Veiled Anguish Wheel of Destiny — Morimens

Clementine was not a strong child, so when afflicted by a strange illness, tormented by pain and the looming death, she would often awake in the dead of night, crying silently. And each morning after her cries, a "Gift" would appear at her bedside. A few pieces of lavishly wrapped candy, trendy hair accessories, and adorably stuffed bears... But what left the deepest impression was a specimen of a cocoon. At that time, she was gravely ill, bedridden, struggling to lift up the specimen to gaze at the life within the light-pierced cocoon. That life was sleeping, but that life had achieved eternity. While she was nearing true death. Thinking of this, her tears silently fell. But a pair of hands wiped her tears away. "Don't cry, Clementine. Someday, you too will be reborn like these cocoons." "I will give you new life." Her father never lied, at least not to her, so Clementine had no doubt in his words. She trusted her father, and so when she entered that profane mountain, she did so without hesitation, and when she endured the agonizing pain of dissolving flesh, she did so without complaint. Because she believed all this was the price and necessary process for rebirth. When all the pain and despair were over, she would heal, return to the place called "home," and reunite with her only family.
