Opening[edit | edit source]

夢から覚め

Waking from the dream.


時を奏で


Telling the time.



永久とも思える過程の狭間に



In a brief pause within this seemingly infinite process.

『瞬き』のような声が耳をなでる

A flickering voice caresses my ears...

【聞く】
       【知る】
   【考える】

[Listen]
       [Know]
   [Think]

皿の中に残されたわずかな選択肢の中から

From the few choices remaining on the plate.


        その全てを舐る


        Lick it all up.


───『瞬き』が耳をくすぐる


...The "flickering" tickles my ear.

The Flickering?

あなたはまだ何者でもなく、何もできず

You are still no one. You can still do nothing.

The Flickering?

何も持たず、過去すらない

You have nothing, not even a past.

『瞬き』はそう囁きながら、新たな選択肢を与えてくれた

Whispering so, the "flickering" gave me a new choice.


          【話す】


          [Speak]

可能性に飢えた自分は、
  新たな食材に貪欲に手を伸ばす

Hungering for possibilities,
  I reached my greedy hands out towards the new ingredient.

Me

私の名前はなんでしょうか?
もし私に名前がないのなら、どうかそれをください

What is my name?
If I don't have a name, please give me one.

自分が始めて紡ぐ言葉は、
寝起きの挨拶としてなかなか洒落ていたようだ

These first words of mine seemed quite refined,
at least for a greeting right after waking up.

『瞬き』は永遠とも思える間を置き、答えた

The "flickering" paused for what seemed like an eternity, and answered:

The Flickering?

真っ白なキャンパス

A pure white canvas.

The Flickering?

または真っ黒なインク

Or pure black ink.

The Flickering?

私が与えられるものはこれだけ

That is all I can grant you.

『瞬き』は自分を満たしてくれているのか

Perhaps the "flickering" granted me fulfilment.

それとも、壊してくれているのか・・・?

Or maybe, it broke me...?

どちらにせよ自分は無限の可能性を得た

In any case, I obtained infinite possibilities.

精一杯のキャンパスを広げ、華奢な筆をインクに浸ける

With all I had, I spread out the canvas, and soaked a delicate brush into the ink.

The Flickering?

貴方にとって世界とは、何もかもが初めてで

To you, everything in the world is new.

The Flickering?

何もかもが素晴らしい

Everything is wonderful.

言葉を重ねるたび、轍は深くなり、
無限の色彩が流れ込んでくる

Every time it spoke, the tracks became deeper,
and an infinitude of colours flowed into me.

しばらくして、『瞬き』が問う

After a while, the "flickering" asked:

The Flickering?

あなたの名は?

What is your name?

そう、すでに自分は知っているのだ

Yes, I already knew.

名は形を表すこと

That names represent forms.

形は力となって理を導くこと

That forms become the force which leads reason.

名を付けられれば"実"となり

That once something is named, it becomes the "truth".

名を呼ばれれば"事"となることを

That once that name is called, it becomes a "fact".



────────────────もう歩ける



................ I can already walk.

舞台は用意してもらった

The stage has been prepared.

名も、力も

And so has my name, my force.

あとは自分次第・・・

The rest is up to me...

『瞬き』が囁く

The "flickering" whispered:

The Flickering?

それじゃあ見せて
貴方が描く・・・・

Then show me.
What you will draw....

The Flickering?

貴方の"世界"を

Your "world".

The Flickering?

さぁ目を開いて

Now, open your eyes.

The Flickering?

ずっと見ていてあげるから

I'll always be watching you.

The Flickering?
