Memory Fragments/Event Story

※Starting from Verse 5, the story is told from the Nightmare's perspective.

## Verse 1

### With Alice

彼らはどのように生まれ
何を**想い**、何を感じ
殺され続けるのだろうか。
いずれにせよ
**殺**す必要があるのであれば
悪であってほしい。
浮かんでは消える**雑念**を振り払い
私は前へ進み続ける。
What brought them to life,
what do they **think**, what do they feel,
as they constantly get killed?
Either way,
so long as it is a must to **kill**
I'd rather they're wicked.
Casting fickle **distraction** aside,
I press ahead.

### Without Alice

意味があるはずだ
それはナイトメアも、きっと・・・・・・
for a reason
The same to Nightmares, for sure.....

## Verse 2

そこには夥しい数のナイトメアが
黒々と蠢いていた。
It got a great many Nightmares
worming all over, dying it black.

## Verse 3

### With Alice

獣が踊り出してきた。
殺される事は承知のうえだろう。
たとえ相手が**高潔**な決意を
抱こうとも、迷わず刈り取る。
頼れる者の**死**は、
抗いようのない絶望で交配する。
彼らはより一層身を寄り添い、怯えた。
ちょうどいい。
これなら纏めて**屠る**ことができる。
刃が鈍らぬよう、そう言い聞かせた。
broke into a dance.
So you're aware you'd get killed.
Even if my opponent is with **noble** determination
I'll reap them, without hesitation.
**Death** to the trusty
is when irresistible despair reigns supreme.
They drew even closer to each other in fright.
That's about right.
Now I can bring them together to a **slaughter**.
So that my blade won't blunt, was what I got told.

### Without Alice

何かを訴えかけようと
濁った瞳で訴えかけてくる。
They're going to plead for something
so they're pleading with their clouded eyes.

## Verse 4

### With Alice

#### Prologue

**異質**な空気を纏った獣が
飛び掛ってきた。
あぁ、この目を知ってる。
彼女もまた、**衝動**に囚われた
犠牲者だ。
絶望に溺れぬよう
必死にもがく姿に、自らを重ねる。
抱くのは哀れみでなく、**決意**。
私はきつく、刀を握りしめた。
a beast with a **different** aura
leaped at her.
Ah, I know these eyes.
She too, was another victim
caged within **impulses**.
As if losing themselves in despair,
they pile up on each other, worming desperately.
It's not pity, but **determination** that I'm with.
I kept a tight grip on my sword.

#### Epilogue

狂ったように廻り出す
**懐中時計**。
それから放たれた光の奔流は
彼女の**慟哭**と呼応するよう。
輝きを増し、私を飲み込もうと手を伸ばす。
逃れられず、光に包まれたその瞬間。
グニャリと世界が歪み、
気がつくと私は
はじめに降り立った
**森**にいた・・・・・・
starts ticking like mad
on her chest.
From there, the burst of light
seemingly accords with her **laments**.
The light grows stronger; I reach out when it's about to swallow me.
In that moment, I failed to escape, and got engulfed in the light.
The world yielded to a mushy twist,
and when I came to my senses,
I was in the **woods**
where I first alighted......

### Without Alice

#### Prologue

それはきっと紙一重の差。
It is but a fine line between them.

#### Epilogue

その光に時間を巻き戻した。
Time rewound with that light.

## Verse 5

寄リ添イ、長イ時間を過ゴシ
私達ハ家族ニナッタ。
we stayed close to each other for a long time
and so, we became family.

I won't let you deprive us of anything further
