Though the river still flows cold, the carp and the lotus now turn old. In autumn, we together released this carp into the river even as we buried our love. The white silk is not only an epitaph, it is also a poem of about love.
- So, there must be a romantic story between you bel-esprits.
I was not a bel-esprit, and neither was she. Most loves in this world are not as beautiful as we would like to imagine. Love is like a water wave in the Sol River in that just after a slight whirl, it disappears and never shows again. After a hundred years, it will bring no remembrance to mourn over.
- Would you like to tell me your story?
Then I was just a student at a private school in Sunstream City, and she was nothing but a servant girl of a family that lived outside the city. I looked down upon others because I considered myself a good student. At that time, I thought that I would devote my whole life as a career official. Then love came so soon that it gave me no time to think about it. We met in the Epitaph Mountain and privately became engaged at the Fountainhead Hollows, where we released the carp and silk for the occasion.
- And then what?
After that she married a woodsman man and I became the only Enchanter in the city. From then on, we never met with each other. Our love in the old days is now like a dream, and now, in this world, nothing remains of that love. Not me, not her. Only this carp...
