Imitations 4 (after battle)

Ryōshū stops one of the fleeing enemies with a swift swing of her scabbard.

Ugh...

I normally couldn't give any less of a crap about what kind of art the Ring makes.

But this one... I find this one quite interesting.

The Ring playing at being the Öufi... What is this, some kind of pop art?

They're... the Ring?

<What's the Ring? The Middle's neighbor, or something?>

Neighbor... ha ha. Yeah, I don't really know much about them. What I do know is that they are all at least halfway insane. Obsessed with what's beautiful and all that...

They run their own gallery and display their own art, but none of their work is quite to my taste.

How... pitiful... you... do not understand the true philosophical beauty of Pointillism...

Is a Maestro involved in this? Where are they?

A Maestro wouldn't bother to be in a place like this, would they...? Besides, we're not even a part of the Ring anymore.

Then what are you?

Ahahahahaha! You think I'd tell you that so easi -

Heathcliff tore the man's head clean off with a full swing of his club.

None of this chaos mattered to him.

Only the coffin he was walking toward mattered.

Catherine's coffin.
