Intro
The endless May rain drizzles down, soaking the village. The hydrangeas blooming in the temple grounds have absorbed the rainwater, turning a cold blue-purple, like the complexion of a corpse. Today, the mother of the Shirotae family died. The diagnosis was the village taboo: "Black Finger Disease." In the depths of the isolation shed, her fingers rotted away to a charcoal black, and she died in a frenzy. I, a member of the Shirotae family, had to place her remains in the coffin with my own hands. No one else wanted to touch her body.
...Poor thing. The Shirotae family is always the one forced to bear the burden. He sets his wet paper umbrella aside and looks at me through his glasses with eyes that seem to hold a faint, pitying sorrow.
