Chapter 10:

Twas a starry night, howbeit dark in the room

Long time the hope he sought, yet he forgot

As stars shone brightly, he stood lost in thought

As stars seemed white, he regarded red with a halt.

The disgusting room and the fetidness therein

As the knife he held was wet and red

Shivering he was after a while

As he came to realise himself.

" Tekyuro Katsou dear!"

Afraid he was as he was called

Within the darkness he created

Came the demon who ghostly chortled.

" Look what you've done, my dear"

The demon sneered and pointed at

The young girl who knew nothing

Besides bringing tea to Katsou.

" Run amok you did" the demon said

Mortal and coward Katsou was

" My hand that touched, a blade that cut

Had ended her?" he questioned.

A gyre his mind became

As the demon sneered and pointed at

The one whose hand that grasped a knife

"Yes, my dear, she is gone

Gone forever, gone for good

And twas you under this starry night

Who took the knife and pierced the chest

Of one maiden who did things right

The bloody chest and the pierced heart thereof

Twas you, Katsou, darling, who did the job."

A bigger gyre his mind became

As the fetidness from his own clothes

The same it was of the fetid room

As blood dripped down from the very knife

He pulled out from the girl who screamed

A piercing scream twas and lied on the ground.

As it was drier and thicker, the crimson blood

The demon had the final laugh

" A nice face you have there, Katsou dear!"

Twas a starry night, howbeit dark in the room.

His broken mind
