I. In the Courtyard
1-1
On the leaves, the rustling wind plays a melody
As the girl looks over this courtyard petite
And exhales, gently dispersing the palm-held blessings —
The entire yard is lit softly,
Like a dandelion bathed in sunlight.
“Is this courtyard a tad too small?”
“It's okay, Clementine,
As long as it provides warmth plenty.”
The girl makes the courtyard tidy,
And in the evernight lands outside the holy city,
There is now a light curing souls' maladies.

The girl's skills can bring forth miracles.
But today she welcomes a patient quite special.
“Welcome to the Twilight Courtyard.
How can I help you?”
The gravely patient shakes their head.
“The end times are coming… and we all wander more and more.
You may heal our wounds, but you cannot cure despair.”
The girl watches the patient leave,
And her heart swells in sorrow.
“Clementine, prepare some things with me…
I want this place… To be brighter tomorrow.”

The red-head child takes the girl's hands.
“Long time no see, Hyacine!
Are you here in Okhema for a visit, or do you need help from us?”[1]
The girl recounts her needs.
“I want some shining things,
Even if they are considered junk.”
Multicolored paper bags… Crystal-clear glass…
Cottons variously dyed… And jingling wind chimes…
The girl brings them back to the courtyard,
And spares no effort to decorate all around.
And when some fireflies wander in,
The girl is all smiles.
“Little ones, thank you for your light.”
