It was cold and empty. Tohko wasn’t there.
Tohko-whose braids had come unraveled and blown around wildly, who had gripped my arm, whose eyes had been filled with anguish, who had screamed at me and trembled.
When I recalled her pale face or her voice as she asked me, “Why?!” a scarring pain ran through my chest and my breath choked off.
“Why…?”
As soon as I’d spoken the word, my throat closed up, my nostrils flared, and my eyelids burned.
“…Why, Tohko…?”

A snake is in the swamp there.
Rich old spirit’s little girl
Get you up and set a trap
A bead of water ‘pon her neck.
Golden shoes upon her feet,
Call me this and call me that
To the mountain of the field, go, go, go…
