"From today onwards, you're my friend!" said the little blonde girl happily as she looked up at the little dolls.

"As for me, I've always been very favored by everyone...... Everyone said I was special. 』

"But. 』

"Whether it's studying together, chatting together, or playing together, I'm just being given one-sidedly. 』

"No one treats me as an equal, and no one shares the same feelings with me......

"So, Penglai. 』

"You're my first friend. 』

"Alice Margot Royd makes a pact here. 』

"Definitely, it will allow you to have a human heart. 』

......

......

In the afternoon, Sanae in the valley of the east wind was at the same time as the god of dogami was planning to go to Alice's mansion together.

In the large library in the basement of the Red Devil Pavilion.

The house's witch, Pache Norregi, yawned and walked out of her bedroom.

"What's going on out there, what's going on?"

"Oh, the boss woke up?" the scientist put down the book in his hand and stood up to prepare tea, "It seems that the shrine maiden lady from the shrine has come to visit just now, as if she is looking for someone." ”

Pache shook her head, not interested.

"I've been asleep for the past two days, have you helped me brush up on enough materials?"

"The console is still charging. ”

"You can play with a charge, right?" Patchouli expressed her displeasure with the passive employees, and then looked at the scientist's desk, "The Study of the Gods?

"I'm not so ambitious as to get this far," the scientist explained, waving his hand, "Miss Alice just came to borrow a book and talked about related topics, so she was a little interested. ”

"Alice, why don't you call me up?"

She seemed to be in a hurry, and she looked in a hurry. The scientist poured the hot tea on Pache Teau's desk.

"Remember to let me know next time. Witches should support each other, and she needs to grow in all aspects, whether she is a witch or a puppeteer. ”

"Speaking of which,There's one thing that doesn't seem good.、She knew that the Hina-shita of the Doshen Key Mountain was made from a chick puppet monster.,Will it be ......?"

"Has she seen the Indigenous Deity Survey Citation?"

"Yes. ”

"It doesn't matter, since it's a book on the shelf, it's naturally for people to read, and it's only a matter of time before she sees it. ”

"I mean, Miss Alice has always been very interested in self-discipline dolls, and if she learns about the doom god, will it ......?"

"No, it's been almost half a year since the last 'Penglai Humanoid Incident', and Alice Margot Royd is no longer what it used to be. ”

"The boss was just saying that she was too young as a witch?"

"There's no conflict between being a witch who is stronger than before, but still an unfit witch," Pache said, taking the console out of the battery mechanism and sitting down at her desk, "You may not be able to tell, but it's easy for me and other immortals to find dissonance in her—she's the obvious outlier." ”

"Our witches, whose concept of survival is far different from that of human beings, is the proper meaning of plain and timeless. And Alice, since the death of the human girl named Tsuki-rin, has become more and more human-like...... Warm feelings should not appear in us, and this is an extremely dangerous signal for the immortals. ”

"I don't think there's anything wrong with a warm relationship, of course, as long as you don't lose your reason. "Scientists are properly expressing their opinions.

"It's not a difference between good and bad, it's a philosophy that survives in this world. But ......," Pache said, smiling as she glanced at the scientist, "as long as you know how to make trade-offs, immortals can also have fiery feelings." ”

The topic of feelings is a bit bitter for scientists, and they can't help but push their glasses.

"Speaking of which, the puppet lady who calls herself 'Penglai' hasn't been here since last fall. ”

"Well, I said that I would sew a doll for my sister 'Shanghai' and give it to her favorite Alice as a gift, and I didn't want to ghostwrite, and insisted on writing letters to Alice with my crooked handwriting pretending to be a fan in the village, what a cute and clumsy child who was also very stubborn. Pache couldn't help but smile as she looked back at the past.

"I didn't expect that even the boss who usually stayed at home would go out in person," although the battle scientist in the Sunflower Field did not see it with his own eyes, but he knew the cause and effect very well, "The result turned out to be because of the relationship between the magic guide book...... I can't help but feel sorry. ”

......

......

It all went back a few months.

It was noon one day last fall.

Métikhin Melankle arrives in front of Alice Margot Royd's mansion in the Forest of Magic.

She is a doll abandoned by humans on the lily of the valley garden, absorbing the poison of lily of the valley and turning into a monster over the years. Even though they are still very young as a youkai, they have their own clear survival goals - to liberate the puppets and bring freedom to those puppets who are enslaved.

It's a pity that whether it's Nameless Hill or Rim Mound, among the abandoned dolls, she is the only one who can move freely and can not get help from her kind, so she can only slowly and carefully expand her range of activities. Until she happened to notice a small puppet that moved freely in Gensokyo-"Penglai".

Alice, who didn't know anything about it, saw a "living" doll for the first time that day.

In front of the courtyard, she approached Métikhin with surprise and carefully conveyed her friendly intentions.

The poison puppet ignored it and began to attack without saying a word.

The hostility came so suddenly, that Alice, who was immersed in joy, was careless and too late to take precautions.

was blocked by a Penglai puppet that was not controlled by her.

Maybe it's the automatic defense technique that was set up that worked, right? Alice fell on Métichen's body and was unaware of Penglai's abnormality.

It's just that the attack of the poison puppet has not stopped, and the more "offensive" Penglai puppet can't continue to block the attack, so in order to protect its owner, it took the initiative to attack Métixin.

This is not something that autodefense can do.

It's Penglai, who likes Alice the most, and makes an action to protect her friends. The indomitable attack easily cut off the arm of the poisonous puppet with no combat experience.

But Alice angrily stopped him.

The unintentional words hurt the Penglai puppet's heart, and she fled from Alice's side by shouting, "Alice won't say such a thing!"

It's always too late to wake up.

Whether regret or sadness, Alice finally ushered in a reconciliation with the Penglai puppet - a self-discipline puppet technique realized by the wish to manifest the magic book "Grimoire" in her possession, sealing the power of the rampage in the sunflower field, and the Penglai puppet said goodbye to Alice with a smile, and everything was settled at that time.

Since then, the Penglai puppet has never acted autonomously.

But Alice always believed that the day would come when they would meet again.

......

......

The mansion of the Forest of Magic, in the bedroom of Alice the Witch.

Kicking Mo Ming out of the room, Sanae of Dongfeng Valley redressed the sleeping god of misfortune.

But because I don't know how to tie the ribbon beautifully, I am worried.

I also realized it later.

Although she has been monitoring the actions of the god of evil for days, she still has changed in a place that she does not know.

"Possessed by a god from the moon. It seems to say so.

It's not incomprehensible, but there's so much to explain.

Sanae of Dongfenggu sat in front of the bed in annoyance, looking at the Kagiyama Hina who was sleeping on the side, and her mind was in chaos.

In the end, she decided to carry the god of evil back to Youkai Mountain.

This matter and its imminent consequences will need to be discussed with the two gods in charge.

......

......

In the mansion, Mo Ming and Alice were left.

The witch sat dignifiedly, listening to Mo Ming continue to quibble without saying a word.

"I really didn't expect her to come suddenly," Mo Ming took out a few pieces of rune paper with the formation drawn from the pocket in the placket and patted it, "If I could move, I would have slipped out for help a long time ago, and if I couldn't move, there was no way to do it." ”

Alice took a sip of the tea on the table, tilted her head, and put the teacup back.

Finally said the first words from downstairs to now.

"Isn't it fun to be courted by such a beautiful girl?"

"Of course...... It's impossible at all," Mo Ming's body is not afraid of shadows, "I am a person who has seen the world, how can I be easily shaken by a mere beauty?"

"Hmph. ”

"Don't believe it, since I came to Gensokyo, my vision has indeed been much higher," I can't wear a fart for thousands of people, "If others don't mention it, just say that the blonde witch in front of me is ......"

There was a "click", and there was a sudden sound of metal and wooden seats colliding between Mo Ming's legs.

Looking down, a small doll dressed in a red maid outfit was holding a spear and pierced Mo Ming's trouser leg.

"If you dare to tease Alice again, you will definitely pay the price!" The "Penglai" doll opened and closed with a small mouth, making a crisp girl's voice.

"Penglai!" Alice stood up, her mouth slightly open, her face full of surprise and disbelief.

"Alice, we're meeting again. Flying beside Penglai was another puppet named "Shanghai" that accompanied her day and night.

"How are you ......" Alice took a step forward, but immediately stopped.

This is not a touching reunion with her two puppet friends, as a puppeteer, she suddenly realizes the seriousness of the matter at this moment.

In the next second, a large number of dolls flew out of several other rooms upstairs, from the basement.

"Alice ......"

"Miss Alice!"

"Alice, when is today's cleaning going to begin?"

"Alice, it's my turn to name me!"

The dolls flew through the air, chattering around Alice.

Most of the dolls have different shades of maid outfits, but there are also some differences.

One of the two dolls flying from the basement was a girl with a broom and a wizard's hat, grinning widely, "Alice, I've come to play daze with you!"

The other was particularly special, the only male doll with black hair and wearing a red-and-white costume of the god, and said, "Yo, Alice, why haven't you come to see me these days, it's so boring to be alone." The tone is quite similar, but it's a pity that the puppet's voice is a little immature, and it feels like a child.

Miss Witch's face was flushed, and seeing that she was about to be surrounded by puppets, she tried to reach out and push Mo Ming, who was sitting there, down: "That, didn't you say before, do you think of something urgent to deal with? I can't leave here for the time being, and I'll go to you later." ”

Mo Ming was also taken aback by the scene in front of him, but quickly calmed down and thought about it, and asked later: "Is this ...... While I do have something to leave, it's not my style to leave my friends in trouble behind. ”

All the puppets made on weekdays are out of control, and they act separately as if they have their own lives.

Before Alice could reply, the door slammed open.

Through the window, I saw the familiar blonde figure standing in the courtyard - the poison doll Métichin.

I don't know what I remembered, but Alice's face changed from the flush of joy she had been with to it to a calm one, and she sighed as if she realized something.

looked at Mo Ming and said, "The next thing is my own business, don't come out no matter what happens." Since you have important matters to deal with and the ability to do spatial magic, it may be a good choice to leave on your own at this time. ”

After speaking, he didn't care about Mo Ming's reaction, and was surrounded by a bunch of puppets and walked towards the courtyard.

......

......

"Miss Alice, meet again. Métikhin lifted her skirt and bowed, which was her newfound social etiquette.

"Medie, I ask you, is this what you did?" the dolls around Alice surrounded her, looking quite spectacular.

Métikhin shook her head: "Big sister said that this is caused by the power of the gods. ”

The power of the gods...... Alice immediately remembered the "God Long Night" that Mo Ming said. was so distracted that she forgot to ask who the big sister she was talking about.

Reassured, Alice smiled at Métichen and said, "You didn't do it, then I'm relieved, these children ......"

"Miss Alice, don't get me wrong," the poison puppet Métikhin shook her head, "I'm aiming to liberate the dolls, and for me, as a puppeteer, you're an enemy of fate, and I can't have the slightest kindness to you." ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of talisman paper full of spells from his pocket, and placed it in front of him, burning suddenly.

The dolls surrounding Alice stopped moving, and then flew to Métichen's side.

"There are traces of the master's divine power, as long as you know how to control it......" Métikhin was surrounded by dozens of small dolls, and they no longer talked babbling, but fixed their eyes on Alice.

Occasionally, a few of them were holding weapons, and they were all facing the witch who had made them.

"Being killed by your own puppets is a curtain call that suits you...... Miss Alice. ”

Facing the puppets that had fought alongside her, the weapons they brandished at her, Alice's eyes showed pity, and she didn't dodge in the slightest, only closed her eyes.

"Ding—"

When I opened my eyes again, I saw a familiar small figure in red and blue standing in front of me, holding a gun and shield.

It is the "Shanghai" and "Penglai" that have accompanied him for the longest time.

This scene is so familiar, like the scene of last autumn, that Alice can't help but be in a trance.

"How is that possible? Aren't they being affected?" the poison doll exclaimed in surprise.

Alice really seems to have given up on resistance just now, could it be that the two puppets have been acting with their own consciousness before? Could it be that the Magic Book has once again affected them?

"Alice, now is not the time to doze off. "The face of the 'Penglai' doll is as bright as it was in the past, exuding the brilliance of awe-inspiring will.

"Everyone, wake up, how can you attack Alice!" The "Shanghai" puppet shook his arm at the puppets opposite in a panic.

"Shanghai...... Penglai ......" Alice looked at her former friend and smiled miserably, "I'm sorry everyone." ”

"What did Alice say!" Penglai swung a blow dissatisfied, blocking the blade that stabbed Alice, "Give me a good fight!"

But Alice still stood still, with no intention of acting.

Shanghai and Penglai were outnumbered, and it was gradually difficult to support the attacks of many puppets.

The sword and spear easily cut through Alice's skin, and blood flowed out.

"Miss Witch's blood is red, too!" said the bloodless puppet monster Métisin.

"Alice, I'm running out of this!" Penglai raised his spear sideways and aimed it at Métikhin.

"Penglai, stop. ”

"But ......"

"Miss Métichin, are you? Hello, first meeting. ”

In the battle between dolls, monsters, and witches, a human suddenly appears who is powerless.

Mo Ming finally decided to walk out of the room.

......

......

"Sure enough, it's the turn of the righteous hero. "The poison puppet doesn't seem to be a surprise.

"I'm sorry, Alice," Mo Ming glanced at the scarred Alice behind her, and then turned to Métichen, "I know it's your personal vendetta, and I'm not so confused that I have to intervene - but there are some things that Alice can only say for her as a friend of mine because of her own position." ”

Mo Ming decided to come forward after thinking about it for a long time.

Last autumn, when Mo Ming appeared in the sunflower field, Penglai's humanoid mutation had come to an end. He didn't know the details of the incident, and he didn't bother to inquire about the Red Devil Pavilion or anyone else after that. At that time, I once saw Alice sitting alone under the tree, holding the magic book and silently holding tears, and knew that this must be a very important matter for Alice, and she must come forward to solve it herself.

But for now, Alice has reached her limits.

Neither willing to harm the poison puppet, nor able to fight against and destroy the puppet army made by himself.

Although there are still very important things to do at the moment, you can't leave Alice alone - you have to help.

Mo Ming took a deep breath and slowly approached the poisonous puppet Métixin.

"Miss Doll, why are you hurting Alice?"

"Liberate the dolls. ”

"So you hate humans, you hate puppeteers, they serve dolls, and you want to set them free, right?"

"That's right. ”

"So what are you doing now? You've enslaved Alice's cherished dolls and ordered them to attack your friends?"

“......”

"I don't know what kind of pain you went through to decide to become an enemy of the puppeteer, but the puppet was born into this world because of the puppeteer. ”

“......”

"You're doing this, it's the same as letting them fight in the same room, cannibalism, it's really out-and-"

Suddenly, the poisonous puppet in front of him moved.

It was not with the puppets around him, but he personally attacked Mo Ming.

A blow passed through the chest, and blood dripped down the courtyard.

The space magic pages that were too late to use were scattered on the ground, and Mo Ming was unable to speak anymore due to the great pain, and slowly collapsed in a pool of blood.

"I'm almost convinced," Métichin shook off the blood drops on her arm, "Fortunately, the big sister warned me beforehand, don't believe a word about what you say about the big brother who will appear out of nowhere......"

......

......

Alice's eyes widened as she witnessed the scene in front of her.

As if in disbelief, he slowly walked to Mo Ming's side and knelt down beside him.

Gently lifted Mo Ming's body up, resting his head on his lap.

Looking at his reddened and painful expression, his body twitched, and his mouth flowed fluid, as if it had been poisoned into the bone marrow.

Alice swiped in the air and took out a book bound in a quaint book.

The keyhole opened, and the pages flipped quickly before stopping.

The light shrouded Mo Ming's body, which seemed to make him lose consciousness and stop struggling in pain.

Alice continues to channel her magic into the Wizard Book, as if she has forgotten what is happening around her.

Naturally, the opportunity could not be easily missed, and Métikhin controlled the dolls to launch the most violent attack.

"Enough is enough, Méti. ”

A green-haired woman with a parasol emerges from the forest and walks into Alice's courtyard.

"But, Yuxiang, I ......"

"Carrying out your will isn't a bad thing in itself, and I didn't stop you, but," Yuuka continued, "Meti, you're being taken advantage of. ”

Shanghai and Penglai blocked the pace of the wind and the fragrance.

"Let me go. "It doesn't seem like there's any intention of breaking through.

Alice didn't look over there, just nodded.

Youxiang squatted down in front of Mo Ming and put the parasol on the ground. He took the green plant powder from his bosom and poured it into his mouth.

The healing power of nature poured into his body—the power of the great youkai Kazami Yuka.

"Don't worry, your life is no longer in danger," Kazami Yuka withdrew his hand, picked up the parasol and stood up, "But the poison has entered the bloodstream and needs long-term recuperation to eradicate it." ”

"Yuka, did you know this was going to happen, why didn't you stop her?" Alice's voice came faintly.

"Métikhin is my friend, not my junior," Yuka sighed, "and I have no intention of judging your grievances. ”

"But at least you should be able to tell the difference between right and wrong better than the young Métichin. ”

"And what about you, Alice, you could have done a better way to deal with it," Kazami sighed, "Is it because of Mo Ming's presence, that dependence makes you weak?"

Alice stroked Mo Ming's side face and was silent.

"Sometimes, doing nothing is also an option. ”

"That's why you've hurt your friends and you've fallen into such a field. ”

"You're right," Alice said in a low voice, "and the ridiculous witch thinks she's grown, but she's still as clumsy as ever. ”

In the face of Alice's self-deprecation, Kazami Yuka was speechless.

"Yuka, those kids, just spoke to me. ”

"You mean...... The dolls?"

"Hmm. For a moment, I thought it was the favor of the god of luck...... It's ridiculous. ”

"The mind created by the power of the gods is destined to last long. ”

"No, their minds have been wiped out, and all the hope that a single charm has given me has been wiped out," Alice's voice trembled slightly, "Métichen, that kid doesn't know what he's done. ”

"It's good that you don't have a mind yourself, and it's really cruel to give hope to life and kill it instantly," Kazami Yuka admitted Alice's statement, "It's not Meti's intention, but it's ...... Stupidity is fault, Meti, and you did it wrong this time. ”

"I'm not wrong!"

Alice laughed miserably and shook her head: "Métichen, I could have ......expelled the power of the gods in these puppets controlled by you."

"But, even if you manipulated them to attack me, you didn't do it, do you know why?"

"To do that would be to completely erase the will of these children who once existed – too cruel for them and too cruel for me. ”

"And I can't fight them either...... When I realized that they might be conscious, I couldn't convince myself to do anything that might destroy them. ”

So, Alice behaved like she had just done...... But because of this, he was covered in scars.

"Actually, you have another choice," Yuka said suddenly, "Alice Margot Royd." ”

"Since these ownerless gods have chosen to live on these puppets, it may be some kind of predestined cause and effect, if you are willing to use it......

"You want me to be the god of the puppets?" Alice instantly understood what she meant, and asked rhetorically.

"The puppeteer becomes a puppet god, which seems to be a kind of fate. ”

"Yuxiang, you take it for granted. ”

"It looks like I've coolly rejected it. Kazami Yuka was not annoyed, but smiled.

"I've been taught many things by humans," Alice rubbed Mo Ming's face, "Friends are supposed to support each other, and it has nothing to do with whether they have power or not. ”

"These puppets are my friends, and I shouldn't have the power to decide their fate. ”

"But I promised to give them people's hearts, this is a covenant between friends—it is not a miracle caused by a monster or a god, but a love and friendship that understands each other's weakness and powerlessness, but can still support and support each other equally and strongly. ”

"Self-discipline doll - one day I will make it," Alice Margotroyd regained her composure as if she had made up her mind at this moment, "so I will never be a god." ”

After speaking, he reopened his eyes, his eyes full of determination.

"Alice, both they and I are grateful," the Penglai puppet suddenly spoke, "Don't hesitate any longer, you don't want them to become puppets and fight with their favorite you, do you?"

"Cheer up, Alice!" the Shanghai puppet was also cheering on, "I'll complain to you again when we meet next time!"

"Well, that day will come. Alice was convinced.

The magic is back in and the puppet is back on track.

The power of the gods crumbled and vanished into the air.

......

......

Métikhin watched this scene in amazement.

"Yuka, did I do something wrong?"

Kazami Yuka shook her head and didn't speak.

Alice looked back at the little poisonous doll, she was still so young, and the unworldly monster didn't know how to be human.

"Métikhin, the puppeteer and the puppet are supposed to be friends. ”

"I don't believe it! That's not what Big Sister said!"

"Rather than listening to others, why not see it yourself?" Alice said calmly, "The puppeteer loves her dolls as it is natural for a parent to love her children." ”

"Liar, I don't believe it!" Métikhin yelled.

"Métichn, I'm not lying," Alice stood up with Mo Ming, who had fallen into a coma, on her shoulders, and looked at the little poisonous puppet monster, "I was worried that you were alone, and I felt lonely, and I made a doll for you that belonged to you—"

"I don't believe Alice, how do I ......know if you make so many dolls"

"Take a good look at her, you can understand. ”

Among the many dolls that have lost their sense of self, one of them has the same golden curls as her, the same headband on her head, and her dress is the color of her upside down, leaping out of it and standing in front of Métisin.

"That child was born for you......"

"I don't want your stuff. Although he understood that this was not false, he still refused Alice's favor like a angry child.

"That's really...... Sad, Miss Métichen. ”

Alice looked at her, then at the little doll, her eyes full of pity.

"Did you know that puppeteers don't abandon dolls, because every puppet is the work of the puppeteer? The only people who do this are those who accept dolls as gifts, because they don't know how to rarity because they can get them so easily. ”

“......”

"Métichin, it's a pity that you just abandoned this child. You are the most important person to her, but you did not hesitate to abandon ......"

"Say no more! Say no more!" Métikhin stomped to herself.

Somewhat undaring, she quietly glanced at the little girl standing in front of her.

"I ...... I ......"

"Take it, this kid will be your friend. ”

Métikhin held out her hand, and the blonde puppet flew into her palm, looking up at her.

"Does she have a name?" asked Métichin, carefully holding the doll.

"As her friend, you should name her yourself. ”

"I ...... I want to call her Lily of the Valley. ”

"Not a bad name, she'll be happy. ”

Holding the small figure in her palm, Métikhin smiled tentatively at the doll.

The doll stood still, staring at Métichen, motionless.

After a while, he raised his head again and looked at Alice, who was standing there and holding Mo Ming, who was in a coma.

"I ...... Can you really take her?"

"As I said, this child was born for you. ”

"Only you have the right to take her. ”

Kazami Yuka looked at Alice and nodded.

Led Métihin out of the courtyard.

"Woo ......"

"Really, it's obviously a puppet, don't learn from humans crying noses, there's no shame. ”

"Don't touch my lily of the valley!"

"Good, good, don't touch, don't touch......"

......

......

In the distance, behind a large tree in the Forest of Magic, a white-haired woman was leaning back.

The creator god of the demon world, Shenqi, has been here for a long time.

The footsteps approached, and the Holy White Lotus Master, who had rushed from the earth, finally found her friend.

"Why, seeing our princess in danger and being indifferent, it doesn't look like the god I know. ”

"There is no need for you to slander. ”

"Then why are you hiding here and not showing up?"

"Alice, who holds Grimoire, has more power than anyone could have imagined. ”

"Oh, I've heard of that, but she'...... I didn't use that book much, did I?"

"In this world, there are many questions that cannot be answered by violence. ”

Saint Bailian suddenly said: "The dilemma faced by this child is a choice that has nothing to do with strength, so even if she falls into such an embarrassing situation, she does not use Grimoire." ”

"Although I am very unwilling, I can't do more than the magic guide book for that child," Shenqi sighed, "that book can't help Xiao Ai, even if I come forward, I can't do anything." ”

"As far as I know, the demon god Shenqi is more than that, at least for the puppets that Alice cares about, as long as you ......"

"That's not what Xiao Ai wants. ”

"Do you know what she wants?"

"What Xiao Ai thinks, only she knows, what Xiao Ai wants, only she can get. It is something that no one else can give. ”

"Is this what you learned after so many years of locking yourself in your room after Miss Alice left the Demon Realm?"

"Although human beings are ignorant, they know how to care for the people around them better than our immortals. Sometimes, they see more clearly. ”

"As the ballad goes—"

Shen Qi smiled and leaned against the tree with his hands behind his back, looking up at the night sky from the gap in the forest.

"She came through me, but she does not belong to me. ”

"I can give her love, but I can't give her ideas. ”

"Because she has her own ideas. ”

......

......

Yuxiang and Métixin's voices faded away.

Alice breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the pain in her body hit her instantly.

Mo Ming's breathing on her shoulder gradually stabilized, and Miss Witch gently shook the man on her shoulder and rubbed her head.

"I usually look naughty, but now it's quiet...... Silly. ”

"Go back and get some rest. ”

"I can't do what you're going to do next, and I can't do it for you. ”

It's night, and the moon is like a wash.
