(Nakago gazing down upon a sleeping Soi)

And I longed to touch it and draw it to my breast that I might bask, just a little in its warmth. But I was afraid, for when the stony ice of my heart (stone heart to match the face) began to crack, ugly black bile surged like poison into my blood making me pause with the strength of its grip. And I thought that was all I had to give: pain and bitterness and longing. But hidden away there might be more, I don't think I'll ever know. There's no room for my shadow in your light.
