Toryanse, it’s a traditional Japanese children’s song. :3
It is always waiting.
It is instinct, inescapable; a feeling not unlike the shivering up her spine and quickening of her pulse as she finds new treasures amidst the piles, plucks, severs, frees; a macabre game of hide and seek in which she becomes master and puppet all at once.
And it is far too natural and insidious to stop, too persistent to pass; an addiction and compulsion all its own.
(Toryanse, toryanse - childish lilts chanting forth so many demons in the night-)
And again and again, her hand will find the handle, splinters of wood against her palm preludes to crucifixion and the welcoming kiss of an old friend.
