Gensokyo Diaries X: Ran

Indigo Diary,entry VII: Tightened Leash

As aforementioned,We were never free and the past still holds tightened leash over us. Now, that lease has tightened further around myself and what it is I yearn to forget. I almost did an unspeakable crime of abandoning Chen and Yume Ni and nearly causing Reimu's demise. I was ill, my reality so very clouded and took hell to bring me back. That was a little while ago, not too long ago where it will be distant memory but neither that fresh in anyone's mind.

On another note, Reimu's mother had recently passed away of illness. Her death has made the leash tighter in that her final wishes were for Yukari to take care of Reimu. I was only acting within the best interests of the child but it did lead to suffering on both ends of it. It's not just that, it is painful reminder of how many of us had gone by this point. Her death also wasn't that long ago.

That was the past and, to a certain degree,I yearn to forget it. While this leash tightens, I must note that I can either run or learn from it. If I were to run from it,the leash will grow tighter and tighter, until I am strangled by it.
