To Your Name

I am Natsume Takashi, a boy who can see monsters. I originally thought that life with a friend's book would be complicated enough, until I picked up a kitten in the forest. It had eyes of different colors and the tips of its paws glowed. I called it "Light." Teacher Cat stated that it is an empty vessel, not a living thing, that is, it is a mirror that reflects nothingness. On the night of the lunar eclipse, it will lose its form and become countless uncontested containers. When the ancient ruins were covered by distorted shadows, and when the little light in my arms trembled with fear in the pure emptiness and almost disappeared, I made a decision that I could not look back on. I gave it a name I relied on my spiritual power and my existence to fill the void. The name is a spell, a prison, and the softest connection. I thought this was the end, but unexpectedly, everything had just begun. The small light, which was temporarily in a safe state, began to have strange reactions to the surrounding existence. It was no longer just a fragile protected object. Its light began to actively disperse and exclude certain things... How much weight does a name carry? When the empty vessel is filled, what it reflects is salvation, or a more serious disaster. This fate, forged by me personally, is quietly stirring up a storm that is more violent than imagined.
