 +//<color #993333>"Teacher, in this tumultuous world...\\
 +Have you thought about your will?"</color>//[(Spoken by Hyacine.)]
 +
 +It was just a joke,\\
 +But the scholar still at the Grove,\\
 +Answered with extreme caution.
 +
 +He has much to say about his posthumous affairs,\\
 +Exhausting all, fearing the smallest omission.
 +
 +//<color #993333>"Teacher... could it be that... you FEAR death?"</color>//[(Spoken by Hyacine.)]\\
 +The assistant asks in concern.\\
 +It was a question needed,\\
 +Yet he gave no direct reply.
 +
 +//<color #993333>"Philosophy is the inquiry into death,\\
 +And I have always considered myself a philosopher."</color>//

 +The assistant recounts all of the scholar's final wishes.\\
 +Each mighty as a mountain, asking what seemed impossible.
 +
 +//<color #993333>"The tombstone must be made of my treasured rare stones,\\
 +Carved with dromas patterns."</color>//
 +
 +But that stone is a miracle of alchemy,\\
 +Tough beyond measure, no chisel could have shaken.
 +
 +//<color #993333>"That's also his plan..."</color>//[(Spoken by Hyacine.)]\\
 +The assistant softly reveals the hidden plot.\\
 +//<color #993333>"He hopes that instead of shedding tears over his death,\\
 +we will find it in us to smile, even in a moment of sorrow."</color>//

 +It's rumored that in the depths of the Grove,\\
 +The scholar left a <color #993333>teaching ingenium</color>,\\
 +Imitating himself to the utmost detail.
 +
 +//<color #993333>"Go back. The living have not exhausted their thoughts."\\
 +"Go back. The dead have no desire to teach their words."</color>//\\
 +The ingenium's words are cold and detached,\\
 +Like the deceased man himself.
 +
 +//<color #993333>"But if you have no one to talk to...\\
 +{{ :readable:saga:demised.scholar:anaxa5-3.png?200|}}
 +Fine. You can sit and converse."</color>//
 +
 +Now the Grove is no longer bustling,\\
 +And the scholar has returned to dust.\\
 +Thus, few in this world now know,\\
 +How he was also troubled by solitude in life.

 +Someone once suggested —\\
 +//<color #993333>"Perhaps your ambition...\\
 +Should also find its place among your final wishes."</color>//[(Spoken by Hyacine.)]
 +
 +//<color #993333>"Pointless notion."</color>//\\
 +He dismissed in derision.
 +
 +//<color #993333>"Unveiling the countenance of the gods is a task for the living."</color>//\\
 +Perhaps that is his haughty position.
 +
 +Such a melancholy topic,\\
 +Yet he insists on feigning a twist, avoiding it altogether.

 ==== 5-5 ==== ==== 5-5 ====
 +Perhaps these chapters should not be retained —\\
 +Most are from the scholar's handwritten drafts,\\
 +Shown without his permission.
 +
 +Yet there seems to be a voice there in remonstration:\\
 +//<color #993333>"It's just the past. What harm is there in revelation?"</color>//
 +

 +Even in passing,\\
 +His hubris still resounds in reverberation.
 +
 +//<color #993333>"The smaller a thing is, the more it shows its weight.\\
 +The more foolish my name is,\\
 +The more glory my achievements will be in comparison."</color>//
