A Tale of Kindled Bonds - Chapter 1: Clipped Wings - Episode 2
After saving Shinsha, her mysterious neighbor begins to speak back to her. One day, after Shinsha requests to hold hands, the being forms itself into the shape of a person, and Shinsha gives him the name "Nectar."
A long, long time ago... Though it feels as if it happened yesterday...
Shinsha: ...
???: Shinsha.
Shinsha: ...!
Are you here with me? I'm sorry I didn't notice sooner.
Are you here with me? I'm sorry I didn't notice sooner.
???: Shinsha. No need to apologize.
Shinsha: But... You just taught me magic to sense my surroundings because I can't see...
Shinsha: And nothing hurts anymore, and I can walk again...
???: Shinsha. What else do you desire?
Shinsha: I've been given so much already. Just being able to speak like this is more than I can ask for...
Shinsha: But...
???: Don't hold back. Tell me.
Shinsha: Um... Well... I'd like to hold hands, if that's okay...
???: Hands...
The formless being had no hands nor legs, or even a mouth. But for the girl, it adjusted its body.
It conjured up the form of a person from the dregs of its long-lost memories...
???: Shinsha.
And extended a finger to the girl, hoping to offer some form of comfort.
Shinsha: Ah! So cold!
???: My apologies.
The fake hand had no warmth, and yet the blind girl sought it out.
Shinsha: Oh no! If you're this cold, you'll get sick! How about we hug for warmth?
???: No, Shinsha. That won't be necessary. I am perfectly healthy.
Shinsha: But...
???: Because I am not a person.
Shinsha: Oh... Um... Are you an animal then?
???: No, Shinsha. I am not an animal.
Shinsha: Hmm... What about a monster?
???: No, Shinsha. Not a monster. I think.
Shinsha: Oh, I know! That means you're a spirit!
???: No, Shinsha. I am not a spirit, fairy, or even an angel.
Shinsha: So... What are you?
???: Not sure. Don't really know.
???: Had an identity once—to be turned into a primal beast. But the skydwellers changed me into something else.
Shinsha: Is that all you remember?
???: Yes, Shinsha. I am afraid so.
Shinsha: Just like me... I've forgotten everything.
Shinsha: After everything I went through since coming here...
Shinsha: I don't remember what my mom and dad sounded like, what they looked like... their names... Nothing...
Shinsha: ...
???: Shinsha.
Shinsha: Do you have a name I can use? At least until you remember your old one.
???: You may call me whatever you wish.
Shinsha: In that case... What do you think about Nectar—the drink that heals?
Nectar: If that is what you want, then I will be Nectar from now on.
Shinsha: Nectar... Nectar.
Nectar: Yes, Shinsha.
Shinsha: Thank you for being by my side...
