in her hand for some time, then eventually holds it out before her and drops it into the sea.<br> —of a young child dressed in a small black suit. Her sister reaches for her hand, only for it to be struck away.<br><br>Maya smiles. She laughs, quietly.<br>It's as if these shards are resonating with her—and how terrible if they are. | |||
---- | ---- | ||
And of course, they are.<br><br>The attempt, the gesture...<br>She wants to spit at it.<br><br>As her breaking, twisted heart twists and breaks all the more, the glass hears her misery all the more well, <br>and brings itself closer—<br>turns itself over, piece by single piece —<br>each reflecting more memory than only one: the shards show the other halves of these shattered lives.<br><br>One by one, growing brighter and brighter...<br>...they begin to show how those lives shattered to begin with. | |||
---- | ---- | ||
She is gripped by their flashing memories of disaster, folly, and failure.<br>She is gripped in turn by her own memories of a ravaged world.<br>She is gripped—physically—by the glass itself as it crawls to her body and binds all around it, twisting about <br>it, tightening and linking like glinting chains until its sharp edges slide up to press at her throat.<br><br>She grins wryly.<br><br>A weak heart beats...<br>...but it is not hers. | |||
---- | ---- | ||
The glass shivers. It almost even seems to undulate. The light of the shards is all snuffed out in a second, <br>and as the chain pieces tighten, and tighten over her body—<br><br>Suddenly, in an abrupt burst of black glitter and a twisting rush of air, the glass all breaks around her, <br>leaving her to fall to the earth and be once more bathed by the far-off dawn. | |||
---- | ---- | ||
Maya looks up into the dark sky. She looks out at the glowing horizon. She shuts her eyes.<br><br>"What...?"<br><br>Confusion. Anger. Disappointment.<br><br>The feelings pour into her shaking fist as the distant light warms her shoulders...<br><br>However, her shoulders soon go cold.<br><br>Cautiously, she opens her eyes once more to darkness.<br><br>Fragments of Arcaea have found her again, and formed new walls.<br><br>A tunnel of shade, a tunnel of glass...<br><br>...leading to distant daylight. | |||

她 | 以前， 她 觉得自己起码能够回答这个问题 。<br><br> 比方说， “ 我想让自己纷繁复杂 的 思绪安 静 下来 。 ”<br> 又比方说，“我想忘记这一切。”<br> “我想从 这 个世界上消失 。 ”<br> “我想感受痛苦。”<br> “我想被别人伤害 。 ”<br> “我想变得快乐 。 ”<br> ……<br><br> 现在，当 她 再次面临这个问题 的 时候 ， 她觉得当时给 出的 答案中 的 其中 一 个很可能仍然正确 。 | ||

你可以选择变得开心起来，但快乐并不是你应得的 。<br><br> 你也可以选择接受审判， 但 它让你感到恐惧 。<br><br> 当你身处这种两难 的 境地 ， 你只会觉得自己实际上并没 有 选择权。<br><br> 不过 ， 假设你必须做出选择 的 话，假设你真能 看到 摆在你面前的是两条清晰但不同的道路 ，<br> 而 不 是 一 条路蒙眼 走 到黑 ， 这个时候……<br><br> 你 会 做何选择？ | |||

前路不明的时代结束了。飘渺不定与悲天悯 人 的时代已是历史 ， 由 一 位愚者一手造就 的 时代已经过去 。<br><br> 视野不再狭窄 ， 飞 过 半边天 的 云也已变得稀薄 。<br><br> 星光黯淡了下来，阳光也不再明媚 。<br><br> 受束缚 的 她最 大的 心愿 ， 便 是在 绝望 的 高崖 之 上饱受苦痛折磨 ， 但这样 的 愿望并不会实现 。<br><br> 相反地， 她 得 到了 选择 的 权利 。<br><br> 因为 这 才是Arcaea想看到 的。 | |||
---- | ---- | ||
她 站起身，面前是一堵由玻璃筑成的高墙 。 墙上的碎片开始变得暗淡无光，<br> 从中不再有记忆的片段显现。碎片现在所能映射 的， 便是 她的 脸庞 。<br>她 看着镜子里 自己 异色的双瞳，随后又看向她胸前镶着红边的花瓣……<br><br>她的 左右两侧各有一条蜿蜒开来的小路。风从她身边拂过，从她 的 发间逃走 。<br><br> 她现在觉得自己焕然一新 了。<br><br>像 有人终于察觉 了她， 像有一只稳重的手轻轻搭 在她的 背上 。<br><br> 想要快乐并不是什 么 令人羞耻的事……<br> 而感到悲伤 也 同样不是 。<br><br> 直视你的心，直面现实 ， 然 后 做出选择，这 样 就好 。 | |||

"..."<br><br>Maya pushes herself partway from the ground. She looks into the dot of far light, and no old memories <br>come to her. She turns her head to gaze behind, and the yawning maw where she stepped from only <br>minutes ago gazes back more dark than ever before. In that darkness, something glints now and then. <br>More glass, surely. She lies between, forced to think. | |||
---- | ---- | ||
There is a choice.<br><br>There is a choice here.<br><br>Let easeful nothingness consume you, or welcome the frightening light.<br><br>Maya climbs to her knees and thinks on it.<br><br>Angrily, she mutters, "What do you want from me...?

---- | ---- | ||
She stands up to face a wall of glass. The shards comprising it have all gone black again; no memory is <br>cast out from any one of them. Instead, her own face stares back at her. She stares into her two-color eyes, <br>and those eyes drift to the red-bordered petals over her chest...<br><br>To her right lies one path, and to her left another. Wind passes over her, running through her hair.<br><br>Inside she feels...new.<br><br>As if someone has seen her. As if a steady hand has been placed at her back.<br><br>There isn't any shame in wanting to be happy...<br>And there isn't any shame in sadness.<br><br>Weigh your heart, weigh reality, and decide. | |||

Glass, in the <br>sky: something magical, and called, too, "Arcaea". They are shards, it seems, of memory.<br><br>You knew all this; you knew the name "Arcaea" but you—you "remembered" nothing of the place. No, no...<br><br>You only remembered "yourself".<br><br>Oh, such a terrible heartache filled your chest. Oh, what dreadful things you had done. You had left <br>a world behind. You had left a world to ruin. A veil of sins felt as if it was weighing upon your shoulders <br>and blending with your body, seeping in. An ichor-like thing it was; you felt as if you carried what was <br>left after that great and terrible wound which you yourself had dealt. You cried, you sobbed into your <br>hands. Ah, ah, a beautiful sorrow... | |||
<br><br> | ---- | ||
There was one thing you forgot: your name. You do not truly know who you are. Is that a shame?<br><br>Shame or no, you dried your tears and stood to your feet.<br><br>In truth, you may have never "been" anyone at all...<br><br>But your feelings were so very real. Those memories were real—no mistaking that.<br><br>And your new name... Hm, "new name"? Were you ever even bestowed a name—? Oh.<br><br>It seems this world did indeed decide to give you a name, and what a lovely name it is.<br><br>It seems this world wished to call you "Maya". | |||

摩耶，你很厉害呢，你知道吗？你的构造可是这个世界上所有生命体里独一无二的呢。<br><br>关于你独一无二的「构造」，其实是有双重含义的：首先，组成你的物质是独一无二的，<br>跟先前来到这个世界的所有其他造访者都不一样；其次，你的构造也更为 “ 强大”，亲爱的摩耶，<br>请注意我的用词—— 这 意味着你的「心」是强大的。实际上 ， 你大概 是 这个神奇 的 世界上最美好的造物 。<br><br> 不过，现在就下定论，还是有些为时过早。 | |||
---- | |||
对于大部分人来说，这个世界一直都是明亮的。<br>由一颗看不见的恒星带来的永昼点亮了这个世界的每一个角落，但你从 醒 来后却一直在黑夜中漂泊。<br><br> 对 于你来说，黑暗如影随形 ， 但你 并 没有退缩，虽然可能只是因为你没有细想，<br>但你还是勇敢地朝未知的深处走去了。 这 可多么叫人钦佩！所以呀，Arcaea，Arcaea……<br><br>你的旅行让你发现了很多东西，亲爱 的 摩耶。你发现了这个 玻璃 的世界本身就如镜面一般拥有两幅面孔；<br>你发现了 这 个世界里的人都已经失去了真正意义上的 生命 ；<br>你发现这个世界有条边界将极昼与极夜分隔开来；<br>你发现了一处已被遗忘的地点还留有着光明与纷争之间冲突的记忆；<br>你还发现这个世界好像还有其他世界 的记忆， 但就是没有这个世界本身的记忆……<br>「Arcaea」是在害怕自己吗？是因为它过去做过的事情吗？这里的其他少女们会不会也同样好奇这些？ | |||
---- | |||
这些可都是深奥的问题呢：这个给予人二次机会的世界真的有存在的意义吗？<br>大部分人并不知道她们已经错过了一次机会了；这个封闭的世界真的有存在的意义吗？不论它 如 何变化，<br>它也永远不能改变任何事物。当然，这些问题可能只有哲学家或者专家学者才答得上来吧，<br>但同样不可否认 的 是，你也得试试去寻找答案。<br><br>你为什么会 来 到这里呢？你瞧 ， 你的出身、你的地位、你的过去——你来到 这 里并不合理。<br>回 忆 浪涛般一波波朝你袭来，充斥着各种各样的悲伤，而这样做又有什么意义？<br><br>那时候的你就站在光与影的边界，显得这整件事就像是一个笑话。<br><br>但其实，这个谜题的答案十分简单 。 | |||
---- | |||
Arcaea本身并没有意义。<br><br> 很简单的答案，对吧？但是这才 是 它的可爱之处 啊 。而你，亲爱 的 摩耶 ， 你慢慢也悟到了这一 点 ，对吧。<br><br>这个世界想安慰你。在你觉得伤心或者害怕的时候 ，这 个世界拿出了它所珍藏的记忆，<br>小心翼翼地将它们捧到你面前…… 是 的，尽管一开始你很反感碎片的这些举动，<br>但当你终于踏足光芒照耀的这一面的时候，啊啊……多么地富有诗韵美！多么地耐人寻味！<br>多么地精彩绝伦 ！<br><br> 你想想啊，这个世界的心脏早已破碎不堪，它竟仍能如此向你表达它的爱意…… | |||
---- | |||
你 左右为难，被苦痛击垮，但你的愿望都实现了！你想要变得轻松些 ，你 便轻松些 了 ！<br>你想感受痛苦 ， 世界也回应了！<br><br>所 以 ，嘭！ 地 一下子，一切都变了！哦……还是说，其实早就发生改变了呢？什么时候呢？<br>什么时候呢……哎呀，真不好 说 呀……<br><br>算了，这不重要！唰！一条阴影铺就的 道 路幻现在你眼前并引领你前往天堂，而你就此踏上了旅程，<br>没错吧，摩耶！<br><br>你选择直面你的愧疚，去追逐光芒的脚步，哎呀呀……<br><br> 好自私啊！你本只该去接受审判，摩耶！ | |||
---- | |||
那样的场面，该是多么地宏大，多 么 地神圣！<br><br>但，还不够……<br><br>——所以！<br><br> 我 决定了！<br>就是在那个时候 ，我 便下定了决心：我一定会找到你 。 | |||

Maya, you are exceptional—do you realize that? You are made of stuff that no one else here is.<br><br>"Made of stuff" can be taken two ways, in fact. You are made of stuff unusual, stuff none of the others <br>have when they come here. But, also, you are made of "stronger stuff". That is a turn of phrase, Maya. <br>It means your "heart" is strong. You are, perhaps, the most wonderful thing in a world of endless wonder.<br><br>Although, that is hard to say absolutely. | |||
---- | |||
To most, this world has always been bright. An endless daylight once shone down over everything <br>from an unseen star. But after you awakened, you wandered the darkened world.<br><br>For you, shadows were all around, and yet you still stepped bravely into the unknown—maybe <br>unthinking, but it was no doubt admirable. So, Arcaea, Arcaea...<br><br>You found a world of mirror meanings. You found a world of the dead, giving life. You found a world <br>of day, and also night. You found a forgotten place full of memories of light and conflict. It seemed <br>to remember elsewhere always, however—and never itself. Does "Arcaea" fear itself and what it has <br>done? Do the girls here also feel that way...? | |||
---- | |||
It's a question for philosophers: is this world of second chances worth anything at all when most <br>can only see this chance as their first? Is this sealed world worth anything at all, when it can't seem <br>to progress into anything beyond itself? It is a question for scholars. It was also, indeed, a question for you.<br><br>Given what you were, who you were, what you'd done—why were you here...? Memories after memories <br>flocked to you, showing sorrow, and what point was there in that...?<br><br>At one point, when you stood between light and darkness, it seemed almost a mockery...<br><br>But the secret answer is very, very simple. | |||
---- | |||
Arcaea is a meaningless world.<br><br>It is simple, yes, but that is why it is admirable. And you, Maya; you came to notice it, right?<br><br>The world came to warm you. When you felt sadness and horror, the world brought you the gentle <br>embrace of old stories, remembered here. Yes, you... found it distasteful for quite some time, but after <br>you walked into the light! Poetic! Meaningful! What a show it was!<br><br>To think this world of a shattered heart could put on such a marvelous show... | |||
---- | |||
Torn between two paths, and brought low by your suffering... you wished for ease and received it! You <br>wished for pain and received it!<br><br>And so suddenly...! Everything changed! Or, had it changed long before? When did it change, <br>when...? Difficult to say, really...<br><br>Why, it doesn't matter. A burst! A shadowed path appeared before you to Heaven, and you <br>walked it, Maya!<br><br>You faced the guilt inside of you and chose to pursue the light. Ahh...<br><br>So selfish... though you deserve only judgment, Maya... | |||
---- | ---- | ||
她吸 | That scene, it was sublime, almost providence...<br><br>But not quite...<br><br>And so—!<br><br>I decided then, and there, to come and find you. | ||

Maya, we haven't yet met—it's tragic. Yes, you and I, we are unfamiliar, but I feel like I "know" you.<br><br>And it is frustrating... Ah, it is frustrating how little that I do "know".

They were so simple when I found them, though...<br><br>You, Maya: I know your name. I know your heart, and your pain.

You are a miracle of miracles amidst a miraculous place.<br><br>Miracles, really, are rare outside.

亲爱的，听我说：我知道每个世界的诞生都是有原因的，但唯独Arcaea不是。<br><br>不是有一句话广为流传吗？——“Arcaea是「心」的产物。”<br><br>不过有三样东西是我在每个世界里都找到了的，那就是表层的世界、中层的法则和底层的愿望。<br>这些愿望的种子被播撒和种植于每个世界的最根部，然后生根发芽，长出愿望的藤蔓和枝条。<br><br>我将Arcaea的时间静止的时候顺带回顾了一眼这个世界的表中两层，证实了我之前一直以来的猜测：<br>构成这个世界的东西并没有任何被「编织」过的痕迹。<br><br>比起细腻柔软的布料，这个世界更像是难以捉摸的大海，<br>组成Arcaea的东西无时无刻不在以令人难以理解的方式变化。<br>很多人也许会用描述情感的词来形容这种变化：冷静的，或是愤怒的；阴暗的，或是柔和的。<br><br>潮水般，时涨，时落…… | |||
---- | |||
在表层之下你一般会看到很多漂亮的丝线在引导着世界运行的法则，<br>但在这群黄金和钴蓝之下再也不见其身影。<br><br>过了第二层后，已成形的线则杂乱地相互交织在一起，远看像一团奇怪的聚合体——<br>狂乱的白色涂鸦隐约展示着像黑色画布般近乎无边无际的边界。<br>这里的每一个看似扭曲或出格的事物其实都明确表明了它们的「心愿」。<br>一切的一切都是关于悲伤……还有希望。这两个概念定义了这个世界的全部。<br><br>而我对它的感情就像对你一样，只有欣赏及喜爱。摩耶，因为你们都是如此这般美好。<br><br>但当我想以丝线的形式向其中注入新的想法时，当我想从这里获取一些真正的控制权时，<br>Arcaea便再度拒绝了我。真扫兴，这只能让我的领域愈发难以创建……<br><br>Arcaea抓住了我的手，使我的臂膀变得僵硬，它甚至还想重写「我」的存在。有那么一瞬间，它真的做到了：<br>它成功消除了我正在痉挛的手臂，只见它们离开了我的身体，变成了颜色诡异的正在抖动不停的东西，<br>在半空中迅速消散又重新浮现、消散又重新浮现。有那么一瞬间静止的时间仿佛又重新流动了起来……<br>而你不幸目睹了这所有的混沌。<br><br>……十分抱歉。 | |||
---- | |||
Arcaea是如此地想赶我离开，以至于做出将我的全身同时间与空间都分隔开来这种事，<br>但我亲爱的摩耶，为了你我愿意献上一切：无论是献祭我漂亮的手臂，还是忍受胃内搅动的恶心感，<br>抑或是抵抗更为强大的力量，我都会献上我的一切，而我也有能力做到这一点。<br><br>我的脑海此刻正充斥着一种自己不在「这里」而是在「那里」的感觉，伴随 着 巨大的断裂声、钻心的疼痛感、<br>前所未有的恶心感，脑子里一闪而过的正午时刻一个黑暗房间内出现的各种怪象的画面，<br>我成功地用意念将自己的手臂收回身体，并将其伸向Arcaea的"地基"。伸手……伸手，伸手！<br><br>让「我」！留在！ 这 里！<br>记忆的世界啊！我在此发誓：从今以后，你会永远记得我的存在！<br><br>以Arcaea迄今最为精美的一缕 新 丝线作为媒介，我将最后一个、也是最为美好的想法嵌进这个世界里：<br>我那最为崇高 的 真名。<br><br>至此，结束了，一切都结束了。永恒的巨变就此诞生：我现在永远都是「这里」的一部分了。<br>那么这个绝佳的时机我也绝不会浪费。<br><br>我开始将时间和空间分离——它们都被我抛诸身后，然后我打开了一扇通往属于我的「彼处」的门，而你，<br>摩耶，尽管你的表情还是那么地诧异、恐惧和困惑，我还是选择就在此刻将你拥入它的怀抱。 | |||

The skies all converge on one point. A vortex—a funnel forms, as vast as that sky itself. The firmament <br>is shaped as if it is draining downward, and then suddenly it shifts entirely in a hundred, thousand <br>ways. Color spreads out across the heavens.<br><br>A maelstrom of color, all draining downward and crackling!<br><br>The purity of light finally and utterly shifts to colors more than prismatic...<br><br>New color! Heretofore unknown and powerful color!<br><br>And ah, yes—I think it's the perfect timing! Let's start a storm! | |||
---- | |||
Below, Maya witnesses my entrance, until the whole world's sky turns red.<br><br>That color inverts. Shifts—Shifts—Shifts! And finally, my hand passes through.<br><br>Lightning and rain begin to fall with might. A storm, a storm! Winds turn and throw towers down—<br>throw walls and buildings down! Snow and ice pelt the earth. The sky ripples as my own colors <br>bleed all around me—coat me.<br><br>I descend into Arcaea, as weather—as life—as nature all come with me, and I grin. For I will leave <br>the sky unbroken, hmhm...<br><br>Amidst the chaos and storms I have brought, I land gently to the earth before you and of course <br>I curtsy, and I bow. As my hair and yours are cast all around in the gale I say—<br><br>"Hello, hello, Maya—<br><br>I have so wished to meet you." | |||
---- | |||
When do I reach you...? I take no time stepping over to you... holding you, embracing you...<br>Feeling you...<br><br>These shoulders, your spine...<br>Your stomach and side, your fingertips... this hair of yours, oh...<br>Don't you tremble, now. I am only looking.<br><br>Ah, and of course, your face... I softly hold your breaking, crying face.<br><br>What might you be thinking as you look upon me with those quivering, two-colored eyes?<br><br>I am thinking about plucking out your red eye, and examining it more closely. It, in particular, is <br>intriguing and beautiful. Oh—don't worry, I will leave it there, and instead simply find who you <br>took it from...<br><br>But what are you, Maya...? What are you in this world already so incomprehensible...? I simply <br>must have "you".<br><br>Holding you with one hand at your back, I snap the fingers of my other and take "time" away. | |||
---- | |||
Listen now: every world is made with something in mind, but I already knew that Arcaea <br>stood out with exception.<br><br>It has been said and said: Arcaea was made with "heart".<br><br>Still, without fail, within every world I have been able to find three "parts":<br>The surface world, the law underneath, and underneath both of those the seed of a wish and <br>its tangent desires spreading like roots.<br><br>As I stop time in Arcaea, and look past the first and second layers, all suspicions are solidly <br>confirmed that this world's fabric has no "weaving" at all.<br><br>No, it is instead more like a sea. Arcaea's fabric exists as an ever-shifting, almost <br>incomprehensible thing which one tends to describe with terms of emotion: calm or raging, <br>dark or peaceful.<br><br>Ebbing, and flowing... | |||
---- | |||
You would ordinarily see gorgeous lines of order establishing a world's rules beneath the first layer, <br>and yet there are none in that gold and cobalt underneath.<br><br>The only establishing lines there are a strange and sketched mess past the second layer—frenzied <br>white scrawlings vaguely marking the bounds of an almost infinite black canvas. Each twisted and <br>errant thing there is a clear-cut "wanting". It is all sorrow... and hope. Only these define this world.<br><br>And like you, Maya, I love it. It is wonderful...<br><br>But as I try to add a new idea as a line amidst all the others, perhaps to wrest some true control <br>here, Arcaea rejects me again. Why? That makes it tougher and tougher to manifest my domain...<br><br>It seizes my fingers and stiffens my arm. It even seems to want to rewrite "my" existence—until <br>in fact it removes my whole spasming limb. My arm separates from me and begins color-shifting, <br>dithering in midair, rapidly vanishing and unvanishing... Time even resumes, and in this new <br>chaos you, Maya, witness a very terrifying sight.<br><br>My apologies... | |||
---- | |||
It takes great effort as Arcaea tries to pull me out of this reality, and even sever my body along space <br>and time, but I would do anything for you, Maya. Through any storm, through any sickness, through <br>any power overwhelming I would and can do anything...<br><br>With snaps and pain and nausea, feeling not "here" but "there" and with a strange vision of a dark <br>room in midday filling my head, I will my arm back to my body and reach out to Arcaea's fabric. <br>Reach out... Reach, reach!<br><br>Leave "me" here!<br>World of memories! From this day forth, you shall never forget me!<br><br>I carve the last and most beautiful idea—the most beautiful line in Arcaea's fabric:<br>I carve into Arcaea my own true and hallowed name.<br><br>And it's set, and it's done: an eternal and immutable change. I am now "here", forever. So, I'll <br>waste not a second more.<br><br>I begin to split time and space apart myself—behind me. At last I open a black and shining gate <br>to "mine" and gently, Maya, while you're so still from shock and fear and confusion, I begin to pull you in. | |||

---- | |||
And there, there, you begin to unravel.<br><br>As your fingertips meet with the boundary, your voice is lost and you start to unravel into glass threads.<br><br>You unspool from your hand, past your arm, and to your chest and your body in a beautiful, silvery sight. <br>Little wondrous splits without a single spot of blood continue all throughout your skin and where there <br>might be inner parts... In waves of countless, brilliant, almost prismatic threads, you are drawn through <br>the dark hole I have opened.<br><br>Your shape now is like a melting harp waving through the air; its strings made of the prettiest white <br>quilt being split down slowly at its seams...<br><br>Ah, ah...<br>Fall into the best place, Maya...<br><br>And stay away from here forever.<br><br><br>When the last thread of you passes time and space, I close the gate shut. | |||
---- | |||
White begins to overtake the sky once more.<br><br>I gaze up above as the storm begins to die down.<br><br>And watching it fade, I remark to this world that hates me:<br><br>"Arcaea, Arcaea...<br><br>"Hello to you as well." | |||

她的脚下咯吱作响，每迈一步，被踏过的土地便顷刻间变得松软。白色，满眼尽是白色，充斥着眼帘，<br>包裹着一切——颇为有趣，也颇为微妙的景象。一个个脚印留在了这位正在前行的少女身后。黑夜里，<br>她继续在这片纯白中行进，不断深入。她的身旁纷纷扬扬，她的头顶缥缥缈缈，所见之处，均是白色。<br><br>凛冽寒风中，群愿默不做声，思索着自己下一步该去往何处。<br><br>“应该先是……”她看向天空，嘟囔道，“这儿，然后再是……那儿。”<br>远处，黑夜中有什么东西正隐约闪烁，而抬头看向远处的她，视线仿佛穿透了这白茫茫的一片，<br>穿过了这群在空中踩着小碎步不断律动的“舞者”，看向了更远的 地 方。 随 即，她垂下目光，平视前方。 | |||
---- | |||
高耸的峭壁旁，她发现了一处山谷：除了钻心的严寒，这里什么也没有。<br>银装素裹之中零零散散穿插着几点星光，为这片大地和远处的地平线留下了朦胧的一抹紫色，<br>好比一沓素纸上忽然出现了一笔浓墨。要时机合适，她可得停下来细细欣赏，但今天时机不太凑巧，<br>如此美景也未能让少女沉稳而坚决的步伐怠慢一分。<br><br>夜晚的静谧不时被细微的咯吱声所打扰，调皮的风此时只敢在万籁俱寂之中微微舞动，<br>口中呼出的热气遮蔽了她的视野，温暖了她的脸颊。<br><br>尽管她可能并不会为此大惊小怪，但……<br><br>总有人，不，许多人，都会因此番奇景而感到惊叹：<br>是的，这是Arcaea的第二场雪。}} | |||

A thousand small fractures beneath every footstep, all softened at once by the smothering white all <br>around them. A little interesting, a little strange to have here. Snow fills her footsteps as she leaves them <br>behind and walks into more drifts. Snow, really, drifts all around her. Slowly, under a dark sky, the world <br>is filled with white.<br><br>There, Kanae quietly considers her direction.<br><br>"It should be..." she whispers, looking toward the sky, "there... and then there." Her eyes trace something <br>beyond what most might see glinting only vaguely up above in the dark, past the little waltzes and swings <br>of thoughtless snow. She lowers her gaze after, and looks on ahead. | |||
---- | |||
This a valley beyond a cliffside: it is an empty place, filled simply by empty cold. The white surrounding <br>welcomes glimpses of the purple starlight above, leaving a hazy shimmer over much of the landscape <br>and the far horizon. A plain place painted. Were this another time, she might stop to admire. Now, though, <br>her course is kept with a sure and measured gait.<br><br>The silent night air, lightly decorated with those thousands of breaks below her; wind dancing only a little <br>in the air.

风呼啸着撕咬着她的鼻，群愿不禁眯起眼睛，抖了抖肩。她轻点了下自己的鼻尖，微微蹙眉。<br>世界显得更暗了，就好像离那白日的边界又远 了一 分似的。山谷中满是风的低语和咆哮，雪越下越大，<br>大概过不了多久，她就要迷路了。<br> <br>群愿赶忙抬头看了看天空，再次寻找高空中那微微闪烁的存在。<br> <br>太 “ 不亮堂 ” 了 ， 这下即使是她也看不见了。于是，她缓缓抬起一只手…… | |||
---- | |||
头顶上一直在隐约闪烁的东西顿时变得更加明亮了。每一处光亮都一改原来的躲闪，亮得高调而张扬，<br>直至它们的身形清晰可辨——没错，它们其实是碎片，属于Arcaea的七块碎片。<br> <br>它们 接 连转向她，飘至她身前，松垮垮地在半空中浮动的同时还不忘慢悠悠地自转着。<br>皑皑白雪中的那抹紫穿插其间，而她的目光仔细地扫过每一枚碎片的表面。<br>不，她并不是在查看每个碎片中的记忆，而是在看 着 它们，看这一整个东西「是」什么。<br>她勾了勾手指，将它们延展开来。这七枚碎片不断移动与变化，最终在短时间内合成了一个图案。 | |||

一开始，它们拼了一张人脸出来，随后又变成了一柄剑；这会是一面盾牌，<br>过一会又成了一条弯曲的藤蔓……不能夸下海口说它们拼得天衣无缝，<br>但要一下子认出来是什么形状还是挺容易的。碎片在不停地变换的同时也愈发变得黯淡无光，<br>但唯独有一枚亮度丝毫不减。过了一段时间，她看向了那个独特的存在，然后转身面向它。<br> <br>她有一项还算独特的本领，而此时，她需要同样独特的向导来帮助她施展——好吧，<br>其实恐怕还是只有她自己才最够格做这名向导。这是她一直以来都可以做到的一件事：<br>Arcaea的星空和其所谓的星光于她来说，就像是指引这个世界方位的罗盘。<br> <br>对这枚发着光的碎片所指引的新方向感到颇为满意，群愿再度迈开了脚步。<br>风向此时也再度转变，狂风呼啸着刮得更加猛烈了。}} | |||

The winds bite at her nose, and with that bite Kanae narrows her eyes and picks up her shoulders. She <br>taps her nose tip, slightly frowning. The world is darker now, as it often becomes with distance from the <br>daylight border; and in the valley full of wind's whispers and shouts and through increasing snowfall... <br>Kanae wagers that she's beginning to lose her direction.<br><br>She promptly looks to the sky again. She looks for faint glints in the heavens.<br><br>Now it's a bit too "without light" for even her to see. So, slowly, she raises a hand... | |||
---- | |||
What has been glinting from above begins to glint now stronger, and stronger. Soon, each spot of weak <br>light from above begins to powerfully glow until each has neared enough to be made out clearly. Yes: these <br>are shards of glass, shards of Arcaea, in seven pieces.<br><br>They crawl toward her and when near enough hang loosely in the air, each little one spinning at its own <br>slow speed. The purple that the snow had caught rests within them as well, and her eyes pass over each <br>surface carefully. She looks not at the memories that they hold... she looks at them all, together, "as" <br>something. She bends her fingers, extends them, and like that the shards begin to shift. They, as seven, <br>begin to swiftly form a shape. | |||
---- | |||
They shape first like a face...and after, for a moment, like a sword. Like a shield for a moment, and then <br>like a twisting vine. Imprecise, but recognizable shapes... as the glass pieces take each vague form, they <br>dull, and dull, and dull—though an especial one will never dim. After some time, she turns her eyes to <br>that last remaining bright piece... and turns as well toward it.<br><br>This is her strange touch, and her stranger guide—or it might be best to say the strange guide is herself. <br>What she can do, and always could: she can, simply, make a compass of Arcaea using these makeshift <br>stars and faux starlight.<br><br>Satisfied with the new aim of the glass, Kanae marches forward once more: just as the winds around her <br>turn again, and turn more than a touch fiercer.}} | |||

Here, a deep chasm sits at a distance. <br>Ice and snow spreads almost dazzling over the earth, but no new white comes to coat the place. The <br>darkness of the night seems strangely abated... She turns to the glass shard now behind her.<br><br>"Thank you," she says.<br><br>Perhaps satisfied, the glass leaves then, and she beckons seven faithful from the sky. | |||
---- | |||
The storm has not passed; her friend only carried her out of it. Howling from whence she came, the great <br>and dark vortex of snow that had nearly taken her continues unabated. She pays it no mind, she only twists <br>the seven shards' formations, and watches for what is left brightest in the end. With that, she knows she <br>must find a way down the wide crevice she spotted on her exit.<br><br>"Should be close now..." she thinks aloud, now able to hear herself properly again. She finds a gentle slope <br>into the deeper valley, and descends. | |||
--- | |||
-Entering a natural hall of earth, Kanae looks above those shadowing rock walls to the shards guiding her, <br>and finds and heads the right way. As she nears her destination, her vision subtly begins to skew. The air <br>seems to at once grow both heavy and light. She drops her gaze and looks out to her goal.<br><br>Other glass is drifting toward it. The walls of earth beside it are trembling with unnatural instability. There <br>is a sound, also, humming low throughout everything. The culprit itself is still and firm where it exists—glad <br>enough to be twisting the world around it, evidently.<br><br>But it seems weaker than it ought to be...<br>It seems, almost, wounded.<br>Then it might just be safe... it might, truly, be powerless...<br><br>...<br><br>This, this anomalous shard: this is Kanae's aim.<br><br>For this inert thing...<br><br>Now, pure and heedless, Kanae steps forward.}} | |||

靠近碎片的一瞬间，她的心跳便立刻加快了——确实是更快了，<br>只是不太能够反映真实的情况，因为变快的也仅仅只有她的心跳而已：不同于她以往的经历，<br>这一回她的身体并没有因受到这片奇异碎片的影响而出现异常。过往的经验告诉她，<br>她现正经历的一切是这个世界上如怪物般可怕的存在，没事最好还是离这类东西远点。<br> <br>问题是，眼下这只怪物睡得好像并不安稳。<br> <br>剧烈搅动着的空间仍在加剧翻滚，但群愿仍坚定不移地朝着她的目标走去。与此同时，她又一次抬头，<br>望向天空。这枚碎片不过是仍存在于这个世界上的一个被遗忘的错误，尽管仍未消散，<br>它也不再具有玩弄这个世界的绸缎的能力了。但是，以防万一嘛……<br> <br>目光所及之处，她能看见许多「星座」。<br>组成各种星座形状的碎片时动时静，等待着她的请求，等待着她的召唤。<br>那么，哪一个最符合她的要求呢……？<br> <br>毫无疑问，答案是：翅膀形状的那一个 。 | |||
---- | |||
她开始呼唤碎片，而异象阻止了它们。她不满地皱眉，神情坚毅地再次向那个「星座」发出邀请。<br>十枚碎片应声而落，在那枚奇特碎片的影响下上下浮动。果断地，她操控着它们来回穿行，<br>直至它们都如尖刺般环绕着它。<br> <br>接着，十枚碎片调整了各自的位置，它们的尖端最终都对准了异象，然后便径直刺去。<br> 这 些「星座」的碎 片 引发碰撞的那一瞬间，一股能量从中迸发，即使几乎微不可见，<br>但这枚碎片对这个世界的最后一丝威胁也都在那一刻起尽数消散。<br> <br>异象的怪力于此刻终于被完全压制，禁锢在了球形的牢笼之中。群愿示意笼子再靠近些，<br>直至它来到她的跟前。<br> <br>但她并没有读取碎片中 的 记忆，而只是将它带在身旁，随后转过身，毅然地继续向前走。 | |||

“这暴风雪肯定还得刮一阵子……”当她走出峡谷，通过看向高空来决定下一个去处时，她评论 道 ，<br>“那我该怎么回去啊？或许还是……”<br> <br>这句话并没有说完。当她低头看向底下绮丽的风景时，她轻哼了一声，不禁咧嘴笑了。<br> <br>是熟悉的面孔，她一看便认出了它：她的那位碎片朋友又回来了。她随即叫住了它。 | |||
---- | |||
“小屋”碎片乖乖来到了她面前，耐心地等待着下一步指示。虽然仍在笑着，她也不自觉隐隐担忧起来：<br>这下还能行吗？这回多了一枚异象碎片 和 一堆其他碎片，这些也能一并带进一段回忆里吗？<br>更别说还得进一步引导它……<br> <br>……嘛，可是，不试试怎么知道呢。<br> <br>这样想着，这位勇敢的少女便带着这一大堆“行李”——异象碎片，还有关押它的笼子，<br>以及她头顶上所有的「星座」——大踏步走进了回忆之中。<br> <br>而踏入记忆的同时，她也开始慢慢察 觉 到，自己与天空正在缓慢链接……<br> <br>也正因如此，自一场温暖的梦境，群愿也得以向天空呼唤，为那些碎片指引方向……<br> <br>——飞越这场风雪。}} | |||

Her heart beats faster on her approach. It quickens, really, against her wishes. However, it is only her heart. <br>Unlike her experience, her entire body is not lurching by the strange glass's influence. In her experience: <br>ordinarily this is a kind of monster of this world altogether best left avoided.<br><br>But this monster seems to be sleeping a restless sleep.<br><br>Space churns further, yet Kanae continues on toward her goal and meanwhile looks to the sky again. <br>This shard is merely a forgotten error of the world, no longer strong enough to even pick at the world's <br>seams. But just to be safe...<br><br>In her sight...<br>there are many "constellations".<br>Glass shapes dancing or still, waiting for her inquiry or her call.<br>And which would be best for this...?<br><br>That one there: in the shape of wings. | |||
---- | |||
She calls to its shards, and the anomaly stifles their motion. She frowns and steadfastly calls to the <br>constellation again. Ten shards fall from the sky, starting and stopping in their fall from the strange <br>shard's effects. She resolutely commands them through, and like spikes they surround the aberrant glass.<br><br>The ends of the ten shards aim toward the anomaly, and shortly the ten shards fire forth. Almost invisible,<br>an energy lifts up all around them. And, as these "star"-shards lock into place, whatever strangeness <br>the odd piece could threaten... soundly stops.<br><br>This anomaly's influence is thus contained, left in a spherical cage. And in that cage she calls it closer—<br>calls it to float before her.<br><br>But she wastes no time gazing into its memory. She turns away and continues on—bringing the imprisoned <br>shard by her side. | |||
---- | |||
"That storm is definitely still going..." she remarks as she leaves the canyon, looking up at the sky to grasp <br>her next direction. "How will I make it back through? Could I, maybe..."<br><br>Her words taper off as she lowers her gaze and begins looking around the pretty landscape...until she <br>huffs through her nose and smiles.<br><br>Back again, she knows it by its sight: her new glass friend. She calls it toward her. | |||
---- | |||
After arriving the cabin memory patiently awaits her and, still smiling, she wonders—Will this really work? <br>Will she be able to bring an anomaly and other shards into a memory...? And what's more, attempt to <br>guide it...<br><br>...Well, she will need to try.<br><br>The intrepid girl enters the memory with the anomaly and its cage in tow, calling to every constellation of <br>glass above her as she does so.<br><br>And as she does so, she feels herself being connected to the heavens...<br><br>Thus, from within a warm dream, Kanae calls to those heavens and sets the shard's course...<br><br>...To fly through that storm of snow.}} | |||

这次旅途大概耗费了她三天三夜，全为了达成一个动机真诚而思路清晰的目标。<br>在悄然落下的飞雪中，静谧无声的雪地里，这段旅途最终于回归起点之时到达了终点。<br><br>群愿回到了地表，满眼尽是玉树琼枝，跟随她的步伐一起窸窣作响，<br>夺目的强光也自她离开那段回忆后一并消散。再次听完她的感谢，它又一次离开了她，<br>又一次踏上了自己前途未卜的旅程。她们……一定还会再度相遇。<br> <br>她身旁的异象碎片一路跟随着她，毫发无伤。或许实际上正是因为它的存在，她才得以顺利返回……<br>不管怎样，一切 都 结束了。<br> <br>群愿回到了原来刚出发时自己所在的那面峭壁，开始一步步往上攀爬。她使尽浑身解数，<br>一路紧赶慢赶，不敢耽搁哪怕一点时间。<br> <br>到达顶端后，荒芜而又熟悉的广袤地表尽收眼底。<br>群愿此时听到了什么东西在拍打着空气的声音——原来是两只扑扇着翅膀的蝙蝠。 | |||
---- | |||
她转过身，看到了一只白黑相间（还有橘色和绿色）、长得 像 蝙蝠的生物正心急火燎地向她赶来，<br>而它的身后还紧随着另一只黑白相间（还有绿色和橘色）、长得像蝙蝠的生物。<br>当看清楚她带回来的东西 是 什么的时候，这两只小东西顿时显得尤为兴奋，<br>急不可耐地几乎是立即扑到了她面前。<br><br>“就是它了！”其中一只开口道。<br>“就是它了！”另一只附和道。<br>“就是它了？”群愿问道。<br> <br>“就是它了！”两只蝙蝠异口同声，大声答道，“就是它了！就是它了！感谢！感谢！太感谢了！”<br> <br>“喏，”群愿将那枚被禁锢的异象碎片拿到跟前给它俩看，说道，“之前你们跟我说，你们的好朋友病了，<br>因此需要它，我没拿错吧？” | |||
---- | |||
“没错！就是它！它能让我们的朋友好起来！”其中一只答道。那枚异象碎片悬浮在它俩中间，<br>组成它囚笼的十枚碎片幽幽发着亮光。<br> <br>“它必须得让我们的朋友好起来！”另一只附和道，夸张地点了点头。<br> <br>“能带我去见见她吗？”群愿温柔地开口询问道。<br> <br>“啊，那个，可能不太方便……”听起来更稳重成熟的蝙蝠回答道。<br> <br>“啊，可能……可能有些危险……”听起来更孩子气的另一只蝙蝠回答道 。<br> <br>“好的，没关系，那麻烦告诉我后续她怎么样了呀！” | |||
---- | |||
“好哦！我们到时会来找你的，好不好？”其中一只答应道，笃定地在空中盘旋，<br>碎片和它的球形牢笼随着它的动作上下移动，这一举动貌似打扰到了另一只蝙蝠。<br> <br>群愿轻轻一笑，点了点头，回应道：“好。”<br> <br>“谢谢你，善良的好心人！你是世界上最好的人！你是……”蝙蝠停顿了，它模糊不清的脸转了过来。<br>只见那张脸抽动了一下，好似泪珠的东西从两只眼睛一般所在的地方滴落下来。<br> <br>……它哭了。<br> <br>“好了，德莱姆，该出发了。”第一只蝙蝠飞回来跟它说道。它再度朝群愿点了点头，<br>又一次向她道谢：“谢谢你。”<br> <br> “不用客气。”她说。<br> <br>随后，两只蝙蝠便飞远了。 | |||

“……”<br> <br>群愿目视着它们，直至它们的身影逐渐消失于远处的地平线。她轻哼了一声，微笑着转过身，<br>面对着这峭壁的边缘，坐了下来，两条腿懒散地悬在半空。<br> <br>……这是来到Arcaea的第几天了？<br>或许，几年都过去了吧……<br>见过了裂开的天空，见过了破碎的穹顶，见过了无光的世界后……<br>唯独没见过的，是脸，属于生命的、活生生的脸。就连这两只蝙蝠的“脸”也只能用“模糊”来形容。<br> <br>“真是的……” 她 感叹道，同时笑了笑。她皱了皱鼻子，微笑着的脸微微抽搐起来。“真是的，哈哈……”<br> <br>她捂住自己的脸，将自己湿润的双眼隔绝于夜空之外。<br> <br>仍在颤抖着，她告诉自己：<br>她不清楚它 们 要救谁，但……<br>……她做出了正确的决定。 | |||

“我希望……”<br> <br>她开口道，但她并未全然说出自己的心愿。她的目光掠过这趟旅途所经过的地方，<br>掠过仍未停歇的风暴。她抬头，看向天空。<br> <br>一束光从中划过。双眼不禁瞪大，她的笑容再度变得有力了起来。她轻声说道……<br> <br>“……我，只愿……”<br> <br>在深夜的死寂中，在逐渐黯淡的薄暮时分里，在被雪白不断浸染的灰暗大地上……<br> <br>她对自己说，对天空说……<br> <br>对大家说：<br> <br>此念，如愿以偿。}} | |||

A journey that may have taken three days, a goal sincere and clear.<br>That journey ends where it began: amidst quiet snowfall, amidst quiet snow fields.<br><br>Kanae lands to the ground, two thousand small fractures crackling, smothered in white, beneath her feet. <br>The cabin memory loses the light of her exit and, after she thanks it again, it returns to its wayward journey. <br>They will meet again.<br><br>The anomaly stayed, and is still with her at her side. Perhaps, in fact, it being there for the return was what <br>made that return possible at all...<br>Regardless, it is all done.<br><br>Kanae makes her way to the cliff from where she'd first left. She climbs it steadily and quickly. Hurriedly. <br>She needs all her speed, she needs to not wait a single minute longer.<br><br>And at the cliff's top, facing a familiar and barren expanse, she hears two pairs of beating wings before she <br>can spot the two bats they belong to. | |||
---- | |||
She turns to the sound to find a curious little white and black (and orange, and green) bat hurrying toward <br>her. It is closely followed by a curious little black and white (and green, and orange) bat keeping up well. <br>The two flap worriedly, excitedly, before her once they've neared enough to see what she's brought.<br><br>"That's it!" says one.<br>"That's it!" says the other.<br>"That's it?" asks Kanae.<br><br>"That's it!!" the two exclaim—shout. "That's it! That's it! Thank you! Thank you, thank you!!"<br><br>"Here," Kanae replies, bringing the bound-anomaly forward and presenting it to the two. "This is what you <br>need to help your sick friend, right?" | |||
---- | |||
"Yes! It will!" says one, as the anomaly hangs between them, the shards containing it shining.<br><br>"It has to!" says the other, nodding fiercely.<br><br>"Can I see her?" she asks kindly.<br><br>"Oh, um, maybe not..." says the one that sounds a bit mature.<br><br>"Oh, um, it's maybe dangerous..." says the other that sounds a bit childish.<br><br>"Alright... tell me how it goes after, then!" | |||
---- | |||
"Yeah! We'll find you, okay!?" One of the bats moves with insistence as it speaks, the sphere of shards <br>bounding with its movements and seeming to bother the other bat.<br><br>And with a soft smile and nod, Kanae answers, "Okay."<br><br>"Thanks, lady! You're the best! Y-You're..." the bat pauses, and its indefinite face turns. That face tightens, <br>and where eyes might be droplets of water begin to form.<br><br>...The bat begins to cry.<br><br>"Let's go, Drem," says the first bat, beating its wings to bring itself backward. It nods to Kanae again. <br>"Thank you," again.<br><br>"You're welcome," she says.<br><br>Thus, the two bats fly off. | |||
---- | |||
[[文件:Story17-6-2 cg.jpg|300px|]] | |||
---- | |||
"..."<br><br>Kanae watches as their shapes recede into the horizon. She huffs again, and turns with a smile. She returns <br>to the cliff's edge, and sits with her feet hanging over it.<br><br>How long has she been in Arcaea?<br>It has to have been years now...<br>Past a sky dividing, past a sky shattering, and after lost light...<br>...Never has she found another face within this land. Even those bats' "faces" could only be called..."abstract".<br><br>"...Damn," she says with a laugh. Her nose bunches, and the smile on her face quivers. "Damn, haha..."<br><br>She covers her face, and hides her brimming eyes from the sky.<br><br>She shakes. She tells herself:<br>She can't see who it was that they meant to save, but...<br>...It was right to help those two. | |||
---- | |||
"I hope..."<br><br>She begins to say, but she doesn't say it. She looks out over where she went instead. She looks at the still <br>swirling storm. She looks up at the sky.<br><br>A single light dashes across it. Her eyes widen. Her smile finds strength again. She whispers...<br><br>"...I wish..."<br><br>In the quiet of the half-night, on a fading side of day and with white drifting down onto the gray land...<br><br>To herself, to the sky...<br><br>To everyone:<br><br>let this wish come true.}} | |||

她期望着能在这里见到其他人。<br><br>她不知道自己为何这么想。她的周围是一片白色的荒芜，只有褪色已久的废墟，<br>却毫无生灵的迹象——她自己则是个例外。<br><br>自苏醒于此处之后已经过去了几天，她却无法找回任何的记忆。<br>从前，她曾行走于天涯海角，探索力所能及的未知。 眼前 的这片破败的建筑并没有办法为她解惑。<br>所有的建筑都空无一物……虽然她觉得这些建筑本身看着眼熟，<br>却无法回忆起她究竟在何时得知了它们的名字、形状和作用。<br><br>她一次又一次地遇到这种状况：知道“是什么”，却不知“为什么”。<br>这对她来说倒也只是个烦恼，毕竟关于这个世界——以及她本身——还有更加明显、更加重大的事情需要去思考。<br><br>不过必须得说的是：这可真是个令人抓狂的怪地方呀。 | |||

她紧紧地抓住肩膀上的吉他背带，于是问题来了：她是在哪儿拿到它的？<br>她到底为什么要带着它？虽然醒来时它就在她的身边，她却无法解答这些问题。<br>她只知道拨动琴弦、奏响旋律、在音品上方按住琴弦、作出更多旋律。<br>要适时地弹奏它，创作出节奏、音调、和弦、和声。更重要的 是 ，当她握着它的时候，感觉非常的……安心。<br><br>但为什么？不，她不知道为什么。为什么她不知道呢？<br><br>她陷入了 一 片沙漠中，这是亘古岁月中的水流侵蚀所形成的。<br>然而周围并没有水，甚至连液体都不存在。这里怎么会有沙漠？行走，她知道如何行走。<br>为什么？她不知道答案。她从来就没获得过答案。<br><br>这些知识，甚至是“记忆”，真的有哪怕一丝的价值吗？<br>她真的“记得”这些东西吗？她是否已经“忘却”了别的东西？<br>她似乎失忆了，但失忆怎么会是这么的……有选择性？ | |||
---- | |||
拥有知识，却不清楚知识的由来，这种情况让她陷入了深深的失落。<br>这让她显得不完整。就好像有人剥去了她的皮肤、肌肉和骨骼，然后组装到了另一个不相称的容器中<br>，还忘记了放入其它重要的东西，把空虚的她丢在了这里。<br><br>她讨厌无知。<br><br>她的脑海中有无数的疑问如万花筒般流转不息。<br>她强迫自己把注意力放在突然出现的、数不胜数的拐角上。但答案呢？还是没有。这里没有答案。<br><br>在她的赤足探险中（她一开始就决定把鞋挂在脖子上，因为硕大的鞋跟在这样的地形中不方便），<br>她几乎毫 无 收获。实 际 上，她看到的越多，就越是感受到自己的无知。<br><br>她讨厌无知。她知道自己周围的很多东西，却感觉对自己一无所知。<br><br>她看到的大多数东西都令人迷惑 、 毫无意义——尤其是那些莫名奇妙地飞舞在空中的玻璃。<br>那些玻璃 向 她展现了其他的人、其他的时代、其他的世界。这些镜像激起了最为古老的共鸣。<br>这些镜像，她觉得无疑是自己熟悉的东西。 | |||

She kept expecting there to be more people here.<br><br>She wasn’t sure why. All around her was a white wasteland, filled with nothing but faded, ruined<br>buildings, bereft of all life—all except for her.<br><br>In these few days since waking up in this place, without any recollection of what happened before,<br>she walked quite far and explored what she could. The tattered structures did little to answer her<br>questions. Each of them was empty... and while she found the architecture itself familiar, she<br>seemed to have no memory of when she’d learned their names, their shapes, their functions.<br><br>Time and again, that was the idea she’d come back to: knowing "what", but not "why". It could be<br>the idea was just a distraction for her, something to ponder in favor of the more obvious, weightier<br>things regarding this world—and inside herself.<br><br>She had to say, though: this was certainly a bizarre and bewildering place. | |||
---- | |||
She pulled her guitar’s strap tightly over her shoulder, and the questions returned. Where had she<br>gotten it? Why in the world was it with her? Despite having woken up alongside it, she couldn’t<br>answer those questions. She only knew to pluck the strings to make sounds, to hold the strings<br>over the frets to create others. To strum them in time, to create rhythms, melodies, chords,<br>harmonies. More than that, it was almost... comforting, when she held in her hands.<br><br>But why? No, she did not know why. Why didn’t she?<br><br>The sand around her—eroded over eons by water. No water here. No liquid, even. How was there<br>sand? Walking. She knew how to do that. Why? She had no answer. She never had any answers.<br><br>For what it was worth, was any of this knowledge even "memory" at all?<br>Was she "remembering" these things? Had she "forgotten" other things?<br>It seemed to her she had amnesia, but was amnesia this... selective? | |||
---- | |||
Knowing things, but not knowing why that knowledge existed within her, had her deeply and<br>fundamentally upset. It made her feel like an incomplete person. Like someone had removed her<br>skin and muscles and bones and placed them into some false container, but had forgotten to put<br>in all the other important things, leaving her hollow, forgotten.<br><br>She hated not knowing.<br><br>A kaleidoscope of questions shifted and rotated in her mind. She forced herself to focus on all the<br>sudden and overwhelming turns and angles. But answers? Again, no. There were no answers.<br><br>During her barefooted expeditions (she decided early on to keep her shoes looped around her<br>neck, since the large heels were inconvenient for the terrain) she’d learned next to nothing.<br>In fact, the more she saw, the less she felt that she knew.<br><br>She hated not knowing. She knew so many things about what was around her, and yet she felt<br>like she knew nothing of herself. So much of what she saw was baffling nonsense—not least of all<br>the glass wandering through the air for seemingly no reason. Glass that showed her other people,<br>other times, other worlds. Reflections, resonating in the oddest ways. Reflections, she thought,<br>which were undoubtedly familiar. | |||
---- | |||
Yet the familiarity was but a feeling. The glass never showed her in their reflections.<br>These were not scenes of a remembered past.<br>These were not memories... or, at least, they were not hers, these Arcaea. Nothing was hers.<br><br>Deep down, her emotions shifted. With that shift came a growing sense of concern, of being out of<br>place, of confusion, of faint loneliness, of something crucial being missing somewhere inside her.<br>And she didn’t like it one bit.<br><br>She started walking again. Walking always seemed to help.<br>It let her focus on what was around her instead. On what was outside.}} | |||

在弹奏中的那个瞬间，她终于明白了自己心中的那个感觉是什么。这个空虚的世界，她那空虚的记忆……<br><br>让她感到害怕。<br><br>她是谁？这个寂静的地方是哪里？她的 身 上将会发生什么？她的过去曾经发生过什么？<br><br>不过她已经知道，自己大概永远也没法知道答案了。至少在这里不行。<br><br>她的声音出现了些许的嘶哑，但她催促着喉咙、压迫着心肺，想要突破它们不知是否存在的极限。<br><br>她的手指在六根琴弦上疯狂地舞动。<br>她能在脑中清晰地聆听到空气的轰隆、尖啸与震荡，感受到其中蕴含的力量。<br><br>这是一股灵魂和音乐的风暴——在她的歌词下涌动着的是澎湃的暗流和沸腾的恐惧，<br>随 后 又变为强劲的热浪，从她的双眼奔流而出。<br><br>但不知为什么，出于某种她无法道明 的 原因，这让她稍微好受了一些。不再那么迷惑，也不再那么恐惧。 | |||

一段时间后，吼叫的回声终于淡去。她的右手最后拨动了几下，随即从琴弦上垂下。<br>她的作品完成了。她的歌声消逝在明亮的天空中，能证明刚才发生的事情的就只有她心中近乎空虚的记忆。<br><br>她用另一只手擦了擦双眼，一边颤抖着，一边拒绝望向那带走了歌声的天空。<br><br>但她随后就笑了。这让她自己也很惊讶。这是发自内心的笑容——是实现成就后的笑容。<br>她用裙子抹了抹手，又自顾自地叹了口气。<br><br>老天啊，这鬼地方真是太讨厌了。}} | |||

But she could only ignore that creeping feeling for so long.<br><br>Eventually, she sat down on a relatively smooth chunk of stone and anxiously ran a hand through<br>her hair. Looking back, she could see a long set of footprints through the faded sand, stretching all<br>the way to the horizon. How was it possible there was this much sand? She was starting to get sick<br>of it.<br><br>After a moment’s thought, she brought her guitar around and held it, again, in her hands.<br>And there it was again, instantly: that comfort. It was like... a reassuring parent, or a friend.<br>She sighed. Really, that was all that she needed to keep going.<br><br>Without thinking, she began to hum a tune. Her fingers strummed the strings, their quiet, tinny<br>chords adding that precious harmony to her melody. She could remember how to walk, and she<br>could remember how to play. It brought a momentary smile to her lips: how both of these acts<br>came about as natural as breathing.<br><br>Her lips turned down again a moment later, however, losing their humor. Words were coming to her<br>tongue, her teeth, her lips, wanting to be added to this song. At first they were scattered, whirling,<br>trying to form a complete, sensible picture. | |||
---- | |||
And so, dressed in black and scarlet, she sang—in this world of white:<br>this colorless and seemingly infinite cage.<br><br>Gradually, her words gained volume. Her feelings roiled within her, wild, building in intensity.<br>These instinctive words weren’t new, nor were they old and forgotten.<br>They were always with her, and now they were clawing, screaming their way out of her chest.<br>Just speaking them wouldn’t be enough. They needed to be shouted, roared so that they<br>resounded in the furthest corners of this dead world. She yelled them as loud as she possibly could.<br><br>It just seemed like the right thing to do.<br><br>She shouted about confusion. She shouted about the unknown, about the bleak landscapes,<br>about the bounteous memories in tiny glass shards flitting past for brief moments before<br>disappearing again.<br><br>She shouted about—<br><br>Fear. | |||
---- | |||
For that one critical moment as she played, she realized what she’d been feeling, deep down.<br>This empty world, her empty memories...<br><br>They terrified her.<br><br>Who was she? What was this quiet place? What was going to happen to her?<br>What HAD happened to her?<br><br>But she already knew that she might never know. Not here.<br><br>Her voice broke for a note, but she pushed past and forced her lungs, should they exist, to their<br>limits.<br><br>Her fingers flew madly across the six strings. She could hear it vividly in her mind, the power, the<br>weaving together of rumbles, screeches, and vibrations.<br><br>A storm of her soul and of music—a tumultuous undercurrent rushing beneath her lyrics along<br>with the simmering dread, growing into a powerful heat, which reached her eyes as well. | |||
---- | |||
But somehow, in some way she couldn't pinpoint, it made her feel a little better.<br>A little less confused, a little less afraid.<br><br>After a time, the echoes of her shouting faded out. A few final plucks with her right hand, and she<br>dropped it from the strings, her work finished. Her song vanished into the bright sky, the evidence<br>it had ever happened now residing within her near-empty memories.<br><br>She put her other hand to her eyes and rubbed them, shivering, refusing to look at the heavens<br>that had taken her song away.<br><br>But then she gave a laugh. It surprised her. It was an honest laugh—and the smile of a job well<br>done. She wiped her hand on her dress and sighed to herself.<br><br>Man, she hated this place.}} | |||

这个世界还是那么令人迷惑——那么可怕、空虚而冷漠。<br><br>但现在，她觉得自己已经能够承受它们了。<br><br>她的心里并没有底，但可以肯定，那种恐惧也是她熟悉的东西。<br>她了解这种东西——它会让你双腿打颤、让你吓得跑开、让你无法做出决定、让你成为被它掌控的傀儡。<br>那是对未知的恐惧，是对失败的恐惧。<br><br>她现在只能假设，弹奏这首歌是自己的本能。<br>也许她以前就弹奏过，也许她以前就用咆哮宣泄过恐惧，就用这相同的方式。<br><br>也许她以前也这么做过。至少现在，她觉得自己能应付恐惧了。<br>她现在能更好 地 掌控自己扭曲的小情绪。如果她希望在这个令人困惑的世界中保持理智，<br>就需要时刻注意情绪 ， 防止自己被恐惧所掌控。不过，恐惧总 是 如影随形。 | |||

她呼出一口气，然后调整了一下坐姿，将吉他小心地放在身边，靠在了岩石上。<br>然后，她听到了一声轻轻的叮当声。<br><br>一个小 布 包掉出了她衣服内侧的口袋，落在了从沙中刺出的岩石上。<br>里面是几根针、一把小剪刀、一个顶针、几卷纺线以及一个卷尺。这是一个针线包。<br>她在刚苏醒时身上就带着它。她只能猜测这个东西是属于自己的。<br><br>她刚发现这个包的时候，心中充 满 了迷惑。她知道它是干什么用的，但不知道为什么自己会带着它。<br>当然，她“知道”里面的所有东西，但就像自己带 着 的吉他那样……并没有什么有用的线索能指出它的由来。<br><br>不过现在，当她伸出手想要捡起包时，她看到了自己的袖口，然后身形一凝 。<br><br>她……是知道的， 不 是吗？她知道怎么织出这样的袖口。她知道该如何落下针脚。<br>她知道每一个褶皱的做法。她知道这些颜色具体叫什么。她知道这些衣线就来自于这个针线包。 | |||

但除此之外就没有然后了。她可以轻松地根据逻辑得出结 论 ，但她的回忆仍然被封锁着。<br>知识与记忆之间存在着残酷的断层……这简直是一种折磨。<br><br><br>不过现在……她不会让这种断层所造成的恐惧席卷自己的内心了。她会承认它，利用它。<br>就算不记得了又怎样呢？重要的是她知道这些东西。<br><br>但是，有一个切实的目标总归 是 好的。她目前并没有目标，但也许到了某个时候，她也会找到目标。<br><br>她重新动了起来，露出一个发自内心的笑容，一边还在想着这个刚才让她整个人都僵住的针线包。<br>这还挺便利的不是么？至少在这空虚的旅行中，她能保持最佳的着装状态了。<br>想到这里……她的外套并不是很实用，但这是属于她的，她也不会因为这个世界而抛弃它。<br><br>对，这是属于她的。<br><br>它，还有吉他、针线包——在这片记忆的荒原，这些都是属于她的。<br><br>知道这些并没有什么大用，但足够她走过很长一段旅途了。 | |||

The world was no less confusing now—no less intimidating, no less empty, no less merciless.<br><br>But now, she felt like she could deal with it.<br><br>She couldn’t be sure, but she could have sworn that fear was something she was familiar with.<br>She knew things about it—how it could make your legs weak, how it could make you run away,<br>how it could prevent you from making decisions, how it could control you.<br>The fear of the unknown. The fear of failure.<br><br>And she could only assume it had been instinct that had led her to play that song.<br>Maybe she’d done it before. Maybe she’d shouted through her fear before, in much the same way.<br><br>Maybe she had. At least, now she felt like she could handle it.<br>She had a firmer grip on that twisted little emotion now.<br>If she wanted to stay sane in this baffling world, she needed to keep it in check, keep it from<br>controlling her.<br>But it would always be there. | |||
---- | |||
She exhaled, then turned in her seat and carefully put her guitar aside, laying it onto the stone.<br>Then she heard a soft clink.<br><br>A small cloth bag had fallen out of her inside pocket to the stone sticking out above the sand.<br>In it were several needles, a little pair of scissors, a thimble, a few spools of thread, and a measure.<br>A sewing kit. It had been with her when she’d first woken up. She could only assume it was hers.<br><br>When she’d first found the pouch, it had just confused her. She knew what it was for, but had no<br>clue why she was carrying it. Each of the accoutrements within was, of course, "known" to her, but<br>like the guitar she carried with her... it hadn’t come with any helpful little notes explaining where<br>it came from.<br><br>But now, when she reached down to retrieve the pouch, upon seeing her sleeve, she froze.<br><br>She... knew, didn’t she? How that sleeve was made. She knew the stitches, she knew all of the folds.<br>She knew the exact colors. She knew those threads were in the sewing kit. | |||
---- | |||
But any further connection escaped her. She could easily draw conclusions based on logic,<br>but her mind still felt closed. That cruel disconnect between knowledge and experience...<br>It was agonizing.<br><br>Now, though... Now she wouldn’t let herself be overwhelmed by the fear caused by that disconnect.<br>She would recognize it, use it. So what if she didn’t remember? What mattered was that she knew.<br><br>A concrete goal would certainly help, though. She didn’t have one yet, but maybe, in time,<br>she could find one.<br><br>A grin crossed her face as she started off again, still thinking of the kit which had just made her<br>shiver. Pretty convenient, huh? She could at least keep her clothing intact on this inane journey.<br>And with that thought... her outfit certainly wasn’t practical, but it was hers, and she wouldn’t<br>give it up for the world.<br><br>Yes. It was hers.<br><br>That, her guitar, and her sewing kit—in this wasteland of memory, they were all hers. | |||
---- | |||
Knowing that helped a little, and a little help could go a long way.<br><br>...A few steps later, something below her caught her eye.<br><br>Footprints in the sand...<br><br>But they didn’t belong to her.<br><br>Crossing her path, leading off to the left, they were definitely a few sizes off.<br>She stared the way they headed, and saw that they disappeared behind a few gentle hills.<br><br>Another genuine, familiar grin crossed her face.<br><br>Huh...<br><br>Maybe she’d had an audience after all.}} | |||

A moonless night blanketed the forest, trying to smother the fires blazing throughout its sprawling<br>verdure and the village nestled within.<br><br>Crashes and screams. Horrible sounds from horrible shapes, dark against the flames. For some, the<br>smoke-filled air was inundated with panic, driving them to run as fast as their legs could carry them.<br><br>She, however, felt enveloped in something now familiar to her: an unadulterated thrill of battle.<br><br>Her obsidian-colored sword glinted as it cleaved another of the shadowy figures. They were shaped<br>like malformed beasts, running on all fours yet fighting dexterously on hind legs. Her cut severed<br>its shoulders from the rest of its body—but before it could hit the ground, the body dissipated, as<br>though becoming smoke, before rising into the air to join the smoke from the fire. | |||
---- | |||
Save for how the beasts appeared to materialize from the smoke of the forest blaze itself, she didn’t<br>know much else about them. There was little to distinguish one from another. For all she knew,<br>killing one would simply send its essence back into the clouds, only for it to come back again as<br>though nothing had happened.<br><br>As she stabbed her ornate blade into another of the shadow-beasts, she spared a glance behind her.<br><br>The villagers were nearly through the forest to the safety of the advancing forward line of some<br>nation or other.<br><br>She needed to protect them—needed to let the thrill within her run its course.<br><br>She jumped, spanning almost a field’s length in a single leap, long hair fluttering behind her, to<br>behead another beast as it raised a smoky claw to gore a fleeing farmer.<br><br>The short, muscular woman paused her escape for just a moment to offer a gesture the<br>sword-wielder wasn’t familiar with—perhaps a sign of gratitude—before scrambling away again. | |||
---- | |||
It wouldn’t be much longer now. No matter where she found herself, no matter how advanced the<br>world’s technology and no matter what the philosophy of its people, she always had one objective:<br>slay, slay, slay—until, presumably, the enemy was gone.<br><br>Finally, the last straggler from the village made it to the line of spear-wielding soldiers. She could<br>see from here the sweat on the troops’ brows, the fear in their eyes… but she could see the<br>determination in their postures as well.<br><br>Letting down her sword at last, she exhaled a breath she hadn’t realized she’d kept, knowing what<br>was to come next. She felt the weariness hitting her quickly—and, once again, sooner than the last<br>time.<br><br>The world around her began to fracture, as though it had merely been a projected image made of<br>glass. She closed her eyes and smiled an empty smile. Slowly, she let the pale light engulf her...<br><br>...and welcome her back into the world of Arcaea.}} | |||

迷尔并不知道自己的名字，即使她在来到这个死寂世界之前有什么记忆，现在也 都 遗失了。<br><br>一块 玻璃碎片 ——就是这次将她卷入其中的那块——绕着她转了一圈，然后就飞向了远处 。<br>从经验来看，她再也见不着它了。<br>它们叫作Arcaea——这是它们的名字，她在苏醒后就不知为何地知道这一点——<br>它们似乎展示着处于某些特定状况的纷纷世界。 <br><br>她没法触碰这些碎片，但它们能对自己起效。<br>至今以来，它们已经将自己卷入其中十多次，让她参与到各种世界和事件当中，<br>并且都有着明显相同的目标：击败——不，应该是将敌人碾碎在脚下。<br><br>在每一次的经历中，都不可避免地出现一些无法与她并肩作战的人……<br>不过，比起保护他们的念头，还是战斗的渴望更让人热血上涌。 | |||
---- | |||
她能如臂指使这把苏醒时就带着的宝剑，虽然也不知道它是从哪儿来的。<br>她能感觉到，自己的剑技实在是超乎寻常。她显然能做到各个世界中的人们力所不能及的事情。<br>事实上，即使是她的敌人，在面对面的决斗中也没法造成多大的挑战。<br>她逐渐意识到，真正困难的地方还是在于是否能保护其他人。<br><br> 不过，一旦她进入战斗状态，这些想法就都被抛之脑后了。战斗让她陶醉，沉醉于暴力所带来的快感。<br><br>然而这股喜悦似乎正在以超乎想象的速度褪去，只留下空虚和疲惫，而这要花上许多小时，<br>甚至是许多天去恢复。并且，似乎每一次恢复所需的时间都在加长。<br><br>空虚的乏力感让她开始思索自己被卷入的那些世界。虽然她之前相信它们是完全不同的世界，<br>但近来又有些怀疑。感觉这更像是……她在观看某种影像，并且因为某些原因，她能够与之互动。<br>她能感觉到，真相其实显而易见，她本来应该是知道的，只是现在她还抓不到一丝头绪…… | |||

Mir did not know her name, and if she had any memories from before this dead world to<br>remember, they were lost to her now.<br><br>A glass shard—the one that had pulled her this time—briefly spun around her before shooting<br>away into the distance. She knew from experience she wouldn’t see it again. They were called<br>Arcaea—their name a fragment of knowledge from her awakening of which she did not know the<br>origin—and they seemed to show other worlds in the midst of certain situations.<br><br>She couldn’t touch the shards, but they could act on her. Over a dozen times now, they had pulled<br>her inside, bringing her into those worlds and situations, with the apparent reason always the<br>same: to defeat—no, to crush her enemies underfoot.<br><br>Inevitably, each time, there would be those unable to fight behind her... though the idea of<br>shielding them paled in comparison to the driving, blood-racing thrill of the fight. | |||
---- | |||
She was skilled with this blade she had woken up with—wherever it had come from. And something<br>told her that she was too skilled. She could clearly do things that others in these worlds couldn’t.<br>In fact, even her enemies didn’t pose much challenge for her in person-to-person combat. The true<br>challenge, she was learning, was in the protection of others.<br><br>But when she was in the fray, such concerns meant nothing to her. She reveled in the battle—let the<br>mirth of violence course through her.<br><br>That mirth, however, seemed to be draining from her more quickly after the fact, leaving naught<br>but emptiness and exhaustion that took what felt like hours, if not days, to restore. And it seemed<br>to be taking longer and longer each time.<br><br>The absence of adrenaline led her to ponder these other worlds she was being tossed into. Even<br>what had previously seemed to her to be fact, that these were other worlds at all, didn’t feel quite<br>right of late. It was almost more like... she was being shown images, ones that for some reason she<br>could act within. The answer was obvious, she sensed, as though she should have known it, yet it<br>was just beyond her grasp... | |||
---- | |||
Tired, she hefted her sword onto her shoulder and took a look around. White sand, as far as the<br>eye could see. A desert, drained of its color, mirroring how drained she herself felt upon returning to<br>it. The trail of footprints behind her were exactly as they were before the "spiriting away". Without<br>any wind, it was impossible to tell how much time had passed.<br><br>Not that time seemed to have much meaning here.<br><br>Another calling. Everything turned white again.<br><br>Abruptly, she stood somewhere else. Fields charred brown, smoke in the sky, makeshift fences<br>erected on land and trenches dug into the ground.<br><br>She looked around, suddenly exhausted. The callings had never happened this close together<br>before. And where were the weak ones—that throng of faceless actors on the stage, pointless yet<br>also perhaps the sole reason for being thrown into battle? More importantly, where were her<br>enemies?<br><br>Where was her fight?}} | |||

她冲向另一群人，那里一群身着蓝衣和红衣的两派人马正在彼此交战。<br>她迅速地做出判断，然后干掉了那些身着红衣的家伙。<br>然而在她身后，刚才救下来的那些人却被一种她从未见过的方式瞬间灭杀。<br><br>就这样消散殆尽。<br><br>在头顶上呼啸着的飞行物，如同倾盆大雨般毁灭着地上的一切。<br>那些飞行物上的徽记和身着蓝衣的人身上的一样。它们发出的火焰迅速地带走了诸多的生命。<br>难道说，它们才是该对付的敌人吗？<br><br>她深呼吸，然后向后挥动手臂，摆出发力的架势。在片刻的瞄准之后，她猛地转动身体，<br>怒吼着向空中掷出长剑。利剑划破空气朝那群飞行物飞去，然后如天国之刃般撕裂了它们，<br>在蔚蓝的天空中绽放出橘色与红色的鲜明火焰。<br><br>然后她看到一群人从飞行物中跳了出来，这让她觉得自己的所作所为依然是错误的。<br>白色从那些人的头顶和背后膨胀开来，随后下落的速度也逐渐放缓。<br>是降落伞吗？但对于红方的武器来说，这 都是 些简单的靶子而已。<br><br>战意正在，快速地消失。 | |||

疲惫又逐渐占据了她。<br><br>随之而来的还有，绝望——她对战场上的千变万化束手无力。<br><br>茫然——在犯下错误之后，她手足无措，更不知自己究竟要去击败谁。<br><br>恐惧——她害怕自己的决定会导致更糟糕的情况。<br><br>战意消失了。<br><br>就好像一位可靠的伙伴背叛了她，在她危难的关头弃她而去。<br>她双手摸索着，想要找回它。<br>怎么能没有它呢？<br>否则她可就要失去动力了，今后再也无力迈出任何一步。<br><br>她终究还是没能找回它，最后也跟那些受伤的士兵一样，双膝跪地。 | |||
---- | |||
不知多少个小时过去。<br><br>战场上的怒号已经淡去，只留下战后真正的创伤。<br><br>她双手捂住耳朵，想要隔离那些呻吟和哀叫。她闭上眼睛，想要忽略那些惨象和腥味。<br><br>她自言自语着：“这不是我的错，不是我的错。”<br><br>然而……这就是她的错。她觉得自己本来肯定是能做些什么。<br>她也许能改变些什么——想尽办法地去阻止这一切。<br><br>然而，当她思考自己能做些什么时，她发现自己无能为力。<br><br>这样的思绪不断重复，在她的脑海中萦绕徘徊不去。她感觉自己头晕目眩，心慌神颤。<br><br>最后，她的四周再次被白光笼罩，她被送回了Arcaea世界，一如往常。 | |||
---- | |||
她立刻就瘫倒在了地上，大口喘着气。<br>她的剑本来在几小时前就被扔上了天，此刻却也横着掉在她身旁， 在沙子上发出干瘪的碰撞声。<br><br>她闭着眼坐了起来，试图忘记一切，试图放空心神，试图不再理会这片纯白世界。<br><br>她来这里是干嘛的？她为什么会出 现 在这里？<br><br>自从她苏醒后，她的时间只足够拿来睡眠和思考自己之所以被召唤至此的问题。<br>但她缺失的记忆一直是心头挥之不去的阴霾。<br><br>她本来是想要干嘛的？<br><br>她想了又想，还是想不出来。 | |||

War.<br><br>Mir had experienced battle before—but never war.<br><br>She now watched people kill one another with deadly efficiency, run for their lives in fear, engage<br>in feats of true heroism, engage in displays of utter dishonor...<br><br>Every way she turned, she found those weaker than her. Innocent, terrified faces, and all too many<br>of them young. They would see her, then look away, as if recognizing her only as a hallucination, a<br>trick of the light. She nonetheless tried to protect them. They would then run to their deaths.<br><br>Every way she turned, she found enemies. Soldiers leveling weapons at disarmed foes. Terrible<br>armaments, disassociated from humanity, delivering death faster than she could have ever believed<br>possible. She destroyed them, and then more would appear on the other side. | |||
---- | |||
She jumped to yet another group of people, blue uniforms fighting against red, before making a<br>quick judgement and taking down the red ones. Behind, those people she had just protected were<br>wiped out in an instant from a strike she hadn’t seen coming.<br><br>Fading.<br><br>Vessels soared overhead, raining pure destruction down upon the lands. The vessels bore the same<br>insignias as those in the blue uniforms. Their fire swiftly took so many lives. Were they the true<br>enemy?<br><br>Taking a deep breath, she swung her arm back. After a mere moment’s pause to take aim, she spun,<br>hurling her sword into the air with a shout. The blade screamed upward at the small formation—<br>then tore through them, sending wild oranges and reds scattering through the firmament.<br><br>Then she saw the people jumping, and realized her mistake. White flared above and behind them,<br>and their descent slowed—parachutes? But they were easy targets against the red side’s weaponry.<br><br>The thrill was fading. Quickly. | |||
---- | |||
Exhaustion crept back in.<br><br>And with it, despair—hopelessness at this situation over which she seemed to hold no power.<br><br>Indecision—the uncertainty of knowing what to do after the errors she’d made, and of who it was,<br>exactly, she needed to defeat.<br><br>Fright—the fear that her decisions would lead to something even worse.<br><br>The thrill was gone.<br><br>It felt like a trusted partner had betrayed her. Left her in her moment of need. She reached out with<br>her hands, searching for it. It had to be here. She had no fuel without it. Nothing to give her the<br>strength to take another step.<br><br>Unable to find it, eventually she, like those wounded soldiers, fell to her knees. | |||
---- | |||
Hours passed. The raging battle was now dwindling, leaving behind the true horror of warfare.<br><br>She put her hands over her ears to protect herself from their moans, their yells. She shut her eyes<br>to block out the sights and smells.<br><br>It’s not my fault. It’s not my fault, she told herself.<br><br>And yet... it was, still, her fault. She surely could have done something, she thought. She could<br>have changed something—anything to prevent this.<br><br>When she tried to think about what she could have done, however, she found she couldn’t.<br><br>And that process repeated, as it had done the last dozen times. She felt her nerves fraying, panic<br>setting in.<br><br>Eventually, her surroundings whitened, and she was sent back into the world of Arcaea in the same<br>manner as all the other times. | |||
---- | |||
Immediately, she crumpled to the ground, breathing heavily. Her sword, which she’d thrown into<br>the air hours before, dropped down beside her, hitting the sand lengthwise with a dry clap.<br><br>She sat there, eyes closed, trying to forget, trying to make her mind go blank, trying to keep out the<br>sheer whiteness of this damned world’s sky.<br><br>What was she doing here? What did this world want from her?<br><br>Ever since her awakening, she’d only been given the time to ponder her summonings and to sleep.<br>But her lack of memories hung there in the back of her mind like a haunting phantom.<br><br>What did SHE want to do?<br><br>She thought, and thought, and realized she didn’t know. | |||
---- | |||
So she turned her head to look back along the sands, gazing at the long trail of footprints<br>stretching out behind her. She wished she knew where she was going.<br><br>Unbeknownst to her, however, that trail of footprints had already been joined by another, still quite<br>far off.<br><br>But for now, she prayed. She didn’t know to whom, but she prayed regardless, hoping that she<br>would be granted just a little bit of respite, now, on these empty, white dunes.}} | |||

她在齿间感受到平坦而又坚硬的表面，那种感觉对味且舒心。 | |||
<br> | |||
尖锐而带锯齿状的边角逗弄着她的舌尖。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
这是一份关于失去、绝望、失败而最终只剩下痛苦的记忆。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
但这些并不是她所会使用的词语……如果要她来说的话，她会把这样的一份记忆形容 成 “悲伤”。怀着悸动的心，她的嘴角不禁上扬雀跃 的 情绪表露无遗。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她已经可以预见这份记忆会有多么地可口。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
接着，她 大 口咬下吞没了那片玻璃。 | |||
---- | |||
“唔……”一只白黑相间（还有橘色和绿色）、长得像蝙蝠的生物在她的右手边这样说道： | |||
<br><br> | |||
“嗯，应该没关系 。 ” | |||
<br><br> | <br><br> | ||
她用臼齿将记忆的碎片咬成两 | 这位是凡斯。 | ||
<br><br> | |||
“你肚子饿了吗？”一只黑白相间（还有绿色和橘色）、长得像蝙蝠的生物在她的左手边这样说道：“饿的时候要记得跟我们说一声唷！” | |||
<br><br> | |||
这位是德莱姆。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“嗯！”她脸上洋溢着笑靥闷哼着，双手抱着脸颊。记忆的玻璃在她的牙齿之间碎裂开来，碎片和粉尘包覆了她的舌头，这股感觉好温暖。尝起来像是一道精致的晚餐，感觉是肉，带点顺口且沾了些盐的酱汁调味。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
但是她再次词穷，找不到适当的词汇来描述这样的感觉。一滴滴口水从她的嘴角倾泻而下， | |||
她唯一脱口而出用来形容这种味觉的词语，就只有“好吃”。 | |||
---- | |||
“那样很好啊，彩梦！”凡斯惊呼道，并且兴奋地拍动翅膀。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“好好吃！”她先这么说道，然后才把剩下的玻璃碎片吞进肚里。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
德莱姆拍动翅膀飘浮在她身后，满脸好奇的样子。““好吃”是吗。”它重复对方所说的话。“彩梦，所谓的“好吃”是怎样呢？” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“就好像……牛排！”说完，她便只身向前，她的“蝙蝠”伙伴则是紧跟在后。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“牛排吃起来是什么味道？” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“噢，德莱姆……”她叹气道，语调仿佛像是在跟迷路的小孩说话一样。“你怎么这么笨啊！” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“我就是不知道牛排尝起来是什么味道嘛！”德莱姆坚定地说道。“味道如何？”它问道。 | |||
---- | |||
“跟肉一样！”她说道，随即便发现身旁的异状，她从空中取了一片闪闪发光的玻璃放到手中。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“这么说，是咸的咯？”德莱姆问道。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“而且很好吃！”她提醒对方，并把这片新的玻璃直往嘴间送。这是一份关于庆祝成就、新生命和欢笑的记忆，如果以她的话来说，这份记忆名为“快乐”。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
凡斯说道：“是啊！吃了咸的食物之后，要吃点甜食，这可是基本常识哦！” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“你看吧，凡斯比你聪明多了，德莱姆。”她嗤之以鼻地说道。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“我正想要这么说呢。”德莱姆说道。“我当然知道，我本来就要这么说。 | |||
---- | |||
她吸吮着这份新的玻璃，只是心不在焉地随便回了一句“嗯哼”，接着便挥舞着手臂哼唱起来。 | |||
这片玻璃的味道和触觉都像是糖。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她们眼前是一望无际、向前延伸的白色世界。她们身后的土地，则是布满着废墟。不论是身前还是身后，都是一样的—— | |||
<br><br> | |||
不论所到何处，四周都有玻璃碎片。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
无论何处都是现成的大餐。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她用臼齿将记忆的碎片咬成两 半，这个记忆的历史就这样随风飘散。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
这个世界充满着食物，而且她从苏醒以来，就没有任何一刻不觉得饿的。}} | |||

Between her teeth,the flat,hard surfaces feel-they FEEL right,and comfortable. | |||
<br> | |||
The sharp and jagged edge tickles her tongue. | |||
<br><br> | |||
A memory of loss: of desperation, failure, and ultimately anguish. These aren't the words she'd use... She would describe this memory as "sad", herself. In anticipation, her lips tug upward with a giddiness she cannot hide. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She already knows-this will be savory. Now,she bites into the glass. | |||
---- | |||
"Ahh," utters the white and black (and orange, and green), bat-like creature at her right. "Well,that's fine." | |||
<br><br> | |||
This is Fans. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Were you hungry?" asks the black and white (and green, and orange), bat-like creature at her left. "Tell us when you are!" | |||
<br><br> | |||
This is Drem. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Mmm!" she moans with glee, holding her cheek. The glass has broken between her teeth. The shards and dust coat her tongue. It feels warm. It tastes like a fine dinner: like meat,with flowing,salt-kissed juices. | |||
<br><br> | |||
But her vocabulary is,again, somewhat limited. All she has to say to describe the taste, as a bit of saliva drops from the cormer of her mouth, is "Delicious!" | |||
---- | |||
"That's great, Ayu!" Fans exclaims, flapping its wings excitedly. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"It's yummy!" she declares before swallowing the remaining fragments. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Drem hovers behind her with some curiosity. "Huh, 'yummy'." It repeats. "What sort of 'yummy', Ayu?" | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Like... steak!"With this stated, she begins to march forward,and her "bat" familiars follow. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"What does steak taste like?" | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Oh,Drem..." she sighs,with the same intonation that she might use for a lost child. "You're so dumb!" | |||
<br><br> | |||
"I just don't know what steak tastes like," Drem asserts. "Like what?" it asks. | |||
---- | |||
"Like meat!" she declares, and-spotting something unusual-she plucks a shining piece of glass from the air. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"So,salty?" asks Drem. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"And yummy!" she reminds it, popping the new glass between her lips. It is a memory of celebration: accomplishment,new life,and mirth.She would call it "happy". | |||
<br><br> | |||
And Fans announces,"Yeah! Having something sweet after something salty is common sense! | |||
<br><br> | |||
"See? Fans is smarter than you, Drem," she says, laughing once through her nose. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"I was going to say that," says Drem. "I knew that, and I was going to say it." | |||
---- | |||
Sucking on her new glass,she absently answers "Uh-huh" and begins to hum, swinging her arms to her chosen time. The glass tastes and feels like sugar. | |||
<br><br> | |||
A world of white stretches out before them.Behind them, the land is filled with ruins. Before and behind are the same- | |||
<br><br> | |||
And everywhere,there is glass. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Everywhere,a waiting meal. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She splits the memory apart with her molars. Its history dies. | |||
<br><br> | |||
The world is full of food, and ever since she awakened, she has been ceaselessly hungry.}} | |||

她们永远都不会累，她不会，那两只蝙蝠也不会。 | |||
<br> | |||
德莱姆坐在她头上，两边的翅膀开始拍打她的脸庞。凡斯飞翔在高空，大喊有一大群一一 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“一大群……白色的东西！”她的伙伴大喊。“彩梦，是白色的玻璃！ | |||
<br><br> | |||
“甜食吗？”彩梦不顾眼前不断拍动的翅膀问道。就在她的嘴巴和鼻子还在因为咀嚼的动作而上下起伏时，第二只蝙蝠说道： | |||
<br><br> | |||
“往右边走，快！” | |||
<br><br> | |||
凡斯附和道：“没错！往右！” | |||
---- | |||
“有更多的甜食吗？”彩梦再次问道。“更多的甜食……”她发出呻吟，双肩下垂。翅膀还在轻轻拍打着她的前额。“各位，你们明明就知道我比较喜欢……你知道的……喜欢多一点食物种类……” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“根本不是那样的，好吗？”凡斯这样告诉她。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
而她则问道：“ ‘什么’ 不是怎样？”。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
德莱姆此时终于从她头上飞开。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“彩梦。”它呼唤对方，双翼不再往她脸上拍打，而是在她的面前拍动。 | |||
“你不是很饿吗？” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“我哪次不饿。”她回应道。她翻了个白眼接着说道：“来吧，德莱姆。 | |||
---- | |||
“那样的话，你还是吃份大餐比较好哦！”德莱姆大喊，激动地拍动着它的翅膀。她认得那股动能，双脚缓步向前、眼神开始游移。“那里有好多的玻——……如果吃——……更好的……那真是……还有……” | |||
<br><br> | |||
她在两旁风格迥异的建筑之间的道路上看见满满的玻璃碎片。她一眼就能看出，那些记忆里面有着快乐和痛苦在等着她。她瞥了德莱姆一眼，接着便动身往那条道路慢慢晃了过去。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“嗯哼？”她在听见其中那只比较烦人的蝙蝠尾音上扬的问句后，这样回复道。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“没错！”它大叫道。“那么一—” | |||
<br><br> | |||
她继续往前走，很快就来到刚才看到的那条道路，奇怪的玻璃碎片飘浮在头顶上方的空中。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她从玻璃的倒影中看见了过去的景象，她的肚子发出咕噜咕噜的叫声。 | |||
---- | |||
接着，她又伸手去抓了另一片不同的玻璃碎片。 | |||
一只手握住光明，另一只手掌握着纷争，彩梦将两块玻璃碎片同时往嘴里送……然后大口咬下。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
混合在一起的味道立刻就让她着了迷。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“啊……你又来了。”德莱姆叹气道，它这才发现原来对方早就没在搭理它了。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“不对、不对，这样不对。”她的蝙蝠凡斯哀叹道。“有问题的并不是这个地方，而是我们刚才提到的那一团混乱……！唉……”它叹口气，心想算了。接着，它承认道：“至少她看起来很开心。” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“嗯。”德莱姆停顿了一下才又接续着说道：“你说得对，至少她看起来很开心”。 | |||
---- | |||
确实如此，这两种味道混合在一起实在美味至极。毕竟鲜少有机会看到这两种玻璃碎片同时出现，所以她每次都会想要多把握这种机会。此地乃一宝库也，她笑得合不拢嘴。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
但是下次，她的这两只蝙蝠还会再提醒她。而且下次，她会懂得听对方的劝告。就好比玻璃碎片在齿间滑动的感觉，她发现这两只蝙蝠所说的话偶尔也是“正确”的，而这样的正确感令她感到满足。她受到满足感所驱使，并且会为了获得满足感而采取行动。这样的存在朴实无华，但存在是否还需要更多的理由呢？ | |||
<br><br> | |||
如果说倾听他人的意见与想法能够让她感到满足的话…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
又或者说如果寂静与沉默也能偶尔令她感到畅快的话…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
如果是这样，那么她愿意在短暂的片刻中张大耳朵、用舌尖仔细品味。}} | |||

They never tire: not her, nor her bats. | |||
<br> | |||
Drem sits on her head and beats its wings into her face. Fans is flying high, and shouting about crowds- | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Crowds of... white!" the familiar cries. "White glass, Ayu!" | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Sweets?" Ayu asks through the still-beating wings. As it continues to thump her mouth and nose,her second bat enunciates: | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Go.To.The.Right!" | |||
<br><br> | |||
Fans adds, "Yeah! The right!" | |||
---- | |||
"More sweets?" Ayu asks once more. "More sweets..." she groans as her shoulders sink.Wings continue to strike her forehead softly."You already know I like it more with some, y'know... That I like VARIETY more, guys..." | |||
<br><br> | |||
"That's not how it works," Fans tells her. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And she asks, "It's not how 'what' works?" | |||
<br><br> | |||
Finally,Drem lifts from her head. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Ayu," it addresses her, flapping now in front of her face rather than into it, "aren't you hungry?" | |||
<br><br> | |||
"I'm always hungry," she replies. And, she rolls her eyes, saying, "Come on, Drem." | |||
---- | |||
"Then it's better if you have a big meal!" Drem cries, beating its wings enthusiastically.She recognizes the motions, slouches slowly, and her gaze begins to drift. "There's a lot of gla-.. if you ea-...Have a better...That's...And..." | |||
<br><br> | |||
She spots a menagerie of shards on a path between two houses from two cultures.She can tell at a glance that memories of pleasures and memories of pains await her there.She glances at Drem, then starts wandering toward the path. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Mm-hmm?" she replies, hearing the upward inflection of a question from her more pestering bat. "That's right!" it shouts. "So-" | |||
<br><br> | |||
She continues to walk, and soon finds herself along the path proper, queer glass floating overhead. She sees old days in the reflections.Her stomach growls. | |||
---- | |||
And she grabs an opposing pair. | |||
<br><br> | |||
With light in one hand, and conflict in the other, Ayu brings both pieces of glass toward her mouth... and chomps down. | |||
<br><br> | |||
The mixture is at once a delight. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Aaah...there you go again," Drem sighs, finally realizing that it has lost her attention. | |||
"Wrong,wrong,wrong," bemoans her bat Fans. "It's not HERE that's a problem,it's the... The big mess we were telling you to...! Hahhh..." It sighs. It relents. And, it admits:"At least she looks happy." | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Well," Drem begins, pausing a little while before it says, "yes. At least she looks happy." | |||
---- | |||
It is only the truth: these are two tastes that taste great together. It is a rare thing to find them side by side, and so she always feels coaxed by the opportunity.What this is is a treasure trove.Now,her smile is interminable. | |||
<br><br> | |||
But after, her bats will beckon her again. Next time,she will listen.Like glass between her teeth,she finds that hearing them,sometimes, feels altogether"correct".And that correctness is satisfying.She is driven by satisfaction-she acts to the end of satiation. It is a simple existence, but does existence need to be anything more? | |||
<br><br> | |||
Ultimately,if listening might let her be sated... | |||
<br><br> | |||
And if silence will sate her too,now and then... | |||
<br><br> | |||
Then her ears will be open, and her tongue will, for a time, be still.}} | |||

充满甜味的大量玻璃碎片从视野中消失，但她们很快就又找到了一大片乌漆墨黑、看似相当美味的碎片。 | |||
<br> | |||
彩梦、凡斯和德莱姆站在一处破碎的平面，用觊觎的眼神看着下方那一团黑色玻璃，这些碎片不断旋转、搅动并抹灭光线。玻璃碎片彼此碰撞摩擦，发出的声响令人联想到悲鸣与哀号。 | |||
有关终结和殒落的记忆被囚禁着，似乎正在发出痛苦的哭喊。彩梦看着这一幕，内心充满好奇的想法。这个世界感觉好奇怪。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“彩梦。”德莱姆说道，这使她短暂将视线从这团玻璃身上移开。“飞进去吧。”这只蝙蝠鼓励她这么做。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她回答道：“好啊。”接着便从脚下的平台一跃而下。 | |||
---- | |||
她伸展双手，下落的速度瞬间趋缓。她不断碰撞到围绕在身旁的玻璃，虽然这些碎片不请自来，但她也并不排斥。她向前伸出自己的手，这股由碎片所形成的漩涡戛然而止。她呼唤玻璃来到自己的手中。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
接着，她便开始进食。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“彩梦，很好。” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“彩梦，很棒！” | |||
<br><br> | |||
她露出笑容。她皱起眉头。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
确实，她内心的饥饿感从未消散。 | |||
---- | |||
不论是玻璃、碎片还是粉尘，在她大口咬下的那个瞬间似乎都会消散无踪。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
也正因为如此，她才会如此重视味觉这件事。她在大口咬碎玻璃时，味觉几乎是她所获得的唯一回应。老实说，她常常感到自己的肚腹只是一个虚无的空间，而她则必须不断去填补那个无底洞。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
为求拥有感觉，为求体验疼痛。当然，也为了满足她那嗷嗷待哺的舌尖。她大口咀嚼、大快朵颐，亮光逐渐重返她周遭的世界。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她内心里的好奇消失了，这个世界所带来的那股奇怪的感觉也随之散去。没过多久，碎片的漩涡便消失无踪，她的舌尖空舔着自己的牙齿。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
心满意足。 | |||
---- | |||
她露出一抹灿烂的笑容。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“好棒！”她大叫道。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“对啊！”凡斯同意道。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“看起来很美味。”德莱姆也表示认同。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她并不讨厌自己的这两只蝙蝠，她内心里知道，对方只是想要逗她笑。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
它们也知道她总是有着强烈的饥饿感。 | |||
---- | |||
她降落到地面上，开开心心地向前走。她们聊到了颜色、聊到了飞行和食物。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
就是她们所在的世界，而这也正是她们之所以出现在这里的原因。 | |||
---- | |||
“那是什么？”德莱姆突然说道。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“噢……是什么呢？”凡斯跟着说道，并跟随它伙伴的目光看去。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
彩梦抬起头来，把目光移向天空。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
在她的头顶上，有一块玻璃碎片形单影只的飘浮在空中，一动也不动。它使周遭的空气发生改变，从那块碎片所倒映出的影像当中看不出任何端倪。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“彩梦，快去吃它。”凡斯说道。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“快去吃吧。”德莱姆说道。 | |||
---- | |||
彩梦丝毫没有犹豫，只是很坚定、很开心地点点头。她和她的两只蝙蝠一起向上空飞去。挂着一抹笑容的她面对着这块怪异的玻璃。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“说不定……”她一边靠近那块玻璃、一边说道：“这个或许能够填饱我的肚子。”}} | |||

They lose sight of the swarm of sweets,but soon find themselves at something wide, dark, and most probably very delicious. | |||
<br> | |||
Ayu,Fans, and Drem stand at a fractured ledge leering above a pit of black glass, which swirls, churns,and kills light.Its pieces scrape against one another,and the sound produced is reminiscent of a wail.Those confined memories of ends and falls seem to be screaming in agony. Ayu looks upon it all-in a word-curiously.The world feels odd. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Ayu," says Drem, causing her to glance its way. "Fly into it," the bat bids. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She answers, "'Kay," and she steps from the ledge. | |||
---- | |||
With her arms held out,her descent slows immediately.Glass whips around her carelessly, unbidden and unrepelled.She holds her hand out, and the vortex ceases.She calls the shards to her hand. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And so,she begins to eat. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Good,Ayu." | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Great,Ayu!" | |||
<br><br> | |||
She smiles.She frowns. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Colorful Dream Truly,the hunger never fades. | |||
---- | |||
The shards,the fragments,the dust-they all seem to vanish into nothing when she gulps them down. | |||
<br><br> | |||
It is for that reason she values taste.Cracking glass between her teeth accomplishes little else.In fact, what she thinks is a stomach often merely feels like a void she is continually compelled to feed. | |||
<br><br> | |||
For the feeling.For the ache.And,of course,for her waiting tongue. She bites,she feasts,and light slowly returns. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Her curiosity fades, and the odd sensation of the world along with it. Inlittle time, the vortex is gone, and she is running her tongue along the edge of her teeth. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Satisfied. | |||
---- | |||
She grins brightly. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"That was great!" she shouts. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Yeah!" Fans agrees. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"It looked delicious," Drem affirms. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She does not hate her bats. They want her to smile,and she knows that. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And they know her stomach is always empty. | |||
---- | |||
She lands on the earth and frolics ahead.They chat about colors.They chat about flight,and food. | |||
<br> | |||
This is the world to them, and this is why they are here. | |||
---- | |||
"What's that?" Drem speaks up suddenly. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Oh... What is it?" Fans adds, looking to where its fellow familiar is staring. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Ayu lifts her gaze to the skies. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Above,a shard of glass, entirely alone, floats still and steady in the air. It shifts that air. Its reflection is unreadable. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Eat that,Ayu,"says Fans. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Go eat it," says Drem. | |||
---- | |||
And easily,Ayu agrees with a strong and cheerful nod. Her bats take flight, and she does too.With a smile,she faces the aberrant glass. | |||
<br> | |||
"Who knows?" she says as they approach. "Maybe it'll fill me up."}} | |||

“认知”意味着什么？ | |||
<br> | |||
是我们的所想？还是我们的所见？又或者是我们的所感？亦或是我们的所闻？ | |||
<br><br> | |||
感知到的事物，就一定是真切的？ | |||
<br><br> | |||
必然如此。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
所谓的“认知”，必然是一个人透过自己的感官或是他人的说明所获得的感知。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
尤其对小孩来说，这更是个必然的真理。 | |||
---- | |||
我想要跟你介绍一个人，这个人我素昧平生，但我很确定我认识对方。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
曾经，我汇集了她的所有记忆，并且把这些记忆拼凑在一起，通过某种方式成为了一则故事…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
这个故事是这样的…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
……在某个不起眼的宇宙中，某个地处偏远的边陲地带，存在着一颗普通的星体。 | |||
<br> | |||
居住在这颗星体上的人民团结一心。那个文明下的孩童从十岁开始就有机会觉醒从出生起就潜在的能力， | |||
<br> | |||
然后一直保持这样的状态直到十七岁，可谓是这个不起眼的宇宙中相当不寻常的特质。 | |||
<br> | |||
这些孩童的所思所想，能够直接在现实世界中具现化。 | |||
---- | |||
他们不是神，但他们确实是拥有惊人能力的建筑师。他们凭借着这股超凡力量守护自己的世界。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
我们的孩子，便是这些少数拥有如此超能力的孩童当中的一个。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
那个国家的名称……我不记得了。那个世界也是……我记不清了。不过我还记得， | |||
<br> | |||
她的名字是……“维塔”。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
某天，维塔在她的房间醒来，透过头顶上的天窗看见户外昏暗的夜色。随后， | |||
<br> | |||
她身旁的朋友也纷纷醒了过来。他们互道“早安”，却是在暮色中起身。过去这两年来， | |||
<br> | |||
他们每晚都重复着这样的例行公事。 | |||
<br> | |||
他们走去洗手间清洗准备。他们谈论着最近正在收看的有声剧以及近期开始阅读的书本或漫画。 | |||
<br> | |||
他们谈论着自己的梦境。 | |||
---- | |||
维塔和其他人穿着同样的制服，在轻松愉快的交谈声中，来到了中央指挥室。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
这个宇宙正处于战争。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
各方强权争夺着孩子无法理解的事物，战火偶尔会烧到他们在外太空的领域， | |||
<br> | |||
不过这些强权大部分时候都只会彼此互相争斗。她的星球在这场战争中采取中立态度， | |||
<br> | |||
而她和其他孩童则是少数被选中的重要人物，必须负起重大使命维护这样的和平。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
那里有在天空之上战斗的男女；那里有用尽文字与决策与其他世界维稳关系的大人； | |||
<br> | |||
那里有在充满暴力和混乱的时期维护秩序稳定的外派士兵和使节；此外， | |||
<br> | |||
那里还有神经／心灵通道／网格测量（统称 NMPGM），仅些微的力量便能造成干扰， | |||
<br> | |||
而若释放全力则无可阻挡。对于其他世界的许多人来说，这样的能力就是活生生的梦魇。 | |||
---- | |||
这个部分我就不再多加赘述。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
维塔进入中央指挥室，没有多花心思去赞叹这个巨大空间的宏伟， | |||
<br> | |||
也没有在几层楼高的巨大中庭内因为像漩涡一样汹涌澎湃的混杂思绪和意念而踌躇片刻。 | |||
<br> | |||
她和她的朋友必须扮演好自己的角色，随着他们走向各自的座位，彼此的交谈声逐渐淡去。 | |||
<br> | |||
大家都能感应到彼此的心灵在背负起沉重的责任后不再如刚开始那般放松。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
他们要为了这个世界、为了和平与繁荣而奋斗——这超乎了太空中的每一片领地， | |||
<br> | |||
领地上的每一位人民。 | |||
---- | |||
她连接至NMPGM。她集中精神，透过意念让大家安静下来……然后开始着手处理她所负责的通道。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她将一切抛诸脑后，尽责致力于自己的工作。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
……直到她突然之间收到一个未知信号。}} | |||

What does it mean to "know"? | |||
<br> | |||
Is it what one thinks? What one sees? What one feels? What one hears? | |||
<br><br> | |||
Is perception what grants certainty? | |||
<br><br> | |||
Certainly. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Certainly the "known" is what one perceives, through their senses or through whatever they're told. | |||
<br><br> | |||
For a child especially, that is certainly true. | |||
---- | |||
I want to talk about somebody here: somebody whom I've never met, but whom I feel sure that I know. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Once, I gathered all of her memories and lined them up, and in a way it created a story... | |||
<br><br> | |||
This is how it began... | |||
<br><br> | |||
...In the terribly far reaches of an unremarkable universe existed a typical celestial body. Upon it, | |||
<br> | |||
its people were united. From the age of ten, the children here had a chance to awaken to something | |||
<br> | |||
they may have been born with, which would stay with them until their seventeenth year: something | |||
<br> | |||
remarkable within the unremarkable universe. What they wished and what they thought could | |||
<br> | |||
manifest within reality. | |||
---- | |||
They weren't gods, but they were unusual architects. And with their magnificent | |||
<br> | |||
abilities, they could protect their world. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Of the few boys and girls born so special, our child was another. | |||
<br><br> | |||
The country's name... I don't remember. The world's, too—I don't recall. Her | |||
<br> | |||
name, though, was... is "Vita". | |||
<br><br> | |||
Vita woke up in her room one day, and saw above her the night sky through a | |||
<br> | |||
dimmed window. As she woke, so did her friends around her. They each wished | |||
<br> | |||
one another a good "morning" and rose for the evening. They had done so every | |||
<br> | |||
night for the past two years. They went to ready themselves in the washrooms. | |||
<br> | |||
They talked about audio dramas they followed, and about books and comics they | |||
<br> | |||
would read. They talked about their dreams. | |||
---- | |||
Vita and the rest, dressed in their uniforms, walked toward the central command room, still | |||
<br> | |||
speaking frivolously. | |||
<br><br> | |||
The universe was at war. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Powers vying for things beyond the children's understanding would occasionally try to breach | |||
<br> | |||
their territory in space, but largely, those powers fought amongst themselves. Her planet | |||
<br> | |||
represented neutrality, and she and the other children were one of several essential bodies | |||
<br> | |||
tasked for maintaining that neutrality.. | |||
<br><br> | |||
There were the men and women who fought in and above the skies. There were the other adults | |||
<br> | |||
who used their words and acumen to broker good relations between her world and others. There | |||
<br> | |||
were the expat soldiers and diplomats who would ensure whatever stability could be ensured in | |||
<br> | |||
those times of violence and decay. And there was the Nerve/Mind Pathway/Grid Measure—in small | |||
<br> | |||
applications a nuisance, and in large-scale invincible and, in the opinion of many outside of | |||
<br> | |||
her world, a sleeping terror. | |||
---- | |||
I will curb the exposition and narrate. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Vita entered central command taking no pause at its grandiosity and majesty—no hesitation at the | |||
<br> | |||
cacophony of thoughts and wills swirling throughout the massive, several-storied atrium. She and | |||
<br> | |||
her friends had a part to play, and as they neared their assigned seats, their chatter naturally | |||
<br> | |||
dying, they could all hear one another's minds pulling away from the frivolous as they attuned | |||
<br> | |||
instead to their vital responsibility. | |||
<br><br> | |||
For a world of worth, for peace and prosperity beyond any other throughout all the reaches of | |||
<br> | |||
space—beyond any other within any land. | |||
---- | |||
She connected to the NMPGM. She focused down, quieted the others in her mind...and began to tend | |||
<br> | |||
to her part of the pathways. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She let nothing bother her. She did her work. | |||
<br><br> | |||
...Until it came about that she received an unknown signal.}} | |||

……前一个晚上： | |||
<br> | |||
大家在简报中听取了自己所需要知道的一切资讯。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
关于另一颗星球源源不绝的混沌、关于他们的船舰在领域之外遭到劫持的事件、 | |||
<br> | |||
关于预定在下个礼拜进行的娱乐项目…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
他们试图无视死亡的消息，而讨论着即将举办的音乐会， | |||
<br> | |||
或是开心聊着各种大大小小的成就。举例来说…… | |||
---- | |||
除了第四星球以外，另一个更友善的星系似乎总是能够自给自足。他们跟那个星系之间有 | |||
<br> | |||
个简单的交易：他们同意让那群人使用NMPGM，而作为交换，那群人需要从那颗大气扰动强烈、 | |||
<br> | |||
无时无刻都危机四伏的星球中给他们提供资源。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她的同胞心胸宽厚，至少大多数人都懂得给予和接受，这样的关系对他们很有利。 | |||
<br> | |||
人们常常会试着静悄悄地使用或入侵具有心理防卫机制的网络，以此为自己牟利。 | |||
<br> | |||
虽然维塔对此并没有太多了解，但她至少明白其中的道理：如果想要什么东西， | |||
<br> | |||
还是坦白向对方开口比较好。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她有时会询问另一颗星球的混沌究竟从何而起。在她昨晚听取的简报中， | |||
<br> | |||
有关那颗星球的消息再次出现。那是问题真正的症结点。对她来说， | |||
<br> | |||
那些因为鸡毛蒜皮的小事而引起的战争听上去都很愚蠢而且没有必要。 | |||
---- | |||
她常常说…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
“……在这个世界要找点能让自己开心的事情没那么难吧？” | |||
<br><br> | |||
记住这句话。 | |||
---- | |||
她在那天接收到了某个未知的信号…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
她加强自己负责看管的通道时听见一道声音：“西边需要协助，座标是——”<br><br>她的身体一阵颤抖，在环顾周围的其他孩童后，她意识到自己是唯一一个听见这道声音的人。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
在她使用工作站旁边的电脑输入她刚才接收到的那个座标时，她做好心理准备， | |||
<br> | |||
将自己的想法发送了出去： | |||
<br><br> | |||
“请表明你的等级和职位。你是工程部还是沟通部的人？你为什么会在外太空？” | |||
<br><br> | |||
没有人回应她的问题。她内心惶恐不安的继续执行她的勤务，并且时刻注意着通讯的来源。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
良久过后，对方终于做出回应。 | |||
---- | |||
“你听得见我？等等——难道说真的成功了吗？” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“既然我能听得见你的声音，那么想必你应该知道要怎么‘说话’吧？你不会是超能力者吧？” | |||
<br><br> | |||
她停顿了一下。这样的想法……令人感到背脊发凉。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她告诉对方：“我会保持你的信号畅通，然后把你转接到指挥官那——” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“等等！你应该是NMPGM 的其中一位建筑师，对吧？你来自那个中立国家……！” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“这不是大家都知道的事情吗？”她回覆道，扰人的情绪开始在指尖蔓延开来。 “开始转接——” | |||
---- | |||
“果…果然跟我想得一样！你们这些自大狂妄的家伙，我就知道这样行不通！ | |||
<br> | |||
为什么要派我来做这种事情啊……” | |||
<br><br> | |||
她不经意缓缓捏了一下自己座位边的扶手。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“我并不自大狂妄。”她回覆道。 “我不清楚你是用什么方法入侵的，但他们一定会查清真相。 | |||
<br> | |||
我必须警告你，你最好不要来招惹我们的网络和人民。如果你害我们违反中立原则， | |||
<br> | |||
我们一定会让你付出代价。知…知道了吗？” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“但如果你们先自己动手了呢？”对方问道。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她的语气听起来被惹毛了：“你说什么？” | |||
---- | |||
“我是说，如果你们先害自己违反中立原则呢？” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“从来没有发生过这种事，往后也不会发生。” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“看样子你从来没有听过彼得罗呢。” | |||
<br><br> | |||
她本来正准备回话，但她紧接着意识到自己确实没有听过这个名字。 | |||
---- | |||
“我要切断这次通讯了。”对方说道。 “但我还会回来。你们的网络这么发达， | |||
<br> | |||
那自己去搜一下’彼得罗‘啊，你那边应该没有搞审查制度这种东西吧？ | |||
<br> | |||
毕竟那里应该是片好地方嘛。再见。” | |||
<br><br> | |||
通讯到此结束。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她的心跳得很快，赶忙在旁人察觉异样之前返回到工作岗位。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她没有听过彼得罗，但明天早上她打算去一探究竟。}} | |||

...The night before: | |||
<br> | |||
Through their briefings, they were informed of what they needed to know. | |||
<br><br> | |||
About the disorder continuing on another planet, about the hijackings of their vessels within foreign | |||
<br> | |||
space, about the entertainment planned for later in the week... | |||
<br><br> | |||
They tended to ignore the death, and discuss coming concerts—or they tended to talk happily of | |||
<br> | |||
accomplishments. For example... | |||
---- | |||
A friendlier system beside the fourth planet out always seemed to help their own. They had a simple | |||
<br> | |||
deal with that system: allowing this other society to utilize the NMPGM while they provided resources | |||
<br> | |||
from that perpetually dangerous planet with a turbulent atmosphere. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Her society was magnanimous, mostly: give, receive—such relationships served them well. Often, | |||
<br> | |||
people tried to use or infiltrate the psychically guarded networks quietly, for their own gain. | |||
<br> | |||
She did not know much, but Vita at least knew that if you wanted something, you were better off | |||
<br> | |||
simply asking for it. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She sometimes asked what that other planet's disorder—the planet she'd been briefed on again the | |||
<br> | |||
night before—what its disorder truly stemmed from. To her, their fighting over what sounded like | |||
<br> | |||
lost and easily forgettable grudges sounded foolish, stupid, needless. | |||
---- | |||
She'd often say... | |||
<br><br> | |||
"...It's not like it's hard to find things in this world to be happy about." | |||
<br><br> | |||
Keep this in mind. | |||
---- | |||
That day she received an unknown signal... | |||
<br><br> | |||
As she fortified the part of the path she was charged with, she heard, "west and | |||
<br> | |||
seeking aid. Coordinates are—" | |||
<br><br> | |||
And as she flinched, and as she looked around her at the other seated children, | |||
<br> | |||
she realized that she was the only person hearing this voice. | |||
<br><br> | |||
As she entered the coordinates she was given into the computer beside her<br>workstation, she steeled herself and sent out a thought: | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Rank and designation? Are you in Engineering or Communications? Why are you | |||
<br> | |||
offworld?" | |||
<br><br> | |||
Her questions were answered with silence. She nervously continued her duties, | |||
<br> | |||
ever mindful of the source of the transmission. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And eventually, it answered again. | |||
---- | |||
"You can hear me? Wait—it actually works?" | |||
<br><br> | |||
"If I can hear you, you should know how to 'talk'. Are you not a Psychic?" | |||
<br><br> | |||
She paused. That was... a rather unsettling notion. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She told the other voice, "I'll be keeping your signal open and bridging<br>you to the commanders of—" | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Wait! You have to be one of the architects of the NMPGM, right!? From | |||
<br> | |||
that neutral country...!" | |||
<br><br> | |||
"There's nowhere that wouldn't know that," she answered, irritation creeping | |||
<br> | |||
over her fingers. | |||
"Initiating bridge—" | |||
---- | |||
"J-Just like I thought! The whole lot of you are arrogant—I knew this wouldn't work! | |||
<br> | |||
Why'd they assign me for it..." | |||
<br><br> | |||
Unintentionally, she slowly pinched at her armrest. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"I'm not arrogant," she replied. "Whatever infiltration methods you're using, they're | |||
<br> | |||
going to be found out. I must inform you that our network and people aren't things you | |||
<br> | |||
want to play with. If you break us out of neutrality, we break you. U-Understood?" | |||
<br><br> | |||
"What happens when you break it first?" asked the voice. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And her voice was delivered with a hiss: a sharply sent, "What?"<br> | |||
---- | |||
"I said, what happens when you break your neutrality first?" | |||
<br><br> | |||
"That's never happened, and it wouldn't happen." | |||
<br><br> | |||
"So you've never heard of Petorh." | |||
<br><br> | |||
And when she made to reply—she realized that she hadn't. | |||
---- | |||
"I'm closing this transmission," said the voice, "but I'll open it again. Use your vast | |||
<br> | |||
networks to search 'Petorh'—they don't censor everything over there, right? You're | |||
<br> | |||
supposed to be a good place. Goodbye." | |||
<br><br> | |||
And so the transmission ended. | |||
<br><br> | |||
With her heart beating, she returned to her work before any disruption could be noticed. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She hadn't heard of Petorh, but she would look into it when the sun rose again.}} | |||

有件很重要的事情，任何活着而且会思考的生物都应该牢记…… | |||
<br> | |||
……那就是“真相”和“知识”……并非每次都是相同的两件事。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
维塔收到信号的时间点，是在所谓“周末”的几小时惬意时光的前一天。在那之后连续两天， | |||
<br> | |||
她腾出自己的空闲时间在基地的图书馆使用加密信号搜索互联网，<br>这种信号加密原本的功能是掩护她和她的朋友在寻找被禁游戏、<br>美术作品和影片时不至于留下痕迹。大家从来没把它用在正事上过…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
不过，由于彼得罗故事的关系，她很感谢自己有这个原本被大家当作是 | |||
<br> | |||
“玩具”的东西帮助，因为她从未听说过这般严肃而危险的题材。 | |||
---- | |||
…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
我要在这边特别提一下。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
我并不记得我来自哪里。我只“记得”其他 Arcaea 居住者的记忆， | |||
<br> | |||
特别是那些在虚无中的记忆。不过，这次的事件还是很容易回想起来…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
在任何你所能想到的世界中，要找到某个象征着“恐怖”的事物都并不困难。 | |||
---- | |||
在她出生的二十年前，正值 NMPGM 的扩张时期，当时的人们发现了名为彼得罗的小行星， | |||
<br> | |||
但却没有去重视它。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
大约在四百年前，那颗小行星被移民级的星际飞船发现，对方当时因为母星的大气消散而被迫逃离家园。 | |||
<br> | |||
那艘飞船停靠在小行星上，并建立了“彼得罗”……但这一切都没有被官方承认过。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
在没有文件纪录的情况下，彼得罗循着不规律的运行轨道漂泊在荒芜的外太空。 | |||
<br> | |||
这颗小行星并没有被遗忘，因为自始自终根本没有人知晓它的存在。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
在那之后又过了好几百年，她的这个世界也发现了这颗小行星，但大家并不知道小行星上面住着一群人， | |||
<br> | |||
于是便使用 NMPGM 的力量迅速摧毁了大半的小行星。而这个决定的结果就像是…… | |||
<br> | |||
使用炸药过后的下场。小行星有一半汽化，而原本居住在上面的人口 | |||
<br> | |||
直接锐减三分之二。 | |||
---- | |||
彼得罗人向她的世界提出抗议。维塔这边星球的消息来源缺少有关这方面的纪录。 | |||
<br> | |||
根据其他星球的传闻指出，她的世界私底下派出秘密组织掩盖消息，消灭受害者的声音。 | |||
<br> | |||
彼得罗人后来决定跟某颗帝国行星建立联盟，大家都知道这个帝国有着会接受投降者的传统…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
这件事维塔还记得很清楚。听说她的世界曾在某个地处偏远的太空地带爆发了一场……“小冲突”。 | |||
<br> | |||
据说当时帝国派出部队与她世界的部队交战。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
不过，她家乡以外的其他任何消息来源都给出了完全不一样的说法： | |||
<br> | |||
“因为帝国与某个未经正式授权的垦荒者结盟， | |||
<br> | |||
同时也为了消灭对方存在的事实并掩盖自身所犯’错误‘的痕迹， | |||
<br> | |||
他们动用 NMPGM 使某个星区塌缩，杀死了残存的彼得罗人，连一部分的帝国人也跟着陪葬。” | |||
<br><br> | |||
虽然许多消息来源都采用此一说法，但最后真正说服她相信事实真相的， | |||
<br> | |||
还是来源于她自己世界内部网络最深层的那两页报告。 | |||
---- | |||
真相……的开端：她这个采取中立态度的世界，其实只是表面上中立。为了达成所谓的“和平”， | |||
<br> | |||
像“彼得罗”这种类似的故事不在少数。其中许多案例的开端甚至还不是“无意”的疏失， | |||
<br> | |||
有一部分人认为彼得罗的事件也绝非意外。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
……当然了，这些事情她都没有跟其他人提起。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
当然了，等到假日结束之后，她还是像往常那样正常工作。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
当然了，她决定要去找那个未知的信号赴约。 | |||
---- | |||
“我是最后仅存的彼得罗人之一。”对方说道。 “我们只不过是想要逃离罢了。” | |||
<br><br> | |||
逃离那个名为联盟关系的奴隶制度—— | |||
<br><br> | |||
逃离这个混乱的星系—— | |||
<br><br> | |||
逃离她的星球及其无可比拟的影响力。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“我听说他们的孩童能透过心灵建立通道。我…我们……”对方的声音在颤抖。 “我们就在想， | |||
<br> | |||
说不定孩子能够理解……那些在位者不屑一顾的事情。” | |||
<br><br> | |||
她问道：“你们想要什么？” | |||
<br><br> | |||
对方给出答覆：“我们只想要一条出路。我们……我们听说…这…这个 NMPGM 区通常很安静， | |||
<br> | |||
而且我们知道这个地方地处偏远。我们可以……我们有足够的飞船， | |||
<br> | |||
说不定能到其他的星系去找适合居住的地方，或者是……” | |||
---- | |||
对方告诉她，彼得罗人在受到帝国联盟关系……实质是被奴役的期间，发现帝国正在偷偷研发科技， | |||
<br> | |||
打算监视那些维护 NMPGM 的头脑。他们当时窃取了那个技术。在走投无路、山穷水尽的情况下， | |||
<br> | |||
他们心甘情愿与维塔分享这件事，即便他们知道维塔必须将这样的情报回报给上级。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
但是彼得罗人当初与帝国建立的“联盟”关系，如今已经毫无意义。 | |||
<br> | |||
对方坚称这里的任何事物都没有意义，他们一心只想逃离这个地方。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她很轻易就能满足对方的这个心愿。现代飞船只要一眨眼的工夫就能飞到九霄云外， | |||
<br> | |||
如果能有通道提供超光速旅行则更是如此…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
只要抓准时机速战速决送走对方，应该不会留下什么痕迹……吧？ | |||
<br><br> | |||
是啊…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
她愿意这么做。 | |||
---- | |||
但是——你知道吗？事情是这样的： | |||
<br><br> | |||
NMPGM 过去被用来使星区塌缩，杀死残存的彼得罗人，根本就没有任何漏网之鱼。 | |||
---- | |||
维塔透过通道以外的“视野”自然是能看见飞船，但凭借她的力量有办法辨认出对方是什么样的飞船吗？ | |||
<br> | |||
有办法清楚看清飞船的外观吗？有办法判断飞船的大小吗？ | |||
<br><br> | |||
不行。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她无从知晓。 | |||
---- | |||
当维塔替准备逃离的“彼得罗人”开启通道时…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
……那些通道中瞬间涌入了帝国的战争飞船。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
你还记得那些飞船在通道中的移动速度有多快吗？ | |||
<br><br> | |||
对对方而言也是一样的…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
现代飞船只要一眨眼的工夫就能飞到九霄云外，如果能有通道提供超光速旅行则更是如此…… | |||
---- | |||
在战争飞船进入 NMPGM 后，对方发动迅速且全面的攻势，她的星球根本无力抵抗。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
看样子帝国手上掌握着许多情报，知道每个超能力基地的所在位置，并且优先摧毁了这些重要设施。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她世界的地表很快便遭到轰炸。当下并没有太多时间能够反应，不出几个小时， | |||
<br> | |||
她的世界基本上已经面目全非。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
尽管他们并没有束手就擒—— | |||
<br><br> | |||
曾经有人尝试反击、尝试接通到另一个信号、尝试尽可能摧毁来犯的敌军船舰—— | |||
<br><br> | |||
但绝大多数情况下，充斥着的只有绝望…… | |||
---- | |||
恐惧…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
自我厌恶…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
火海、战栗、惊恐，这里已然就是地狱…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
他们在这场游戏中“奋战”，但他们所采取的第一个行动，其实早就已经决定了最终的胜负。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
从上方袭来的炮弹标示出她基地的所在位置……<br><br>……然后，终结了她、她的上级还有她朋友们的生命。 | |||
---- | |||
…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
在那之后，这位女孩在一片洁白的世界终醒来，眼眶中噙着泪水。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
……不过，她并不明白自己为什么流泪，也无法解释胸口中所感受到的莫名疼痛。 | |||
---- | |||
她跟我们所有人一样，都失去了生命。她跟我们绝大多数一样，都没有前世的记忆。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
我不禁在想，她如何解释自己流泪的行为呢？ | |||
---- | |||
我想，她在拭泪起身的时候，是否能感受到除了伤痛以外的事情？ | |||
<br><br> | |||
比如说愧疚感。亦或是责任感。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
……我想并非如此。或者我应该这么说：她不应该有这种情绪，也不应该觉得自己有错。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
毕竟，所谓的“认知”到底是什么呢？ | |||
<br><br> | |||
她现在所“认知”到的事情……什么也没有。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
而且……随着这则故事来到结局，在她起身面对这个玻璃世界的同时， | |||
<br> | |||
我们不免还是要提出这个疑问…… | |||
---- | |||
…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
……她是否曾经认知过任何其他的事？}} | |||

An important fact that any living and thinking being should keep in mind... | |||
<br> | |||
...is that "truth", and "knowledge"... are not always necessarily the same thing. | |||
<br><br> | |||
It had been the day before an ease of hours—the "weekend"—when Vita received | |||
<br> | |||
the signal. For the following two days, she spent her free time within the base's | |||
<br> | |||
library and searching through the inter-network through a signal encryption she and | |||
<br> | |||
her friends typically used to find games, artwork, and videos forbidden to them | |||
<br> | |||
without leaving a trace. It was never for anything serious at all... | |||
<br><br> | |||
The story of Petorh, though, made her appreciate that tool they thought of as a "toy" | |||
<br> | |||
far more than ever, for never had a more serious subject become known to her, nor ever | |||
<br> | |||
one so dangerous. | |||
---- | |||
... | |||
<br><br> | |||
I'd like to make a note here. | |||
<br><br> | |||
I don't remember where it was I came from. I only "remember" the memories of others | |||
<br> | |||
within Arcaea, and particularly within the Void. Still from this, it's easy to gather... | |||
<br><br> | |||
It isn't hard at all to find something to call "dreadful" in any world you can think of. | |||
---- | |||
Twenty years before her birth, during the NMPGM's expansion, a planetoid named Petorh had been | |||
<br> | |||
discovered and pushed aside. | |||
<br><br> | |||
About four hundred years prior, the planetoid had been discovered by an Exodus-class starship | |||
<br> | |||
fleeing a dissipating atmosphere on their home world. The ship docked there and established | |||
<br> | |||
"Petorh"... unofficially. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Without documentation or declaration, and with an irregular orbit, within desolate space, | |||
<br> | |||
Petorh wasn't forgotten—for it was never known. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Her world then discovered the planetoid itself, and without knowing of its habitation, used | |||
<br> | |||
the might of NMPGM to swiftly devastate half of it. The result was something like... the | |||
<br> | |||
utilization of dynamite. Half the planetoid was vaporized, and with it went two-thirds of | |||
<br> | |||
the native population. | |||
---- | |||
The Petorhans sought counsel with her world. Sources from Vita's planet lacked records of | |||
<br> | |||
these pleas. Other planets spoke of theories suggesting the involvement of clandestine | |||
<br> | |||
organizations from her world silencing any petitions. The Petorhans formed an alliance with | |||
<br> | |||
an imperial planet, known for adopting cultures at their surrender... | |||
<br><br> | |||
And Vita did remember that. Her world had supposedly engaged in a... "skirmish" on some | |||
<br> | |||
distant edge of space. Supposedly the Imperium had struck force against the forces from her | |||
<br> | |||
world. | |||
<br><br> | |||
However, source, after source, after source from anywhere other than her homeland claimed | |||
<br> | |||
something very different: "Because of the Imperium's alliance with an unregistered group of | |||
<br> | |||
squatters, and in order to eliminate information of their existence/the existence of their | |||
<br> | |||
world's 'mistake', they used the NMPGM to collapse a sector of space, killing the remaining | |||
<br> | |||
Petorhans—and some of the Imperium for good measure". | |||
<br><br> | |||
And while those many sources told this tale, it took two pages from the deepest sections of | |||
<br> | |||
her own world's inter-network to convince her of the truth. | |||
---- | |||
The... beginning of truth: the reality that her neutral world merely wore a neutral mask. In its | |||
<br> | |||
reach for "peace", stories like "Petorh's"... were not at all few in number. Most, even, did not | |||
<br> | |||
begin "accidentally"—and there were some who thought the tale of Petorh, too, had started in the | |||
<br> | |||
same way. | |||
<br><br> | |||
...Naturally, she kept this all to herself. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Naturally, she returned to work when usual working days began once more... | |||
<br><br> | |||
Naturally, she engaged the unknown signal again. | |||
---- | |||
"I am among the last Petorhans," it said. "We only want escape." | |||
<br><br> | |||
From an alliance that had in fact brought them into what amounted to slavery— | |||
<br><br> | |||
From the chaos of this entire galaxy— | |||
<br><br> | |||
From, especially, her planet and its overwhelming reach. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"I heard that they had children minding the pathways. I—we—" the voice stammered, | |||
<br> | |||
"we thought maybe a kid could understand... what people at the top wouldn't ever bother to." | |||
<br><br> | |||
She asked, "What do you want?" | |||
<br><br> | |||
To which the voice replied, "Just one way out. What we... We've heard—this—this part of | |||
<br> | |||
the NMPGM is usually quiet, and we know it's very far out. We could... We have enough | |||
<br> | |||
ships that we could probably find another place with other stars, or..." | |||
---- | |||
The voice told her that during their alliance—really just enslavement—to the Imperium, | |||
<br> | |||
the Petorhans had discovered that the Imperium had been developing technology to spy on | |||
<br> | |||
the minds supporting the NMPGM. They'd stolen that technology, and being so desperate and | |||
<br> | |||
so burned, they had no issue sharing that fact with Vita—who, of course, would need to report | |||
<br> | |||
this information. | |||
<br><br> | |||
But the "alliance" the Petorhans had made with the Imperium now meant nothing. Nothing | |||
<br> | |||
here meant anything; as the voice insisted, they only wanted to escape. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And she could easily grant it. Modern-day ships could travel with almost instantaneous speed, | |||
<br> | |||
especially with the faster-than-light travel provided by the pathways... | |||
<br><br> | |||
One quick opening, and a quick jump—off the record...? | |||
<br><br> | |||
Yeah... | |||
<br><br> | |||
She would allow it. | |||
---- | |||
But—did you know? This is true: | |||
<br><br> | |||
The NMPGM was, in fact, used to collapse a sector of space, killing the remaining Petorhans. | |||
<br> | |||
None at all were left. | |||
---- | |||
Vita's "sight" outside of the pathways could certainly see ships—but could she, with her power, | |||
<br> | |||
identify the KIND of ships? The true, non-vague shape? The size, even? | |||
<br><br> | |||
No. | |||
<br><br> | |||
What could she have known? | |||
---- | |||
When Vita opened the path for "Petorhan" escapees... | |||
<br><br> | |||
...those paths were flooded instead with Imperium warships. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And do you remember how fast ships could move through those paths? | |||
<br><br> | |||
This is also true... | |||
<br><br> | |||
Modern-day ships could travel at an almost instantaneous speed, | |||
<br> | |||
especially with the faster-than-light travel provided by the pathways... | |||
---- | |||
Once the warships had navigated the NMPGM, the attack on her planet was swift, | |||
<br> | |||
thorough, and unable to defend against. | |||
<br><br> | |||
It seemed the Imperium had plenty of intelligence informing them of the locations of | |||
<br> | |||
Psychic bases, as they mostly destroyed those first. | |||
<br><br> | |||
The surface of her world was bombarded quickly. There was little time to react, and in | |||
<br> | |||
a matter of hours, nearly everything had been. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Though they did try— | |||
<br><br> | |||
There was an attempt—to fight back in time, to reach that other signal, to destroy as | |||
<br> | |||
much of the invading fleet as possible— | |||
<br><br> | |||
But, mostly, there was only despair... | |||
---- | |||
Dread... | |||
<br><br> | |||
Self-hate... | |||
<br><br> | |||
Amidst fire, fear, terror, and Hell itself... | |||
<br><br> | |||
They "fought" in a game where their own first move had already sealed their defeat. | |||
<br><br> | |||
A cannon from above marked the position of her base... | |||
<br><br> | |||
...and ended the lives of her, her superiors, and her friends. | |||
---- | |||
... | |||
<br><br> | |||
The girl woke up in a world of white after, with tears brimming in her eyes. | |||
<br><br> | |||
...However, she had no knowledge that might prompt them—no known | |||
<br> | |||
reason in her head for the pain inside her chest. | |||
---- | |||
She was dead, like all of us. She didn't remember, like most of us. | |||
<br><br> | |||
So I wonder what it was she thought of her tears. | |||
---- | |||
I wonder if, as she wiped them away and stood, she felt anything other than sorrow. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Guilt, maybe. Responsibility. | |||
<br><br> | |||
...I don't think that's the case. Or maybe what I mean to say is: she should not feel that way. | |||
<br> | |||
She shouldn't consider herself to have been in the wrong. | |||
<br><br> | |||
After all, what does it even mean to "know"? | |||
<br><br> | |||
What she "knows" now is...nothing. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And...as this story comes to a close, as we think of her getting up and facing the world of glass, | |||
<br> | |||
I think it's very pertinent to ask... | |||
---- | |||
... | |||
<br><br> | |||
...Had she ever known anything else?}} | |||

黑暗笼罩着一切，吞噬着一切。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
只知道不断地啃食，粘腻而又肮脏。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
光明即使到来，也是短暂的，顷刻便被吞噬。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
这片广茂大地，吟唱着这破碎之心的歌谣。 | |||
<br> | |||
万籁俱寂之时，她苏醒于无边无际的黑暗。 | |||
---- | |||
一抹红擦亮了整片漆黑。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
在虚无中，依莉丝苏醒过来。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
女孩撑起身，放松舒展了一下自己的身体。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
虚无紧随着她，如粘腻的焦油一般难缠。不过女孩还是振作了起来，将自己与纠缠不放的东西解离。 | |||
<br> | |||
她自由了，她的发丝，她的身体，她的衣着，都自由了。她的双脚感触到了切切实实的大地。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
一抹光束在她的身下展开，而她跪坐于其上。|她的大衣披在她的肩上，恰如其分。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她不知晓自己是谁，也无从得知自己所在何处。 | |||
<br> | |||
依莉丝起身，看着周遭空洞无一物的景象，蹙起了眉。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
脑海中不知为何浮现了这样一个称呼，一个地点：Arcaea...... | |||
<br> | |||
也不知为何，她清楚现在所在的地方并不是Arcaea。 | |||
<br> | |||
Arcaea是一座天堂，不属于她的天堂，她并非诞生于那里。 | |||
---- | |||
在一片混乱之中，她开始迈步向前。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
脚下，一条步道延伸开来。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
世界正不断地塑形、改变，依莉丝前方的道路也正不断随着她的想法而发生变化：或顺从，或抵抗。 | |||
<br> | |||
她并不焦虑，也不担忧。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
如果，这里是她的地盘...... | |||
<br><br> | |||
那么一切都不足为惧。 | |||
<br> | |||
因为她，是这里的主人。 | |||

Shadow creeps through all that exists here. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Stains it, sticky and foul. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Light wanders in for but a moment, and is then swallowed whole. | |||
<br><br> | |||
This is the expanse that tells of a shattered heart. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And in that quiet place, she opens her eyes to the dark. | |||
---- | |||
Deepest red shines through the black. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Ilith awakens there, in the Void. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Embedded in a strange layer of "nothing", the girl lifts up her body—stretches herself from it all. | |||
<br> | |||
Like tar, the nothing catches her. Nonetheless she pulls forth and snaps away from the clinging mass. | |||
<br> | |||
Her hair, her body, her clothes are freed, and she puts her feet to the ground—the ground which, now, | |||
<br> | |||
exists. A platform of light appears beneath her, and she kneels upon it. | |||
---- | |||
The coat over her shoulders settles. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She does not know who she is. She does not know where this is. | |||
<br> | |||
As Ilith stands, she frowns into the emptiness around her. | |||
<br><br> | |||
A name rings inside her head—a place: "Arcaea"... | |||
<br> | |||
And yet she also knows... this is not there. | |||
<br> | |||
"Arcaea" is a paradise... and one she was not born into. | |||
---- | |||
She sets forth into the chaos. | |||
<br><br> | |||
A pathway forms underneath her. | |||
<br><br> | |||
As the world turns over onto itself and the path she walks bends with (and often against) her whims, | |||
<br> | |||
no caution, no anxiety burdens her heart. | |||
<br><br> | |||
If this is her place... | |||
<br><br> | |||
...then it is hers, and nothing to fear. | |||

冲出黑暗、去往天堂的道路豁然开朗，不是一条光明的道路，但无妨，至少是一条路。不过， | |||
<br> | |||
依莉丝并不着急迈步。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
Arcaea在那里，所以她便动身前往，纯粹因为事实，而不是念想。在路途中她更加了解了那是个什么地方， | |||
<br> | |||
也知晓了一些关于Arcaea的过去。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
那里有一堆傻乎乎的女孩子，其中一个蠢到满脑子只有美好和光明，另一个倒是蛮惊艳， | |||
<br> | |||
不过她的勇气却让她的道路布满荆棘、崎岖不平。当然了， | |||
<br> | |||
在Arcaea世界里的女孩子可不止这两个——大把大把的女孩在其中无精打采地闲逛， | |||
<br> | |||
看着飞舞的玻璃碎片茫然地笑。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
对她来说，如果要笑的话，那不如就大胆张扬地笑就好了，哪怕是坏坏地。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
能透过它看见什么东西的窗遍布依莉丝周围，通过这些窗，她不断地了解这些人们，这个雪白的世界， | |||
<br> | |||
依莉丝不禁感到怜悯。 | |||
<br> | |||
这样一个逻辑分明的世界都搞不明白，她们肯定过得不怎么样。 | |||
---- | |||
她在虚空之中呆了足够久，她隐约感到了自己与Arcaea和虚空本身的联系。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她知道，自己是特别的，自己是与众不同的。因为其他人苏醒的时候都有白光欢迎着他们，而她没有。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“就像这样......”依莉丝经过一扇发光的窗户时小声嘀咕道。窗中映衬着一个戴着单片眼镜的女孩， | |||
<br> | |||
依莉丝之前见过她。“你今天又打算干嘛？还是自言自语吗？” | |||
---- | |||
这窗跟着依莉丝一起向前，出于无聊，依莉丝便继续观察那个女孩。 | |||
<br> | |||
戴着个单片眼镜的女孩差不多跟依莉丝同一时间清醒过来，醒来后大部分时间都在自说瞎话。 | |||
<br> | |||
“……” | |||
<br> | |||
依莉丝沉默不语。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
不过现在，女孩做出了一个新的举动。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“......?” | |||
<br><br> | |||
只见那个女孩抬起手，用玻璃创造出了一个小小的造物。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
依莉丝沉默了，停下了脚步。此前跟随她的窗这时已经散去、消失，可她还是没迈开步子， | |||
<br> | |||
而是在原地沉默不语。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
过了许久，她囔囔道：“啊......我竟然没想到还可以这样。” | |||
---- | |||
不过，她才不会给自己创造一个所谓的“伙伴”，她不需要这种东西。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
依莉丝抬起手，一小部分虚空随之开裂。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“当然......”她轻声说道。 | |||
<br> | |||
一声笑从她的嘴角滑出，紧接着是一句冷冷的低语：“因为它们都属于我。” | |||
---- | |||
这是一个什么样的世界呢，当你敞开怀抱，接受世间所给予你的一切，你就能得到它的全部。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
这种情况她已经见了太多次了。她不禁责备自己：自己怎会觉得虚空就会不同呢？ | |||
<br> | |||
她的脚下不是生出了道路吗？前方的道路不是因她的意念铺开来了吗？ | |||
---- | |||
见前为地平线所在，一个人便会追赶。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
见前为高山之所在，一个人便会攀爬。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
当你发现你可以生火，你的内心就会燃起欲望的火焰。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
于是在刹那之间，一个充满亵渎意味的愿望便诞生了——仅仅是出于好奇力量可以做到什么地步， | |||
<br> | |||
她便立下誓言： | |||
<br><br> | |||
她，黑暗的造物，将会让黑夜降临这日不落之地。 | |||

There is a way to paradise out of the dark. It is in no way illuminated, but it is surely there. | |||
<br> | |||
However, there should be no misunderstanding this one fact: she has no urge to go. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Arcaea" is there, so she reaches for it—not out of desire, but out of fact. As she goes, she even learns | |||
<br> | |||
more of that place, and, perhaps, of its history. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Arcaea" is a world of fool young girls. One is dumb with a head full of light, another is impressive, | |||
<br> | |||
though her bravery guides her down a thorned path. Of course, that is only two. There are so many | |||
<br> | |||
others: wandering about listlessly and watching dancing glass with vacant smiles. | |||
<br><br> | |||
If you're to wear a smile, wear it strongly—wear it wickedly. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Knowing" them through scattered windows to a world of white, Ilith feels a sense of pity for the lot. | |||
<br> | |||
They can't even make sense of a sensible world; they'd never fare well here. | |||
---- | |||
She spends very long in the Void, and in it she feels connected, both to that "Arcaea" and to the Void itself. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She knows herself to be unique. She knows herself to be different. | |||
<br> | |||
All others have light to greet them upon awakening. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Like this one..." she mutters as she trudges past a glowing window. In it is the sight of a girl who sports | |||
<br> | |||
a monocle: a girl that she's seen before. "What are you up to today? Talking to yourself again?" | |||
---- | |||
The window follows Ilith as she walks. Bored, she continues to watch. The girl with a monocle has been | |||
<br> | |||
awake for about as long as Ilith, and most of that time has been spent prattling | |||
<br><br> | |||
"..." | |||
<br><br> | |||
But now, the girl does something different. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"...?" | |||
<br><br> | |||
She lifts her hand and makes a little being out of glass. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Silent and stopped for several moments, Ilith remains even after the window fades away. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"...Oh, well, that's…" she breathes after a while. "I can't believe I hadn't thought of that." | |||
---- | |||
She will not make a companion; she doesn't need such a thing. | |||
<br><br> | |||
When Ilith lifts her hand, a small part of the Void breaks. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Of course..." she whispers. She chuckles, then. Another cool whisper: "This is all mine." | |||
---- | |||
In this world, should you embrace what it gives, then it will give all of itself to you. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She has seen this so many times. She chastises herself for thinking it might be any different out in the | |||
<br> | |||
Void. Did not paths appear at her feet? Did not a way forward manifest by her will? | |||
---- | |||
Like when one sees a horizon, and seeks to reach it; | |||
<br><br> | |||
Like when one sees a mountain, and sets out to climb it; | |||
<br><br> | |||
Like finding that you can set a fire, and having fire flare up within your heart subsequently... | |||
<br><br> | |||
At once, a profane wish manifests in her heart for no other reason than to see what can be done with | |||
<br> | |||
"power", and she soon vows this: | |||
<br><br> | |||
She, a being of the dark, will bring nightfall to the land of endless Sun. | |||

当然，如此壮观的场面可不是一下就能成功的。依莉丝打算养精蓄锐，将所有的精力都专注于这件事情之上。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
一段时间过后，她变得愈发自信了起来。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她站立于飞舞漂浮的玻璃碎片之中。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“就是那里！” | |||
<br><br> | |||
她向前挥手，将远处的一扇窗关闭。 | |||
<br> | |||
一条狭窄的泛着白光的通道随之倾塌，失去了光亮，化作了一袭黑烟。 | |||
<br> | |||
“好了......”她小声说道。 | |||
---- | |||
虚空很大程度上并不符合常理，但就算如此，它也会遵循一些“法则”。 | |||
<br> | |||
它由黑暗组成，一种飘忽不定的物质，顷刻形成，顷刻消散。 | |||
<br> | |||
它不受引力影响，所谓的方位的存在是极为短暂的，因为其在黑暗中毫无意义。 | |||
<br> | |||
它吸收思想以构筑自己的结构，即使是潜意识也可以在黑暗中创造出一条路径来。 | |||
<br> | |||
它的上限没有意义：离边缘太近，就会被吞并，魂飞魄散。 | |||
<br> | |||
而Arcaea却总是出现在虚空之中，非常急迫，仿佛孤注一掷一般，透过这些“窗”——换言之，通道， | |||
<br> | |||
显现出来。 | |||
---- | |||
女孩攥紧了拳头，雾气缭绕于她的指尖。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她紧盯着自己的手，集中注意力。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“......” | |||
<br><br> | |||
她摊开手，一片玻璃碎片漂浮于其上。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“嗯......”她喃喃自语。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
难道，像这样“碰触”这片雪白的世界，玻璃就会诞生吗？ | |||
<br> | |||
就算两者之间真有关联，也不会是必然的吧。 | |||
---- | |||
她屡次与那个世界擦肩而过。有的时候，她能感觉得到，那是一种类似快乐或温暖的感觉， | |||
<br> | |||
一路从指尖流淌到她的手臂上，让她的手指颤抖。她知道如果这时做点什么的话， | |||
<br> | |||
一段记忆就可能会诞生于她的掌心。但是这只是可能，因为有些时候这种感觉会消失，最后什么都没留下。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
现在这份记忆存放的是关于什么宠物的回忆，她转过头去，不再看向记忆，让它缓缓飘走了。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她有着控制虚空的力量，但却不如那个戴着单片眼镜的女孩子拥有控制Arcaea的能力那样显著。 | |||
<br> | |||
她不甘地咬紧了牙。 | |||
---- | |||
好像她对于那份连接的感觉是正确的，只不过相比起往其中注入意念，更像是她有着能操控这个世界的力量， | |||
<br> | |||
就像控制一场风暴那样——风暴已至，来势汹汹，不可阻挡，但你有着调控它的力量：或是将其吸收， | |||
<br> | |||
或是将其调转方向。 | |||
<br> | |||
她看见过关于狂风的记忆，那种力量宣告着死亡，因此，她觉得用狂风来比喻就十分恰当。 | |||
<br> | |||
虚空就像是一场风暴的中心，力量围绕着其旋转。这种感觉她十分熟悉，一直以来， | |||
<br> | |||
她都是这种感觉——这种渴望不断吸引和承载力量的感觉。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她现在知道自己有关闭一扇窗、一个通道的力量了。当她感觉到空气在震颤时，她便明白： | |||
<br> | |||
一部分虚空可以被“打破”。打破它就可以让它安定下来，让它变得“听话”， | |||
<br> | |||
这样她就可以塑造出黑暗。她可以造出属于自己的窗，虽然没有真的这么做过，但至少她是这么认为的。 | |||
<br> | |||
因为先前她总是没把握好机会，但这次机会就在眼前，她确信这次自己可以做到。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她想做的是什么呢？她才不会乖乖走到Arcaea那个世界去——她会强行开出一条捷径，直达那里。 | |||
---- | |||
虚空翻滚着。 | |||
<br> | |||
她的脊背一阵发凉，依莉丝狠狠瞪了一眼周遭的黑暗。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
黑暗静止了，继而断裂开来。诡异地，世界突然就正常起来了。她扬起了嘴角。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
正是时候。也太巧了点，或许黑暗太过于喜欢她了。 | |||
<br> | |||
依莉丝抬起手抓住她面前的空气，空气实化了，宛如一片纸张。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她用力把黑暗往后一推，踏入了一片光亮之中。她的瞳孔因此收缩，她笑了起来。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
一扇窗就是这么由人力产生的。她将黑夜与虚空撕开，白日的世界便出现在她眼前，一览无遗。 | |||
<br> | |||
从空中俯瞰一切，视角绝佳。光线充足到刺眼，未免太充足了点。一股气流忽然吹来， | |||
<br> | |||
一如脚下的世界正怒吼着，企图反抗这暴力十足的行径。 | |||
---- | |||
“......听话！”她呼唤着虚空的应援。黑暗如藤蔓般爬上她的手臂，翻腾着在她的手中汇聚成一股气旋。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
就是现在—— | |||
<br><br> | |||
她收回手，然后向前，将黑暗化作利刃切向光明。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
窗应声而碎，白黑其间，如流星一般坠落，化作洪流将她一并带离了那个地方。 | |||

Of course, something so monumental could take an age to carry out. She decides to hone what she has, | |||
<br> | |||
and spends a great deal of time dedicated to the task. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And after that time passes, she becomes rather confident. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Now, she stands beside some errant pieces of floating glass. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"...There!" | |||
<br><br> | |||
Casting her hand forward, she \"shuts\" a window from afar. | |||
<br> | |||
A wispy and white portal collapses in on itself, loses light and is crushed into black smoke. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Alright..." she mutters. | |||
---- | |||
The Void is largely nonsensical, but even it follows rules. | |||
<br> | |||
It is comprised of darkness: a kind of impossible matter that is at once there and not. | |||
<br> | |||
It lacks any concept of gravity, and all direction is transient. | |||
<br> | |||
It seeks structure from thought, for even subconscious thought can grant a pathway through the black. | |||
<br> | |||
It has a worthless limit: an edge that can snatch away one's soul should they draw too near to it. | |||
<br> | |||
And finally, "Arcaea" attempts to manifest here often, and shows itself—almost as if desperate—through | |||
<br> | |||
these portals, or "windows". | |||
---- | |||
The girl clenches her fist. Wisps crawl between her fingers. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She stares at her hand. She concentrates. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"..." | |||
<br><br> | |||
Her fingers unfurl, and a glass shard now floats above it. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Hm..." she moans. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Is there a correlation between "touching" the white world like that and the glass manifesting? | |||
<br> | |||
If so, it isn't a consistent thing. | |||
---- | |||
She "feels" it sometimes, when she brushes against the other side. A feeling, something akin to bliss or | |||
<br> | |||
warmth, courses through her arm. Her fingers tremble. If she acts in that moment, a memory may | |||
<br> | |||
appear in her palm. Only "may"... Other times, the feeling passes, and there is nothing. | |||
<br><br> | |||
What has shown itself now is a memory of some pet. She turns her head and lets it drift away. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She has power over the Void, but it isn't as clear-cut as the monocle girl's power over Arcaea. She grits | |||
<br> | |||
her teeth. | |||
---- | |||
She was right, it seemed, about that sense of connection. It's less like exerting will; it seems more to her | |||
<br> | |||
that she can bend the world like one might conceivably bend a storm. The storm is already there, and it | |||
<br> | |||
came about on its own. It's unstoppable, and powerful, but you have some power to "push" at it–to | |||
<br> | |||
siphon it, or redirect it. From the few memories she's seen of death-bringing squalls and overwhelming | |||
<br> | |||
typhoons, it seems an appropriate comparison. The Void is often more like the eye of a storm, but there | |||
<br> | |||
is definitely power surrounding it. That, she feels—always. She feels a vector to "power". | |||
<br><br> | |||
She has learned that she can close a window now and then. She knows that when she feels a tremor | |||
<br> | |||
through the air, part of the Void can be "broken". Breaking it settles it—brings it to heel for more. She can | |||
<br> | |||
shape darkness then. She can make windows of her own—or, she thinks she can. The opportunity has | |||
<br> | |||
always slipped by her, but...the opportunity is there, she's sure of it. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And what she wants to do, rather than walk the way to Arcaea, is force her way through— | |||
<br> | |||
to have a shortcut. | |||
---- | |||
The Void churns. | |||
<br> | |||
A shiver runs down her back, and she fires a glare at the surrounding shadows. | |||
<br><br> | |||
It all goes still. It snaps, and the world feels suddenly, oddly, ordinary. A smile cuts across her face. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Convenient timing. Perhaps too convenient? Or perhaps she's garnered more favor from the dark. | |||
<br> | |||
Ilith lifts her hand and grabs at the air before her. It goes solid like a sheet. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And violently she pulls it aside, grinning as her pupils shrink to sudden light. | |||
<br><br> | |||
This is how a window is created. She rends the Void apart, and the World of White appears before her— | |||
<br> | |||
all of it. This is a vantage point in the sky... The light is almost painful. Air suddenly rushes out. The world | |||
<br> | |||
groans and rebels. | |||
<br> | |||
The World of White is here—through an impassable window. | |||
<br> | |||
Always, always impassable. Until, that is, today. | |||
---- | |||
"Come on...!" she calls to the Void. Darkness crawls up her other arm like vines, twisting and melding into | |||
<br> | |||
a maelstrom over her hand. | |||
<br><br> | |||
This is the opportunity— | |||
<br><br> | |||
She draws her hand back, and forcefully strikes the dark against the daylight— | |||
<br><br> | |||
—and, like that, the window shatters. It explodes with light and shadow, falling away like glass, sending | |||
<br> | |||
her tumbling through. | |||

“愿望”是一个好词，真诚而又美好，有着希望和期许那般的光明质感，还有一种获得胜利的感觉， | |||
<br> | |||
但是她的愿望呢？ | |||
<br><br> | |||
对于一个诞生在黑暗之中的女孩来说，她的愿望是什么样的？既不是真诚，也没有期许。 | |||
<br> | |||
那会是嫉妒吗？惧怕呢？ | |||
<br><br> | |||
都不是。她的愿望，只是为了她自己罢了。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
而她也有罪，其名为傲。 | |||
---- | |||
下坠过程中，虚空拉扯着依莉丝，光明也将她一并吞没，破碎的空间碎片散开在她周围。 | |||
<br> | |||
离地面还有不少的距离。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
窗合上了。阴影包裹着她，几近绝望，但尚存一息。她任其翻转于身旁，任其与她合二为一， | |||
<br> | |||
她的坠落宛如一片不断下坠的风暴。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
一颗灰暗的荒星孤独地下坠着，但她却禁不住灿烂地微笑起来，内心暖洋洋的。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
在黑暗中，下坠的“荒星”旁，一颗红色的彗星也同样在不断坠落，想必她也是笑容灿烂、 | |||
<br> | |||
心满意足吧，但依莉丝对此视若无睹。即便她察觉到了，也不会看哪怕一眼。 | |||
---- | |||
因为她实在是欣喜若狂。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
依莉丝向着地面不断坠落，笑着，混于黑影之间。她实在是欣喜若狂。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她将手伸向云彩，云彩翻滚着虚空的力量，这力量向前冲去，却还是没能抓住天空。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
但黑暗是多么想抓住光明啊。她是多么想抓住天空啊。 | |||
<br> | |||
她细细品味着这种渴望，再次将黑暗的力量带向前——千万束黑影直指苍穹。 | |||
---- | |||
然后，她便捉住了云彩。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
而后，她又抓住了天空。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她合起双手，一只手臂扯向一边。火光闪烁着，黑暗翻涌着，准备接住这颗从天而降的荒星。 | |||
<br> | |||
黑红色的女孩，和夜晚一并降临了。 | |||
---- | |||
光明向其折服，云层为其分开，新的天空从其中渗出，洇染开来，迅速将半片大地覆盖在了新生的斑驳之中。 | |||
<br> | |||
一抹黑自虚空之中降下，一束红从云层之中迸出。 | |||
<br> | |||
自此，白昼邂逅了星夜。 | |||

The word "wish" is sincere and beautiful. A word that carries with it the bright light of hopes, and some | |||
<br> | |||
idea of inevitable triumph, and yet... | |||
<br><br> | |||
What possesses the heart of the girl born in the dark? It can't be sincerity. It can't be hope. | |||
<br> | |||
Is it envy? Is it dread? | |||
<br><br> | |||
No. Her wish was for herself. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And her sin is pride. | |||
---- | |||
The Void grabs at Ilith as she falls. Light, too, engulfs her all at once. Shards of space are scattered around | |||
<br> | |||
her. It is still miles down to the earth. | |||
<br><br> | |||
The window closes. Shadows all surround her, desperate, and still for a moment alive. She lets them | |||
<br> | |||
swirl around her. She lets them become her, and the sight of her is that of a descending, storming cloud. | |||
<br><br> | |||
A lone dark star descends, but her smile is bright, and her heart is full. And before the dark can leave her, | |||
<br> | |||
Ilith bids it stay with her, allows it to darken her. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And in the dark, she is blind to a red comet falling near, smiling near, and also satisfied. Even if she could | |||
<br> | |||
see it, she would not look. | |||
---- | |||
For she is rapturous. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Ilith falls toward the earth swaddled in shadows, laughing. She feels simply rapturous. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She reaches her hand out toward the clouds, now fully writhing with the Void's power. That power | |||
<br> | |||
lashes forth once, but fails to grasp the sky. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Yet it wants to. She wants to. | |||
<br> | |||
She embraces the feeling, and casts out the dark again, | |||
<br> | |||
calling forth so many limbs of shadow, racing to the firmament. | |||
---- | |||
And soon, the clouds are caught. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Soon, the heavens are seized. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And she closes her hand. With flamboyance and flare, she tears her arm to one side, and shade billows | |||
<br> | |||
below her, ready to catch her safely. | |||
<br><br> | |||
As the girls in red and black fall, so too does the night. | |||
---- | |||
The light yields, the clouds part, and a new sky bleeds out from behind it, quickly taking half the earth in | |||
<br> | |||
new and twinkling shade. | |||
<br><br> | |||
A drop of obsidian fell from the Void. A crimson light cut through the clouds. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And there, and then, night met with day. | |||

梦是不会这么真实的。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她是这么觉得的，但是，这只可能是在做梦吧——姹紫嫣红，大地洇染上颜色；山高谷深，江河奔涌于其间； | |||
<br> | |||
银装素裹，飞瀑凝结至半空……都是多么令人难以置信的景象啊。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
仿佛有高人在此地施展了仙法，仿佛如此绚烂只能存在于虚幻之中，但并不——这并非什么奇迹， | |||
<br> | |||
也不是什么梦境。尽管令人如痴如醉、流连忘返，稍加思索也还是能知晓其中奥秘： | |||
<br> | |||
最令人震撼的奇观也不过是在最简单的自然法则下诞生的。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
如此一来的确说得通：她回想起学校课堂上学到的那些知识：关于植物如何生长、水如何循环、 | |||
<br> | |||
温度如何影响环境等等，这些景观是如何产生的完全可以得到合理可靠的解释。 | |||
---- | |||
但漂浮于空中的玻璃碎片……？她不曾记得在任何地方听闻或学习过任何相关知识。因此， | |||
<br> | |||
这又只可能是一场梦，一场奇幻的梦。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
少女站在悬崖顶端，第一次将这纯白的世界尽收眼底：苍白而又静止的广袤大地上矗立着不少建筑， | |||
<br> | |||
有的笔直，有的歪斜；它们早已被废弃，尘封于历史这厚重的卷轴中。少女的脑中浮现出它们的名字： | |||
<br> | |||
“Arcaea”，但有关这个名字的一切，她都不曾了解。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
当然，还有另一种名为“Arcaea”的东西：那些漂浮在空中的、 | |||
<br> | |||
反映着其他地方的其他人们的事迹的玻璃碎片。这些碎片里存储着的影像一眼看去就像在观赏电影， | |||
<br> | |||
虚幻而不真实……这不过是一场梦而已，这一定是一场梦。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
但，又怎可能有如此真实的梦呢。 | |||
---- | |||
“……” | |||
<br><br> | |||
少女沉默了。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
时间静静流淌了一阵，直到少女突然哆嗦了一下，好似突然有什么点醒了她。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“对哦，我明白了！”她出神的惊呼声从山顶一路传到山脚，“我一定是在做‘清醒梦’！” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“恍然大悟”的一瞬间，她便兴奋地跳起来了。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“天啊，那不就是说……我、我可以……”她捂着嘴，惊诧而又惊喜地小声慢慢吐出自己一直以来的心愿， | |||
<br> | |||
“我可以飞起来了？！” | |||
<br><br> | |||
说罢，她便迫不及待地迈步，来到悬崖边上，抬脚—— | |||
<br><br> | |||
然后立马把脚缩了回去。 | |||
---- | |||
“停停停！你在想什么啊！”她拼命摇头，尬笑着自言自语道。抬脚的那一刻，她感到一阵眩晕。她害怕了， | |||
<br> | |||
害怕自己会掉下去。虽然这世界不是真的，但给人的感觉却是如假包换。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“哎呀！”她有些恼火地叹气道，“但好不容易才能做一次清醒梦啊！” | |||
<br> | |||
这是她第一次清醒地知晓自己在做梦。想想看，清楚地知道自己在梦中却还没醒来， | |||
<br> | |||
这得是多么难得的一个好机会！这意味着你可以自如控制和操纵梦境的走向，做想做的任何事： | |||
<br> | |||
颠覆常理，扭转乾坤，冉冉飞雁鸟般，栩栩然蝴蝶也，一切皆有可能。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
可惜的是，这位少女对“自我”的感知过于强烈。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她明白自己根本就不会什么魔法，也不是什么飞鸟，更不是什么蝴蝶。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她，奈美，只是一个普通到不能再普通的高中生罢了。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
于是，她放弃了。找到下山的路后，她便转身，开始沿着道路下行。 | |||

Dreams don't tend to feel so real. | |||
<br><br> | |||
This is the conclusion she comes to—and yet, it must be a dream. There are incredible sights to be found | |||
<br> | |||
in the waking world: fields of flowers painting a solid color over the entire expanse, enormous caverns | |||
<br> | |||
and canyons carved through the earth by mere rivers, water frozen mid-fall in winter to make miraculous | |||
<br> | |||
towers of shimmering ice... | |||
<br><br> | |||
Miraculous though they seem, they are not miracles. Dreamlike though they seem, they are ever reality. | |||
<br> | |||
While these sights arrest the mind, heart, and imagination, they are, with thought, explainable. They | |||
<br> | |||
are aspects of nature made possible by basic processes of the world... | |||
<br><br> | |||
What's more, an understanding of them is easily within reach, and she clearly remembers those grade | |||
<br> | |||
school classes that taught her about plant growth, the water cycle, the effects of temperature... | |||
---- | |||
But this is a miracle. This is a dream. No class, no lecture, and no amount of reading has ever told her | |||
<br> | |||
about, or explained to her, the magic of glass flying through the sky. | |||
<br><br> | |||
The girl bears witness to the world of white for the first time in its entirety, standing on a cliff which | |||
<br> | |||
overlooks the abandoned, or perhaps archived, buildings standing across the pale and still earth, some | |||
<br> | |||
straight, some crooked. "Arcaea" is the name in her mind, but no "Arcaea" exists within her memory. | |||
<br><br> | |||
The shards of glass float through the air reflecting other people and other places, many of which at a | |||
<br> | |||
glance seem like movies—surreal, like fantasy. These, too, are "Arcaea". Watching it all, she knows it must | |||
<br> | |||
be a dream. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And yet, dreams don't tend to feel so real. | |||
---- | |||
"..." | |||
<br><br> | |||
She is silent for a moment. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And then she flinches, a shock running through her. That of realization—that of another name. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"That was it!" she yells over the landscape. "It's a 'lucid dream'!" | |||
<br><br> | |||
And at once, the girl grows excited. She bounces on her heels. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Can I? C-Can I...?" she whispers, loosely holding her hands before her chin—her mouth. "Can I—fly!?" | |||
<br><br> | |||
She puts her foot over the cliff's edge— | |||
<br><br> | |||
And she stops there. | |||
---- | |||
Shying away, she squeals and shakes her head wildly, smiling to herself and asking, in her thoughts, just | |||
<br> | |||
what is she thinking? "Noooo! No, no, no! Stop that! Ahhh!" she whines, fear and giddy elation muddled | |||
<br> | |||
inside her. The fear of falling had entered her gut in the moment she'd taken that step. The world is not | |||
<br> | |||
real, but it feels like it is. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Ahh!" she moans, irritated. "But I've never had one before!" A lucid dream: actualization amid sleep. To | |||
<br> | |||
dream and, in the awareness that you're dreaming, gain incredible power over "reality": to fly through the | |||
<br> | |||
sky, to experience the world as a bird or butterfly, to wish... | |||
<br><br> | |||
But what a shame—her realization of her "self" seems to be directly in the way. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She is not a witch or wizard. She is not a bird or butterfly. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Her name is Nami, and she is an ordinary high school girl. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She searches the area, finds a path leading down, and begins to descend. | |||

如果不能仅凭意念改变自己、重塑世界的话， | |||
<br> | |||
那不如就利用这段时间好好看看沿途这些代表着自己潜意识的风景吧，她如此想。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
缓缓沿着步道下行，她观察起了道路上的碎玻璃，它们铺满了这片雪白的世界中的每一条道路。 | |||
<br> | |||
伸手想去触碰这些碎片的时候，它们往往会远离你，但当你觉得它们烦了，它们又跟你作对似的靠近。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
一如往常，每块碎片中都储存着一段影像，大部分都平平无奇，但也有不少甚是奇特，比如这片： | |||
<br> | |||
一群身着长袍之人的双手间是璀璨而又艳丽的色彩；又比如这片：她于其中窥见一处悬崖，一座山谷， | |||
<br> | |||
与现在她所在的地方相似，但颜色相反。两位长着犄角的人，也可能是恶魔， | |||
<br> | |||
正站在高处俯瞰一片发光的能量漩涡…… | |||
---- | |||
“真壮观啊……”她感叹着，伸手想抓住碎片看得更仔细些，不料却遭到了碎片的拒绝。她蹙眉，哼了一声， | |||
<br> | |||
不甘地继续沿路下行。怎么自己的梦，自己说的还不算了呢。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
虽然这单色的世界她是第一次梦到，但她确实不是第一次走在悬崖边。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她从小就在一个多山的国家长大，对这些绿色植被覆盖着的山脊和高耸到与蓝天相接壤的森林再熟悉不过。 | |||
<br> | |||
对这些唾手可得的景观，她从不感到好奇和向往，但有次假期她也跟她朋友一家人在山中度过了美好的时光。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她抚摸着沿途的石墙边走边想：这些白色的石头，应该并不是石灰岩吧？她回忆了一下地理课上学过的东西， | |||
<br> | |||
岩石的种类都有哪些来着？岩浆岩、沉积岩、变质岩……？她知道的不多。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
反正对她来说，上课和做实验永远都不如学校的其他活动令人受益匪浅：体育活动能强身健体， | |||
<br> | |||
弹奏乐器能陶冶情操，相比起来，一块破石头能好玩到哪里去？ | |||
---- | |||
但不可否认的是，她的确被这陌生而又壮丽的景象深深吸引。“难怪不由得想起了之前上的地理课……” | |||
<br> | |||
她喃喃自语。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
路途中她发现，玻璃碎片在漂浮至她前面的墙时突然消失了，就好像穿了过去，或是前方有个拐角， | |||
<br> | |||
又或者—— | |||
<br><br> | |||
“没错，是一个洞窟！”寻得答案的一瞬间，她惊叫出声，下一秒就迫不及待地踏进了洞穴之中。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
真是太酷了，没有什么能比大山洞还要酷。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她毫不犹豫地从中迅速穿过，极度兴奋的心情溢于言表。这些玻璃好像也在引导着她， | |||
<br> | |||
跟随着她的脚步一同上上下下，不断地加速。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
一路走到底，映入眼帘的是一个宽广开阔的中庭， | |||
<br> | |||
难以想象看似陡峭狭窄的悬崖之下竟存在着这么宽敞的地方。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
在那里，她寻得了另一个奇迹。 | |||

If she cannot change the world or herself despite her awareness, then she may as well enjoy some | |||
<br> | |||
exploration of her subconscious mind while still consciously aware. | |||
<br><br> | |||
This is the conclusion she comes to as she walks down from the cliff where she previously stood. | |||
<br> | |||
Like any path one can find in the world of white, this one is lined with coy glass; it leans away | |||
<br> | |||
from one's touch, yet leans in against anyone's wishes. She can see well the sights within them—most | |||
<br> | |||
are ordinary but, again, many are strange. | |||
<br><br> | |||
In one she sees what can only be called magic: shows of color sparking and smoking between the hands | |||
<br> | |||
of people in robes. In another she can see a cliff and valley similar to where she is now, though | |||
<br> | |||
reversed in color. A pair of horned humans—or maybe, demons—looks out over a glowing | |||
<br> | |||
cyclone of energy... | |||
---- | |||
"Cool..." she breathes. She reaches out to see this scene more closely—yet, again, this glass forbids her | |||
<br> | |||
touch. She frowns, grumbles, and reluctantly continues making her way down. For her own dream, it really | |||
<br> | |||
doesn't seem to care about her input or will. | |||
<br><br> | |||
While this colorless world is a first experience for her, she has walked on a cliffside before. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Her country is a mountainous one. She's familiar with green ridges—forested horizons bordering Heaven— | |||
<br> | |||
that she can go to, if she ever wants. She's rarely wanted to, but at the least, she's spent a vacation day | |||
<br> | |||
within one with a friend and that friend's family. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She keeps her hand to the white rock wall beside her now, and thinks—though it's white, it isn't limestone, | |||
<br> | |||
is it? She thinks about what she knows of geology. She doesn't know much. What are the categories again? | |||
<br> | |||
Porous, sedimentary, metamorphic... | |||
<br><br> | |||
For her, school has been valuable outside of its classrooms, not during any lectures or labs. Sports are fun. | |||
<br> | |||
Playing instruments is fun. Rocks are not. | |||
---- | |||
Still, though, she can't deny the fascination brought by an alien landscape. She mutters, "No wonder I'm | |||
<br> | |||
thinking of rock class..." | |||
<br><br> | |||
While moving down she comes to notice glass disappearing into the wall out ahead of her—as if it's phasing | |||
<br> | |||
through, or there's a corner, or— | |||
<br><br> | |||
"A cave...!" she exclaims as soon as she comes up to it. She enters just as quickly. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Nothing cooler than a cave, she thinks. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She runs through heedlessly, thrilled. The glass seems to guide her, bouncing with her steps, flying faster | |||
<br> | |||
and faster the further she goes... | |||
<br><br> | |||
She goes to the end—to a great and wide atrium. To a place she's not sure could even conceivably fit within | |||
<br> | |||
the cliff she'd been standing on just minutes ago. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And there, she finds another miracle. | |||

仅凭「意念」，就能创造世界吗？ | |||
<br><br> | |||
有一种思想将感知等同于现实。它认为，如果你知道自己是什么，那么你实际上也就是什么。如若此为真， | |||
<br> | |||
又该如何解释“不知周知梦为蝴蝶与，蝴蝶之梦为周与”呢？ | |||
<br><br> | |||
不论你给出怎样的答案，你都不能否认，是你的全部认知构筑了自己眼中的世界， | |||
<br> | |||
因此你的这些认知多多少少也是对现实——也就是世界——的真实反映。世界存在于你的意识中， | |||
<br> | |||
那么这些过去的时日和所思所想又能否连系起来，创造出一个全新的事物呢？ | |||
<br><br> | |||
想到这里，她明白了：这里是一个承载着过去的档案馆。 | |||
---- | |||
这洞窟的内部可真是够大的，就像一个不为人知的巨大的图书馆——不，如果只是把它简单地称作 | |||
<br> | |||
“图书馆”，难免也太小瞧它了。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
越往深处走，少女越觉得她像是在经过一扇扇于无意间敞开的“天堂之门”， | |||
<br> | |||
透亮的光和玻璃碎片从那里倾泻而出，自动为少女铺开了一条螺旋形状的通路， | |||
<br> | |||
指引着她继续前往山中洞窟的最深处。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
而这所谓的最深处，同时也是无休止地收集和分类不计其数的「思想」的源头。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
不断有嵌着新想法的玻璃碎片从她的身后飘来，万千碎片折射出来的光从上方点亮了这个巨大的空间。 | |||
<br> | |||
当她继续迈步向前时，她发现她之前看错了：这向下延伸的道路根本就不是由玻璃构成的， | |||
<br> | |||
而是由纯白色的鹅卵石铺就而成。沿路往下瞧，这座山的内部布满了杂乱无章的人造建筑。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
看来，这个地方可以说既是也不是命中注定的啊。 | |||
---- | |||
由万千折射光束点亮的耀眼的世界正邀请着她。她踏上延展向下的鹅卵石路，走过螺旋的楼梯、 | |||
<br> | |||
岩架和侧面的塔。不断有玻璃碎片从空中漂浮下来跟随着她，落于她的身边，她的肩上。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
玻璃碎片折射出的光打在她的肌肤上，温暖而不刺眼。她在一处内墙边停下，抬起手至于胸前， | |||
<br> | |||
平整一下呼吸，然后抬头—— | |||
<br><br> | |||
“哇……” | |||
<br><br> | |||
她由衷地感叹道。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“我真是太喜欢这里了……” | |||
---- | |||
一片孤零零的碎片自万千玻璃组成的“花海”中剥离，飘落于她的掌心。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她的瞳孔中倒映着碎片中的景象：一个由浪涛和水花构筑的世界。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她深深地吸了一口气。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她是多么渴望能亲自去那里一探究竟啊。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
——而这个世界，一个并非梦境却胜似梦境的地方，将会实现她的心愿。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
当她心中泛起想要与玻璃碎片产生连接和共鸣的想法时，当她敞开怀抱去欢迎这个世界的“侵入”时—— | |||
<br><br> | |||
这个名为Arcaea的世界，也接纳了她。 | |||

Could you "think" a world into being? | |||
<br><br> | |||
There are circles of thought that equate perception with reality. If you know what you are, then that is what | |||
<br> | |||
you are. If you dream of being a butterfly, do you become a butterfly? Or, of course, are you simply a butterfly | |||
<br> | |||
that's dreaming of being human? Regardless... | |||
<br><br> | |||
What you know encompasses your world, so fragments of what you know are pieces that comprise reality— | |||
<br> | |||
a world. You carry your world in your mind. If those thoughts and feelings and days gone could be made | |||
<br> | |||
physical, could you link them together and create something new? | |||
<br><br> | |||
All of this comes to mind as she witnesses what seems to be just that. An archive—a record... | |||
---- | |||
The inside of the earth has spread out into a secret library that is far too big. To even call it something as | |||
<br> | |||
simple as a "library" does it no justice. | |||
<br><br> | |||
As the girl walks deep into the earth, it's as if she's come across Heaven's gates, and those gates have | |||
<br> | |||
opened unprompted. Light and glass fly out before her in a spiraling, crystal pathway leading to the hollow | |||
<br> | |||
core of the mountain, and from there glass arranges itself. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She finds herself in an ever-sorting, ever gathering home of almost infinite "ideas". | |||
<br><br> | |||
From behind her, new ideas set into glass drift in. Above her, light from glass illuminates the gargantuan | |||
<br> | |||
space. When she steps forward, she finds that her eyes have tricked her; the path lit below is not glass, | |||
<br> | |||
but an impossible and white cobblestone way. The inside of this mountain has been fused with a mishmash | |||
<br> | |||
of man-made architecture. | |||
<br><br> | |||
At once she knows that this place both was and wasn't meant to be. | |||
---- | |||
The dazzling world around her is inviting, and as she steps down new stone ways and past spiral staircases, | |||
<br> | |||
shelves, and sideways towers, shards of Arcaea come down to her, following at her shoulders. | |||
<br><br> | |||
The light from those glass shards warms her skin. She stops beside an inner wall, brings her hands before | |||
<br> | |||
her chest, and breathes as she looks above herself. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"...Wow." | |||
<br><br> | |||
She exhales that word, out from her heart. And after— | |||
<br><br> | |||
"I think I love this place..." | |||
---- | |||
A single piece of glass comes down from the flowering walls of shards. It comes to rest above and between | |||
<br> | |||
her palms. | |||
<br><br> | |||
In its reflection is a world of waves and water. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She gulps. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She wants to go there. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And this world—this dreamlike place that is no dream—will grant that wish. | |||
<br><br> | |||
As her wants resonate with glass... as she accepts the encroaching world... | |||
<br><br> | |||
...the world of Arcaea also accepts her. | |||

梦中梦？不，不太可能。这应该是—— | |||
<br><br> | |||
还没缓过神来，波光粼粼的橙色的海水便将她包裹——这是日落时分的暮光的杰作啊。她向后潜入水中， | |||
<br> | |||
将万千浪花留在上方。她完全没入水中了。与此同时她十分惊奇地发现，出于某种原因， | |||
<br> | |||
自己竟能在水下呼吸。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
无数思想淌进她的脑海。虽然有着身临其境之感， | |||
<br> | |||
但它们并非她的思想——过去有人也曾在这片水域中体验着她现正体验的一切。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
他们可真是有福之人啊。 | |||
---- | |||
清凉的海水，温暖的暗流，四周温和的搅动，都令她情不自禁地嘴角上扬。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“这到底是什么地方啊？”她大声地说出了自己的疑问，她的声音在流体中传播得更为清晰。她恍然发觉， | |||
<br> | |||
自己并非孤身一人。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
五颜六色的鱼群聚集于她的身旁游动，奈美回过头，看见了“她”所熟知的那个人：一个小孩子。 | |||
<br> | |||
只见她轻松地朝奈美游来，朝她伸出了手。奈美紧紧地回握住那只小手。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
这一切的一切，都是那么美好。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
女孩们不再低头看向海底，而是抬头望向太阳——它的余晖洒在浪花上，点亮了无数细碎的泡沫。 | |||
<br> | |||
两人将手握得更紧了些，一同感受这浩瀚的汪洋，这绚丽的阳光，这温润的暖流，这无忧无虑的天堂…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
这久远的记忆。 | |||
---- | |||
意识到这点的时候，她感觉很奇怪……很安心，但很奇怪。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
体会到这一切的少女并没有因此乱了阵脚，而是更加握紧了身边那位孩童的手， | |||
<br> | |||
直到夕阳的身影完全消失于大海，直到群星升起点缀了逐渐黯淡的天空，直到…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
这种舒适的感觉是那么强烈，令人难以忽视。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
这确实是一段回忆。“先前”的那个世界，是记忆的世界。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
而当这段记忆走到尽头时，她也不会醒来，而是返回到那个世界中去。 | |||
---- | |||
但没有关系。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
因为那里还有无数其他生命的过去等待着她去发掘。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她粲然一笑，这笑容是那么灿烂，比阳光还要耀眼。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她的内心，此刻也无比轻盈。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
这就是所谓的“满足感”吧。而这里，就是所谓的“天堂”吧。那么…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
这便是她的归宿了。 | |||

A dream within a dream? No, not quite. This— | |||
<br><br> | |||
Before her thoughts can complete, orange waters quickly surround her. It's twilight—sunset. She dives in | |||
<br> | |||
backward and beneath a hundred waves. She is submerged, and surprised, but surprised all the more that | |||
<br> | |||
through some means she is able to breathe. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Her head fills with thoughts, and though it feels natural, it is not. These thoughts are not hers. Someone | |||
<br> | |||
else had dove here. Someone else had experienced this. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And so lucky they had been. | |||
---- | |||
The cool water, the warmth of an undercurrent—the gentle churning all around her; she can't | |||
<br> | |||
suppress her laughter. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Where is this?" she asks aloud. Her voice carries clear through liquid, and she remembers: she | |||
<br> | |||
is not alone, here. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Nami turns her head as dozens of colorful fish begin to converge and swim around her. To her left | |||
<br> | |||
is someone "she" knows: a young child, easily making her way here. The child reaches out, and of | |||
<br> | |||
course she takes that hand. | |||
<br><br> | |||
It feels right—all of this. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Not facing the sea floor, the two girls look instead up toward the sun. Its rays scatter through | |||
<br> | |||
the waves above, spreading light brilliantly into countless beautiful fragments. The child beside | |||
<br> | |||
her squeezes her hand and she squeezes it right back. The colors of sea life—the prism rays of the | |||
<br> | |||
sun—the warmth—this heaven here... | |||
<br><br> | |||
...is a memory. | |||
---- | |||
It is an odd realization. Comfortable, but so strange... | |||
<br><br> | |||
Yet the girl experiencing it puts that all aside, holding the other girl's hand more tightly... until the sun fully | |||
<br> | |||
falls. Until stars begin to dabble the darkening sky, shifted by the sea... | |||
<br><br> | |||
This comfort is simply impossible to deny. | |||
<br><br> | |||
It is a memory. That world "before"... was a world full of memories. | |||
<br><br> | |||
When the memory ends, she won't wake up; she will instead return to that world. | |||
---- | |||
But that is fine... | |||
<br><br> | |||
There were so many other lives there, waiting to be seen. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Her smile is bright—brighter than the sun. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And her heart, too, is light... | |||
<br><br> | |||
This is satisfaction. This is paradise. And yes... | |||
<br><br> | |||
She could live here forever. | |||
