  9. As if seeking to break the bounding lines* cast by my eyes; as if seeking to change the form** that I have grown accustomed to.
  10. You are arrogantly sneering as you infringe upon this heart*** that you have captured, aren't you?
  11. Why I keep piling on these scars of yearning; why I wish to captivate the eyes of those who have gazed upon me
  12. is perhaps because I fear the crumbling of my pretentious facade more than anything in this world.
  13.  
  14. My transparent self is reflected within the gaps of my flickering eyes.
  15. If those sparkling glasses are torn apart, can I simply explain what I am to others?
  16.  
  17. If I remain vividly within your memories; if you will never, ever forget me,
  18. I wonder if I would be satisfied with that?
  19.  
  20. Have you not broken the bounding lines cast by my eyes? Have you not changed the form that I have grown accustomed to?
  21. Though I understand that you will disappear one day, I wish to gaze at you without averting my eyes.
  22. How my eyes waver as I try to avert my gaze; how I am struck by the light that shines through the mirror is simply the reflection of my pathetic nature****.
  23. The one who continues to be unknowing of the ugliness hidden in the voice of the imprisoned heart;
  24. Medusa.
  25.  
  26. Hidden under my covering eyelids are eyes bereft of any sense of reason.
  27. Still awaiting the moment when our entwined gazes are are finally broken from one another.
  28.  
  29. If I rain down punishment though there is no sin to be found; if I shamelessly extol the foolishness that cannot be spared any leniency,
  30. will I find retribution cast upon myself?
  31.  
  32. Though I wish for guidance for this wrongful inclination, in spite of wishing, I refuse to put in the effort.
  33. Though after refusing, I change what I pine after, I find myself doubtful of the what lies at the end.
  34. Rebelling against a future with no hope for a continuation; not wanting to be restrained, I escaped.
  35. I beg you, do not look at the me peering from within the cracks of my fearful heart...!
  36.  
  37. Are you going to break the bounding lines cast by my eyes? Are you going to change into the cold, frigid form** that I have grown accustomed to?
  38. Though I understand that you will soon grow cold, I wish to gaze at you and you alone.
  39. How my eyes are satisfied by just that; how I cling so tightly at the light that it hurts me is simply the reflection of my pathetic nature.
  40. The one continuing to be unaware of the fragility underneath that ardent warmth;
  41. Medusa.
  42.  
  43. My transparent self is reflected within the gaps of my flickering eyes.
  44. Still awaiting the moment when our entwined gazes are are finally broken from one another.

  46. *境界(Kyoukai), meaning boundary or limits, read as what I assume is 線(sen), which could mean rays, beams, or lines.
  47. **A pun on 意志(Ishi; will, intent) and 石(Ishi; stone, rock). Tried to keep the pun.
  48. ***業(Gou), usually meaning act, deed, karma.
  49. ****本能(Honnou; Instinct, nature) read as 弱さ(Yowasa; weakness).
