The Contradictory Grim the End

**The Contradictory Grim the End** is a song affiliated with, but not a part of, both the "Seven Heavenly Virtues Series" and the "Four Endings Series". It follows the story of Kiril and Irina Clockworker as they contemplate the existence of the vessel of Patience that they reside within along with an angel.

## Plot

A certain craftsman made a key that no longer has a door to open. Three opposing souls eventually came to reside within it: the man of darkness, Seth Twiright, the man of light, Kiril Clockworker, and the eclipsed woman, Irina Clockworker. The key would continue to change forms as time went on, with the ghoul children contemplating whether it was a vessel that creates purity or a tool to kill it.

The key was first used by the lover of a woman who was kidnapped by a false duke. It was then used by a prince who had been charmed by a temperate noblewoman. These were deemed to be acts of judgment that passed down punishment to these twisted saints. Later on, the Son of White hesitated to use the key to kill the Lord of Evil, forgiving him despite the fact he killed the monk's dear friend.

The ghoul children began to feel their souls wear down, knowing that they would eventually break down completely due to the rules of the gods. Despite this, they were determined to continue on and erase the other angelic vessels, hoping to reunite with someone again.

A heartbroken judge attempted to gather the fragments of the original virtue; at the same time, the man of light and the eclipsed woman that possessed him had worn down completely. Though they existed to destroy the virtues, now they had become inevitably drawn towards them; from somewhere, they could hear the man of darkness' roar of laughter at this. Over hundreds of years, the patient vessel had suppressed people's innate rage, with the revenge someone's enacted for the sake of their loved one likely putting an end to it. The ghoul children then state their resolve to go see someone very soon, the person they had been searching for.

## Lyrics

A certain craftsman made a key

The door it opens no longer exists in this world

Having succumbed to an irrational fate

Were opposing souls of light, darkness, and eclipse

That was "Grim the End"

The symbol of the virtue of patience

The man of darkness was Twiright

Who sought for evil to prosper by splitting the twisted virtue

The man of light and the eclipsed woman were Clockworkers

Who sought its destruction for the sake of the one they loved

It would change its form over the eras—was it:

A vessel to create purity?

A tool to destroy saints?

A cruel fairytale over hundreds of years

Produced a vessel that suppressed people's innate rage

The vengeance of someone who has lost their love

Will likely put an end to it

It contradicted its own existence

A false duke kidnapped a woman

And incurred the wrath of her lover

A temperate noblewoman was poisoned by

A prince who had been charmed by her past self

That was a judgment to hand down punishment

To those twisted saints

Though the Lord of Evil had killed his dear friend

The Son of White forgave him

Unable to achieve their goal, the ghoul children

Felt their souls wear down, little by little

If they kept living with their memories intact,

By the rules of the gods

Their souls would eventually break down

Our rusting and chipped gears

Don't have much time left

Still, until we have erased the angelic vessels

We won't give up yet

Until the day that we can see you again

The heartbroken judge had the end goal of

Gathering the fragments of the original virtue

The gears that had come to possess her

Had already rusted and broken to pieces

Though they existed to destroy saints

Now they inevitably sought them out

That was the contradictory Grim the End

The man of darkness' roar of laughter could be heard somewhere

A cruel fairytale over hundreds of years

Produced a vessel that suppressed people's innate rage

The vengeance of someone who has lost their love

Will likely put an end to us

It made a contradiction...

We will go to see you very soon...
