Hands

So many hands reach out to me.

Good,

These hands symbolize something good,

He says.

Why do you appear among them,

Kagami?

She reminds me much of you

Kaguya

That is. The princess that will choose one world to save.

Why?

Why couldn’t it have been mine?

Asu,

A world that I never knew.

Asu,

Memories that when I grasp they slip through my fingers

Like sand.

Pale crystals of dirt crumble to be swept away.

Darkness.

Blue hair, black eyes.

Telene.

They threatened her there.

Hime.

It resounds within.

Princess.

One word in her tongue; the other in mine.

One

Meaning. What does it mean.

Princess:

Royal daughter, cherished, loved.

Princess:

Not quite a mother yet.

Yet.

Kaguya? Is that what you are to me?

Mine?

My, precious princess?
