"Your name echoed through the void...
The curse whispers to you."
"I have been trapped like fractured bamboo under the weight of my torment.
My suffering has stretched into eternity, like dew suspended on cherry blossoms that never falls.
But now, your senses have awakened. The veil has lifted, and you can finally see what lies hidden.
Leap into the void without fear. Trust the kamis to guide you.
Your bravery honors you, for you made the most courageous decision."
