冬奇妙夢玄 (Winter Bizarre Dream Mystery) ~ Shoulder and a Heel
Chapter 6

The two stars seemingly in opposition to each other. Shoulder and a heel, all belonging to the same constellation of a great hunter.

One was dyed in lapis blue.

One was dyed in garnet red.

Seemingly so different yet the same.

Both of them share a tragic fate that befell upon them, a heiress and an outcast.

Outcast cannot hope of heiress, heiress cannot dream of outcast.

And yet they met on that fateful day. They showed kindness that they were lacking in their lives. They did not judge each other.

Yet ultimately they're still a shoulder and a heel. Shoulder must stay on top, heel must stay on the bottom. And their differences became more and more apparent.

A relationship defined by love envied. They loved each other for their qualities and hated each other for their qualities.

And while they've come to harmonise with each other once more; soon the "Winter Triangle" will drive away the shoulder.

The relentless hounds of hell desperate to separate the lovers, for as shoulder is a shoulder and heel is a heel.

Just as Hikoboshi and Orihime of the summer triangle were separated for their love-infested decadence - so will Shoulder and a Heel.

Distracted and discouraged by the hounds, shoulder would join the triangle, separating itself from the lonely heel.

As it fades.

The tragedy begins to unfold, perhaps it would've been better if they had just stocked to their roles - for they wouldn't have fallen in love, attract the attention of hounds,

And they wouldn't have to suffer in agony.

But alas, stars are rebellious things.

The August Star had descended to put a wedge between the two.
