-233- [Return from a Long Absence]

[impure_tale]

[The sound of happy barking in the background.]

It would seem that I took an unexpected leave of absence. My apologies to everyone I did not speak to beforehand, and it is my sincerest hopes that I did not give you a fright.

To the many new arrivals that have come in the time I have been gone: Welcome, and enjoy your stay.

To all others: Happy New Year?

By returning my Hagoromo to me and letting me be free of this place.

[ Hagoromo is an item from Japanese myth, the robes that allow a heavenly maiden (not quite an angel) to return to the heavens. ]

I'm afraid I do not have your Hagoromo.

Is there nothing that pleases you aside from release?

I have been imprisoned for three centuries. Now a mother-to-be is imprisoned with me. I will be free.
