Main Story｜F 1-5

F-1 "

For a moment, she was remembered. That was enough. 在那一瞬间，她能被人所记起。那样就足够了。 The world bowed to the girl marked by red, as white fire rose from her body.  白色的火焰，在红色少女的身中熊熊燃起。其中的力量，足以让世界都为之臣服。 Now cloaked in flames that will not burn without her say, she wonders why this has come to pass.  她操控着这道火焰，让它们环绕着自己，同时开始思考事情为何会发展至如此地步。 Her foe was stopped.  她的敌人此刻也停了下来。 The battle, for a moment, was stopped.  整场战斗迎来了短暂的沉寂。 And there is more. Above there is more. 然而这并没有结束，上方的天空，仍在显著地破裂着。 All because she has touched on what once was;  这一切，只是因为她触碰到了事情原有的模样： when faced with the thought of dying, she was not afraid. 那一刻，当死亡的呼声充斥于脑海中时，她也没有因此而惧怕。 However, dying was also the last thing that she wanted.  即便如此，"死亡"也不会是她想看到的结局。 And still, now, she refuses to die. 现在的她，依然拒绝向其屈服。 Now, in a valley of nothing, beneath a sundered sky, her blood falls but does not strike the ground.  在破碎的天际下方，虚无的山谷之中，白色少女身上不断流落着鲜血，然而那血滴却根本无法波及地面。 Only beyond here can a single tower be seen: the bell tower of a hollow church, jutting there between the divide as if to mark it for those below. 远方，只剩下一座矗立的高塔，那是某个荒废教堂的钟楼。它横亘于天际与少女之间，如同一条醒目的分界线一般。 The conclusion approaches now. It was expected. 结局，就要来了，就如同我们曾看到的一样。 Was it fate? 这就是宿命吗？ Now, there is starlight in the heavens. The veil is rent, and the darkness behind it is glittering.  上方的天际之间，星光在不断闪烁着。而被撕裂的帷幕后方，黑暗也在不时涌动着。 Is it within her notice? Does that matter?  只是，她还察觉得到这些吗？她还会在乎这些吗？ The pictures have slowed, and stopped. The fall of the firmament has slowed, and stopped. 眼前的视界逐渐变得越来越迟钝，直到最后完全静止。 Her blood is hot. Her eyes are dull. 当炽热的鲜血流尽，双瞳也失去了神色。 And Tairitsu knows: despite their dullness, those eyes promise "demise". She knows. 对立很清楚，那样的双眼，已经注定她将时日无多。 She swallows what little spit dampens her otherwise dried-out tongue and throat.  她咽下一口口水，以此浸润着早已干裂的舌头与喉咙。 She meets those eyes. Wordlessly, she vows to defy them. 然后她看向对方的双眼——少女一语不发，却依然坚定着誓要反抗的决心。 In Hikari's heart, "emptiness" threatens. However, it isn't the emptiness that Tairitsu can view through the silent girl's stare. "Will" lurks, but not in weakness. There is a sincere will to survive, unkillable in Hikari's soul. It will not perish.  "空虚"充斥着光的内心。不过，这不是对立从少女无言的凝视中所看见的那种空虚，那并不是无力的空虚感。相反，有一股坚定的信念在其中蓄势待发，那是光永远不会被磨灭的信念：她要"活下去"—— Wordlessly, she vows to live. 少女一语不发，却依然坚定着誓要活下去的决心。 Tairitsu moves forth like a dragon. 对立疯狂地冲向对方。 The world holds her back, and still, like an untamable beast, she resists.  整个世界都试图阻止着她前行。然而现在的她，如同脱缰的野兽般拒绝着阻止她脚步的一切。 Is this atmosphere? It is force—ripping at her skin, and yet she drives forward still,  纵使这股力量不断撕扯着她的皮肤，她也绝不会停下。 to the true beast standing on the earth. That beast turns her head. 黑色野兽的獠牙，此刻已经直直伸向了站在大地之上的白色野兽。而对方，也将头转了过来。 The world seems to turn on its side, and at once Tairitsu meets the ground. Glass falls in a tumultuous clatter, splashing and scattering and flying out. She cannot feel her arm for a moment, but forces it to return to recognition.  然而，就在对立接触大地的那一瞬间，整个世界就如同上下颠倒一般。掉落的玻璃刚发出嘈杂的声响，下一秒就立刻反向飞出。她的手臂甚至一时失去了知觉，但她咬牙坚持了下来。 She drags herself onto her knees, and spots a white tongue of flame flashing through the shards beneath her. She flies backward then. 她勉强把膝盖伸直，却发现下方突然闪过一道光芒——那是一道白色的火焰，透过碎片之间向上猛然窜出。对立急忙向后退去。 The earth is set ablaze. 眼前的一切，瞬间化为火海。 The world turns again. 周遭的世界，再度天旋地转。 Her stomach lurches with motion, though she soon stops and stands still. 如此频繁的颠倒让对立感到浑身难受，但她很快就遏制住不适感并站稳步伐。 And with no warning, before her stands the girl in white, a scarf of flames of the same the same pale color burning over shoulders. 白色少女再一次悄无声息地靠近，而那道苍白的火焰犹如围巾般缠绕并灼烧着对立的肩膀。 Once again, Tairitsu makes to retreat. 对立不得不再次后退。 Glass flies up—and down—to ensnare her, forming a great prism around her body. Her body trembles once before not moving at all. 就这样，玻璃在世界的颠倒中不断上下起伏。四散的碎片，逐渐如棱镜般环绕着对立的身影。 And so again, she looks into Hikari's eyes.  她再次看向光的双眸。 Hikari does not look back. She looks only into the cage she's made. 光并没有回以眼神，只是静静看着她所打造的这个牢笼。 And, she whispers something, but... 接着，她低声说了些什么，但是…… ...it is nothing that the girl in black wants to hear. ……那并不是黑色少女想听到的话。 Tairitsu's grasp shatters through the rough glass, aimed at Hikari's open neck.  对立攥紧拳头打碎了这其中一块坚固的玻璃，并起手瞄准光的喉咙。 Hikari lifts her eyes to the hand. 光抬起头看向对方的那只手，而下一秒—— Seven colors ring out, and the flow of time goes still. 七彩的光芒透过破碎的玻璃喷涌而出，连带着时间也停止了下来。

F-2 "

Because the sentiment asking for her to stop all this is not kindness, but lack of care: a frightening and deeply seated apathy. This is what she always had. This profound indifference—she must have felt it before. 这种情况先前肯定也发生过。这种抗拒的方式，这种似曾相识的感觉——光能感觉到周围的一切都在远离自己。时光仍处于冰封之中，她的心情也低沉到了冰点。现在的她，只想让自己就此打住。这种想法不是因为光的本性有多么善良。她只是不在乎罢了。这种刻进骨子里的冷漠，才是她一直以来的样子。她以前肯定也有过这种想法。 Within her soul, two wills are at war. 在她的内心深处，有两股思绪正在相互斗争。 I can't, she thinks. ——我无法这么做。 I have to, she thinks. ——我必须这么做。 And these thoughts—they fight against those building sentiments of "should" and "shouldn't". 这种围绕"应该"还是"不应该"的情感对抗正变得越来越强烈。 But she feels a fire flickering in the depths of her heart;  但她能感受到内心深处还有一丝火焰在微微颤动。 yes, her true wishes are much too strong to lose. 显然，再激烈的斗争，也无法抹灭她内心真正的希望。 Hikari stands before Tairitsu, whose hand is out and whose face is contorted with rage.  对立被定格在光的面前，她的面容与伸出的手因为愤怒而变得扭曲。 Around them, a rainbow has been torn apart and is bleeding through the air.  周围的虹光，因为破碎而弥漫于空气之中。 Tairitsu cannot move.  对立动弹不得， Hikari cannot move. 光亦是如此。 Inside of her, hope asks, "When you bring back time, can't you just push her far away?"  光内心的希望告诉她："等时间恢复之时，只要把她推得远远的就不可能再打了吧？" Her will-to-be considers it. 只要能停止战斗，就不会再有谁因此丧命。她开始思考这种想法的可行性。 That's fair, she thinks. Hope can't be a worthless thing. 这应该行得通。希望犹存，则应该有其存在的意义。 The world begins to move again, and Tairitsu is sent, in an instant, behind that distant chapel's gates.  时光再次流动了起来，而对立也在一瞬间被推往远处教堂的大门之后。 Her impassioned grasp closes around one of its bars, and glass comes to help her tear the metal construct from its hinges.  她呼唤碎片撕裂了门栏上的铰链，然后一股脑将门上的一根铁杆抓了下来。 At once, she realizes what game the beast has played.  她很快就明白了对面那头野兽当下的意图。 She takes hold of whatever other glass can be found around her, and sends it all to the air, each flickering and each reflecting.  她叫来了周围能找来的全部玻璃碎片，并将它们送往空中，任凭那些碎片闪烁而反射着周围的景象。 She finds Hikari soon, and then she moves the earth. 就这样，她很快便找到了光的身影。随后，她开始撼动着脚下的大地。 Things twist beneath that earth, and within the world's fabric, as Hikari plants down her foot in quiet rebellion.  世界的核心，连带着地壳都开始变得扭曲，只剩下光站在地上做着无声的抵抗。 In a sudden but frightening way, she realizes that Tairitsu still has the aim—and the means—to take away all of this.  她能感觉到对立深深的执念。那是要夺走这一切的执念，无论地点，无论手段，她心意已决。 So, to hope? 哈，这就是所谓的希望吗。 She chuckles. 她笑出声。 She already knew that hope was gone. 什么"希望"，早就不复存在。 The space between them warps. Which of them asked for this, neither can tell.  阻隔在她们视线之间的一切全部灰飞烟灭，甚至她们自己也已经分不清是谁下的手。 They face each other behind the broken gate, within the shadow of that cathedral. 教堂的阴影下，破败的大门前，她们就这样面对面看着彼此。 And, with a smile, Hikari repeats herself. She tells Tairitsu, easily, "I said... you don't have to do this." 光脸上露出一丝轻蔑的微笑，她再一次告诉对立："我说你啊……你并不需要做到这种地步。" It is nothing that the girl in black wants to hear. 那并不是黑色少女想听到的话。

F-3 "

"What 'has' to be done? Are you joking?" says Tairitsu. "我不需要做到这种地步？你在跟我开玩笑吗？"对立继续说道。 "You don't know why you're here, do you? Does anyone, other than me?" "你根本不知道自己为什么会来到这里。不如说除了我之外，还有人知道吗？" "What has to be done? You're right: nothing has to happen. Nothing in this place matters, and you... you don't even understand. You don't know anything." "我不需要做到这种地步？没错啊，本来什么都不会发生的，这破地方根本就没什么意义。你懂吗？你根本就不懂，你什么都不知道。" "I've kept it up long enough. Do you think I care to be here? You know, honestly, maybe I'm the 'hero' of this worthless story. Maybe I'm its 'villain'." "我已经受够了。你以为我想来这种地方吗？" "Whether I am, whether I'm not... Honestly, whatever; it doesn't really matter. Maybe... you ought to die." "这种毫无意义的故事，我是主角还是反派……都已经无所谓了。或许，这场故事要做的……就是要你命丧于此。" "You're right. I don't have to do this." "你说得对，我不需要做到这种地步。" "Neither did you." "那你一开始就不应该那么做。" ...The words, pointed as they are, seem to roll out of her like smooth and heavy stones, bowling over and through Hikari before her. ……她的话语，犹如沉重的巨石般，试图压倒眼前的光。 To Hikari, it sounds only like insanity.  而对光而言，这些话只能用"疯了"来形容。 She feels now like she and the other girl have been connected... but all that's in the other girl's mind is madness. 如今，她感觉到自己和眼前这位少女似乎已经联系在了一起……但对方的内心里只有无尽的疯狂。 Tairitsu knows that her mind is madness. And what of it, she thinks?  对立也明白自己的心智已经陷入疯狂，但她已经不在乎了。 It has been driven there. There is nothing to lose and nothing to gain. 事已至此，已经没有什么可以失去了，也不会再有什么可以得到了。 She speaks one final time, saying, "If you want to live, then kill me." 她最后一次开口说道："如果你还想活下去，那就来杀了我。" "But you should know this first..." "但在那之前，我要告诉你……" "I want to die." "我只求一死。" Her words are sincere, and her sincerity and wickedness are manifested.  她的决心与杀气尽在言语之中。 Might fills Tairitsu's stomach and burns into her hands. 对立的体内充满了力量，她的双手蓄势待发。 She will force the ending now, no matter what it will be. 无论如何，她都必须要结束这一切。 With that sentiment guiding her, she calls upon the shards to which neither girl has laid claim: 在这股情绪的引导下，她召唤来双方都还未曾掌握过的碎片。 The fragmented segments of the sky.  那是天空破裂之后的碎片。 They begin to fall, and the horizon darkens. 随着它们开始下坠，天际也逐渐堕入深渊。

F-4 "

Hikari cannot control everything. 光无法控制一切。 Rather, her control was lost very quickly after she had gained it. 事实上，她在取得主导权后不久便失去了控制。 A tug of war... 这就像是一场拔河比赛…… No, this would be better referred to as a struggle— 不，倒不如说这是一次挣扎—— This would be better called a beating. 或者说是单方面的压制。 As the first part of the sky falls to the earth, crushing a part of the cathedral and showering everything in dust, it falls very near to her.  天空塌了下来，其中一部分砸落在大教堂之上，并瞬间扬起无数的尘土，而这一切就发生在她身旁。 This cannot be coincidence—it's too close to be chance.  这绝不会是巧合。 She understands, as more comes down, that Tairitsu has the sky. 随着越来越多的碎片铺天盖地地砸向地面，光也明白了——对立，已经掌控了整个天空。 And that... can only be called absurd. 这太荒谬了，荒谬到难以置信。 The land and the air—the glass, the wind—all of it is being heaved up, pulled down, turned and tossed.  整个世界变得天昏地暗。碎片与狂风交织在一起，杂乱无章而又遍布各地。 She can disappear some of it. She can point at some of it, and make it vanish into nothing but pale and transient fire.  面对着混乱的碎片，她伸手一指将它们化为苍白的火焰燃烧殆尽。 She can even pull parts of the sky to her thrall. When Tairitsu throws the world at her, she can catch and throw it back. 她也可以掌控天空的一部分。就在对立将整个世界都砸向她时，她也会接住这一切并还以颜色。 It is cataclysmic: as if giants have descended, and now stomp down on the earth. 眼前的景象完全就是灾难，就好像是泰坦巨人从天而降肆意践踏着大地一般。 And amidst the white there is black she cannot touch, called from the distance.  而在那白色的风暴中，有一些光无法干涉的黑色碎片正从远处被召唤而来。 There are shards that Tairitsu will not give back.  那是被对立掌控的碎片， This, everything, is now being taken. 那是光无法主导的一切。 As she battles back—as the plains and gates and buildings rumble—her teeth are forced to chatter.  在她回击之时，周遭的地面、建筑、大门无不为之震动，甚至她的牙齿都为之发颤。 She plants her feet again, but can still feel tremors into her fingernails—into her skull.  她站稳脚跟，然而战栗感依旧从指尖传到了全身。 The cathedral standing over them groans as it is beaten by the debris of the heavens.  她们上方的大教堂因为无数碎片的摧残而发出沉闷的低鸣。 But, it does not fall. Nor will she. 但大教堂依旧屹立不倒，而她也绝不会倒下。 ...She should have stopped this sooner. She had had a chance. ……她本可以阻止这一切。她曾经有那样的机会。 Her heart beats. Her eyes narrow, only a bit— 伴随着猛烈的心跳，她眯起眼睛思考着—— Is the core of the world going to break next?  接下来要崩溃的，会是这个世界的核心吗？ That's what the other girl wants, right? 这就是那名少女的目的，不是吗？ As she thinks that, as she holds the landscape together and thinks—so quickly thinks about how to stop her, if that is the case— 她努力不让眼前的景象彻底分崩离析，同时拼命思考着该如何阻止对方，但就在这时—— Her chest is leashed. A line of Arcaea flies from the darkness and wraps her chest in a pointed embrace.  她突然感到胸口透不过气来。 一群Arcaea从黑暗中飞奔而出，如同锋利的锁链般捆住了她的胸口。 Fire burns this away, but her chest is leashed again. 她急忙用火焰将它们烧成灰烬，可是很快就会有新的锁链缠绕住她。 Her arms are leashed. With effort, she turns her head. Her legs, her feet, her thighs are leashed. 她的双臂很快也被束缚。她努力地转过头去，却发现自己双脚到双腿全都无一幸免。 Her stomach is leashed. Her body burns again, and her body is bound again. 最后，连她的腹部也被缠紧。她不断召唤火焰，不惜整个身体都遍布于火焰之中，可碎片很快就会再次缠绕住她。 These shadows—these memories of woe are keeping her trapped. 束缚着她的全身的，是那些充满悲伤的记忆。 That... There's some black humor in that. 如同讽刺般悲伤的记忆。 Tairitsu approaches, and Hikari breaks some of the bonds around herself, freeing her leg.  光艰难地解开了双脚的束缚，却发现对立已经向她靠近。 She takes one step backward with it, and finds a spike just behind her. Some hideous formation, aimed at her unshackled limb. 她向后退了一步，却发现身后暗藏了一块尖锐的碎片，而它已经瞄准了光刚被解开束缚的四肢。 So, she simply stares into the glass, and wills it to be set ablaze. 情急之下，她双眼紧盯着那片玻璃，企图用意念将其烧毁。 Yet it refuses to. 但那片玻璃不为所动。 She is tied down again. She is brought low. She is tugged, suddenly, down to her knees.  她很快又被捆住，然后跪倒在地上动弹不得。 There might still be a way out. 说不定还有一条出路。 Or, there might have been. 或许曾经有一条出路—— ...When did it happen? 在某一个时间点，她还能有一线生机？ When she lifts her head, Hikari finds Tairitsu standing motionless before her. 光思索着抬起头，发现对立一动不动地站在她面前。

Silence... Met with silence. 她们就这样在沉默中相遇了。 Though they do not speak, the two have locked eyes tightly with one another.  沉默的少女，沉默的视线。 They stare, unflinching, as the sounds of their finished battle echo. 纵使方才战斗的声音在耳边回响，她们也依然目不转睛地注视着彼此。 Through the rumbling of broken earth, through the whistling of scattered wind, and through the dust and debris cast and rolling out from ruined, beaten monuments...  大地在轰隆声中破裂，狂风在呼啸声中肆虐，建筑在倒塌声中扬起漫天尘土…… both girls are unmoving, their eyes only on each other. 但这些都无法让两名少女的视线从对方身上移开。 And yet despite that, Hikari can see it: 而光也看得很清楚—— In that girl's eyes, an ember of the passion which had brought Hikari down still distantly burns.  对立的眼神中，依旧燃烧着战斗的怒火。 This is not a suggestion for a truce, it is a wordless threat. 这不是休战的信号，这是无声的威胁。 Hikari swallows, and Tairitsu eyes her open neck:  光深吸一口气，而对立则把目光投向了光的喉咙。 eyes that throat that she hates; that voice that she hates. 她痛恨着光的每一次呼吸，也痛恨着光的每一道声音。 Her will and her desire prick at Hikari's skin. 这股恨意刺透着光身上的每一片肌肤。 Now Hikari asks for time to go still. It flows on. 光现在希望时间能够再次停止，然而时光依旧。 She tries to destroy her bindings with flames. They remain. 她试着用火焰去烧穿束缚住她的锁链，但它们不为所动。 The earth will not yield. The sky will not bend. 大地没有颤动，天空也没有响应。 With nothing else in mind, she finds herself holding her breath. 她的脑袋一片空白，这才发现自己已经不知不觉间屏住了呼吸。 "..." "……" The sky has finished falling... The cathedral is still breaking... 天空已陷落得所剩无几……教堂也逐渐化为废墟…… Dust lingers between and above them. 漫天纷飞的尘土弥漫在她们之间，覆盖了整个天空。 And that sharp and wicked will is still flickering in Tairitsu's eyes. 对立的眼神里依旧充满着尖锐的杀气。 Those eyes begin to gently narrow. In this moment, although ruined, the world is calm. 那股杀气逐渐聚焦在对方身上。这一刻，整片废墟已然变得鸦雀无声。 ...Tairitsu smirks at a memory, then. Hikari maintains her stare. ……光依然死死地盯着她，而对立这时把目光放向了一份记忆。她发出一声冷笑。 "We're back here," Tairitsu says. She tilts her head, only a little.  "我们又回到这里了。"对立微微歪起头继续说道， "Are you going to do it? Are you going to wish for a miracle again?" "你还要再来一次吗？又要祈求有奇迹发生了吗？" But Hikari will not answer. 光没有回答。 "...Miracles are miracles because they're too convenient—too perfectly timed to ever actually happen.  "……奇迹之所以被称作奇迹，就是因为它们太完美了，完美到根本不可能存在。 You've seen enough broken worlds through these shards... through Arcaea. You know, then, that miracles are the same as 'hope'." 你透过这些碎片……透过Arcaea见识过太多破碎的世界。所以你应该明白，奇迹也只不过是另一种'希望'罢了。" "And besides, with or without miracles, you live... you die." "更何况，无论有没有奇迹的存在……你都难逃一死。" Hikari breathes. Tairitsu gently straightens her own back. 光深呼着气，而对立则逐渐挺直了身体。 The girl in black goes on, "You know: I would much rather just forget. Forget everything." 黑色少女继续说道："你应该很清楚，如果可以的话，我宁可选择忘记世间所有的一切。" Another attempt to move. Another reminder that she has been brought utterly still. Her shoulders strain. Her toes curl. 光再次试着动起来，却还是无奈意识到自己已经被完全固定住。她的肩膀被拉得紧绷，脚趾也蜷缩在了一起。 "I'm going to kill you," Tairitsu says, "and this world... 「your world‹Arcaea›」is going to die." "我要杀了你。"对立说道。 "连带着这个世界……'你的世界‹Arcaea›'也会一同灰飞烟灭。" Again, she pushes a smile across her lips. She breathes in, and forces out a laugh. 她的嘴角再次扬起一抹微笑。这一次，她深吸一口气，随后挤出一记诡异的笑声。 With her other hand, she takes Hikari's cheek. She lifts the bound girl's chin. 接着，她伸出一只手摸向光的脸颊。随后轻轻抬起少女的下巴。 "You really are right," says Tairitsu as she brings her palm nearer, "I really don't have to do this... for you." "你说得确实没错。"对立一边说道、一边把手伸向对方。"我确实不需要……为了你做到这种地步。" Her smile disappears as she leans forward. 她收回了笑容，身体也向前倾去。 Tairitsu's eyes... have a familiar look. 对立的目光……那是一道熟悉的眼神。 It is regret, and sympathy. 是悔恨的眼神，是同情的眼神。 Her wings of black have folded down. 她黑色的翅膀向下收起。 Above, the night sky continues to glitter. 而头顶的夜空，依旧闪亮。 Although all the fury has passed... Hikari's heart continues to pound. 尽管方才狂暴的战斗都已经烟消云散……但光的心脏依旧猛烈跳动着。 She admits to herself: it won't be enough to just "stop" her. 她不得不承认，单纯"阻止"对方是没有用的。 Tairitsu begins to bring her left hand away from Hikari's throat, and as she drags it back... 对立将左手从光的喉咙处收回，而就在这时…… ...something black and pointed glitters in her palm. ……她的手掌中，多出了一块尖锐且闪亮的黑色碎片。 To end this, Tairitsu says this: 在这最后，对立说道： "I'll let you know clearly:  "至少，我想告诉你： my name here was Tairitsu, and yours was Hikari." 在这里，我的名字是对立，而你的名字是光。" "Please..." "求求你……" Hikari whispers a word forced. 光勉强发出一丝微弱的声音。 She almost hisses: "Please stop..." "求求你住手……" And Tairitsu tilts her head. 对立歪过头来。 "...This again?"  "……还来啊？" She thinks for a moment, and adds, "Nothing's going to change." 她思考片刻，随后补充道："什么都不会再改变了。" Hikari breaks her bonds with a show of blinding light.  而就在这时，一道耀眼的光芒粉碎了光身上的束缚。 She stands and holds out her hand to wish for a weapon— 她站起身并伸出手，试图祈求一把武器—— Her wrist, her waist, her legs are all pulled back down. 她的身体很快又被束缚住。 Still, she wishes, and within her palm a sword begins to manifest.  即便如此，她的祈求并没有消失，一把利剑开始在她的手掌中逐渐成形。 It is something "new". Something created. Not a memory: though still made of glass. 那是一把"全新"的武器，虽然同样由玻璃构成，但却并不是什么记忆。 An impossible blade... Along its edge, space seems to be bending, glistening.  这根本就难以置信……剑刃周围的空间似乎在光亮中发生着扭曲。  Arcaea rewrites itself, and slowly allows the weapon to be. Arcaea甚至改写了自身，让自己逐渐适应了这把武器的存在。 Tairitsu thinks: How funny this is... 对立心想：这真是太可笑了…… She has seen that jagged pillar before. 她以前也见过这种参差的玻璃长柱。 And immediately once more, Hikari breaks free. She turns her sword in her palm, and thrusts it into the earth.  光再一次挣脱身上的锁链，并转起手中的利剑，将其重重插入地面。 With this, Tairitsu is forced backward by a queer gust—pushed so far away. 随即，一股诡异的强风突然升起，并把对立推往远处。 Hikari brings the blade back up, raising it toward Tairitsu,  光举起剑，将剑刃瞄准对立。 and as she does she sees her own hand shaking. 但在此时，她发现自己的手在颤抖。 Tairitsu lands despite still being pushed away, and her gaze falls again on the familiar sword. 对立并未因为这股强风而乱了阵脚，她的目光再次落在了那把熟悉的利剑之上。 She stares. 无言的视线。 She waits. 无言的等待。 ...Her teeth grind together. ……她紧咬牙关。 She looks into Hikari's face, and sees that the girl can't focus at all. 她看向光的脸庞，却发现对方完全无法集中精神。 The game of bounding back and forth, the hesitation— 她看到的，只有摇摆的表情，和踌躇的身躯。 She has no patience for even a bit of it. 这让她失去了最后的耐心。 Glass walls push up from the earth around Hikari, each bearing Tairitsu's approaching figure.  光的四周开始升起玻璃状的高墙，每面墙壁都倒映出对立逼近的身影，而她们的手中全都闪烁着黑色的光芒。 Reflections, or maybe true images—? Something is strange about them, and to see them, to feel them coming and see the glinting in their palms, fear pulses through Hikari's body. 这是镜像还是实体或许已无从得知，但当这种景象从这些四面八方的玻璃中显现之时，还是让光的背后惊出一身冷汗。 That hand is lifted, and it will land nowhere else but her waiting throat. 对立抬起了手，下一秒，她便将穿透对方的喉咙。 With both hands now trembling, the girl in white holds onto her sword. 白色少女的双手一直在颤抖，但她还是紧握着手中的剑。 Something sounds off loudly in her head: a painful ringing, followed by the sound of her heart once more in her ears. 刺耳的声音开始在她脑中回响，紧接着，心跳声也再一次传到了她的耳边。 Reason tells her that this can go on forever. 理性告诉她这样的情况将会反复上演。 If she turns her sword back and thrusts it down again, the walls will fall away, and Tairitsu will be easily pushed. 只要她再次收回手上的剑并将其插向地面，周围的墙壁就会倒下，而对立也会被再一次击退。
