The Labyrinth 師走と森

“After being with traumatized December, Mori entered December’s unsolved memories trying to heal her, but ended up being a sacrifice to her past.”

"It’s both lucky and dangerous for me to be qualified to enter your labyrinth in this intimate relationship.
If I’m lucky enough to be the right one, I can heal you from inside. But if I’m not, I’ll lose myself and be burnt like a moth in your candlelight. "
--– Mori
