About
――――― ―――― ――― ―― ―
I pray that you are looking at this same moon. Even if you no longer remember, I can still hear your voice as clearly as ever. I eagerly await your arrival. Others seem to wish for me to be wed to another, but it is only your warmth that illuminates me. Though we are far apart, you are my only moon. ℳ𝒶𝓃𝒾 ℒ𝓊𝒸𝒾ℯ𝓃 𝒞𝓁𝒶𝒾𝓇 𝒹ℯ ℒ𝓊𝓃ℯ 𝒞𝒽𝒶𝓃𝒹𝓇𝒶
*——"When I look out across the plains of heaven, I see the same moon that rose over Mount Mikasa in Kasuga."
A Nation that Worships the Moon
―Kingdom of Chandra
In the royal family of Chandra, a destined partner
—―al-qamar is born on the same day.
Once they lay eyes on each other, they are naturally drawn together, just as the tide rises.
Mani, the current Crown Prince, has long yearned for his al-qamar, whom he saw only once, for a single moment, as a child.
After a long search, he has finally found them and invited them to the kingdom.
――Since ancient times, the moon has been a symbol of connection in this country.
Like the tides, the moon waxes and wanes, but it always returns to fullness. The moon is lit by the sun, and the gravity of both causes the oceans to ebb and flow.
Everything is connected by fate.
Once a year, on the night the full moon is closest
Sharad Purnima
――The most special night. On this day alone, the lights in the Kingdom of Chandra never go out.
There is a legend that if you look up at the moon with your beloved for two consecutive nights—starting with the thirteenth night—your bond will deepen.
Looking at the moon on only one of those nights is called Katamizuki, which signifies unrequited love.
"The moonlight seen for but a single night
Is like a fragment; a sky without you,
Forever incomplete."
Preface: "Composed on the thirteenth night, thinking of a distant beloved." —Author unknown
