SCENE III. Subaru's bedroom
[Subaru and Sorata enter]
Subaru: Yeah, I think that outfit is best. But Sorata, will you please leave me by myself tonight? I need to pray.
[Karen enters]
Karen: Are you busy? Do you need my help?
Subaru: No, we have gotten ready. So if it's OK, I'd like to please be left alone, and let Sorata go with you, too, since you'll need his help. After all, there are still a lot of preparations.
Karen: All right. Go to bed soon. You'll need your rest.
[Karen and Sorata exit]
Subaru: [starry eyes] Long speech...
Goodbye, mother. Who knows when I'll see you again. I am afraid- I feel like I'm nearly scared to death. I want to call Sorata and mother back to comfort me. Well, what would Sorata be able to do, though. I must do this by myself. I'll get the vial. What if this doesn't work? Will I be married tomorrow?
[picks up his dagger from nearby] No. This will prevent it. I'll leave it right where I can reach it.
[puts it next to his bed] What if this is a poison that Keiichi has made? After all, it would be dishonorable for him to marry me tomorrow, since he already married me to Seishiro. And what if my family found out that? I'm afraid that it could be true, but I think it isn't. After all, he is a good and holy man. What if, when I'm lying in my tomb, I wake up before Seishiro is there to get me? That's a scary idea! Will I suffocate in the vault and die before Seishiro comes? Or if I don't suffocate, wouldn't it be horribly frightening? All the bones of my ancestors and Hokuto are in there. There could be ghosts. Oh, oh, I could go mad in there. Oh, I think I see Hokuto's ghost coming to get Seishiro, who killed her. Stay, Hokuto! Don't come any nearer! [holds up the vial] Seishiro, a toast to you. [He falls down upon his bed, hidden by the curtains around the bed.]
