Ever since I first glimpsed you from behind the bamboo blind, where my grandfather Uchimaro so carefully hid you... It's already been 40 years, hasn't it?

But in all that time, you haven't changed a bit. You're as beautiful as ever. It truly is a mystery...

Oh, how much I wanted to make you mine... Even now my heart cannot be fulfilled. I will never be allowed to grow old with you by my side.

You can't be tied down by the matters of this world.

A long time ago... A clan disobeyed the teachings of Buddha. Burned temples.

Threw his statues into the sea. I'm sure you know how this family was met with destruction.
