chapter 12: Crimson Hill

[NOTE: The most important thing that goes missing in the localization is that when Takuya talks about going home, he's not talking about his house, but the "hometown" that's been appearing in his and Sayuri's dreams.]

夕日に溶け込む人影がこちらに向かっている。人影はうつむきながら何事かつぶやいている井上タクヤだった。

西条…ぼく…帰れないんだ……。

Ｓｏｍｅｏｎｅ　ｉｓ　ｃｏｍｉｎｇａｎｄ　ｌｏｏｋｓ　ｄｏｗｎｗａｒｄｔａｌｋｉｎｇ　ｔｏ　ｈｉｍｓｅｌｆ．Ｉｔ’ｓ　Ｔａｋｕｙａ　Ｉｎｏｕｅ．

Ａｔｓｕｋｉ，　Ｉ　ｃａｎ’ｔ　ｇｏ　ｈｏｍｅ．

/A figure headed towards Atsuki, melting into the setting sun. It was Inoue Takuya. He was looking down and mumbling about something./

[TAKUYA:] Saijou... I... I can't go home.

----

帰りたくても帰れないんだ。どうすればいい？

もう頭の中がぐちゃぐちゃになって、わけがわからない……。

Ｉ　ｗａｎｔ　ｔｏ　ｂｕｔｃａｎ’ｔ！

Ｍｙ　ｍｉｎｄ　ｉｓ　ａ　ｍｅｓｓ．Ｗｈａｔ　ｓｈｏｕｌｄ　Ｉ　ｄｏ？

[TAKUYA:] I want to, but I can't. What should I do?

My head is a mess. I don't know what's going on...

----

ここが現実なのか、それともまだ夢の中なのかさえわからない。

ぼくは夢の中で、帰るべき場所と仲間たちと出会った。

Ｉｓ　ｔｈｉｓ　ａｌｌ　ｒｅａｌ？Ｏｒ　ｉｓ　ｔｈｉｓ　ａ　ｄｒｅａｍ？

Ｉ　ｆｏｕｎｄ　ｅｖｅｒｙｔｈｉｎｇ　Ｉｗａｓ　ｌｏｏｋｉｎｇ　ｆｏｒ．

[TAKUYA:] I don't even know if this is reality or just another dream.

In my dreams, I found my friends and the place I'm supposed to go home to.

----

心休まる、ぼくがぼくで居れる場所。色鮮やかな体験で、大切な記憶……。

今まで自分が生きてきた記憶なんて薄っぺらい物と気づいた。

Ｉｔ　ｗａｓ　ａｌｌ　ｖｅｒｙ　ｖｉｖｉｄａｎｄ　ｉｍｐｏｒｔａｎｔ．

Ｍｙ　ｏｌｄ　ｌｉｆｅ　ｄｏｅｓｎ’ｔｓｅｅｍ　ｉｍｐｏｒｔａｎｔ　ａｎｙｍｏｒｅ．

[TAKUYA:] The place where my mind is at peace and I can be myself. It was so vivid and real. My most treasured memory...

I realized how cheap all my other memories in life have been.

----

だけど…もう無理なんだ……。

眠っても眠れない。このつらさ、君にわかる？

Ａｎｄ　ｎｏｗ．．．

Ｉ　ｔｒｙ　ｔｏ　ｓｌｅｅｐ　ｂｕｔ　ｃａｎ’ｔＤｏ　ｙｏｕ　ｕｎｄｅｒｓｔａｎｄ？

[TAKUYA:] But... it's hopeless...

I try to sleep but I can't. Do you know how painful that is?

----

きっと何かしないとダメなんだ。そうさそうに決まっている。

ぼくは見捨てられた……。

Ｉ　ｈａｖｅ　ｔｏ　ｄｏ　ｓｏｍｅｔｈｉｎｇ．Ｙｅａｈ，　Ｉ　ｓｈｏｕｌｄ．

Ｉ　ｗａｓ　ｄｕｍｐｅｄ．

[TAKUYA:] I've gotta do something about it. Yeah. I know it.

I was abandoned...

----

なにもかもがウソの世界にぼくは置いていかれたんだ！

タクヤの心に激しい殺意の思念が浮かび上がった。

Ｔｈｅｙ　ｌｅｔ　ｍｅ　ｇｏ　ｉｎ　ａｗｏｒｌｄ　ｏｆ　ｄａｒｋｎｅｓｓ．

Ｔｈｅ　ｓｔｒｏｎｇ　ｍｕｒｄｅｒｏｕｓＳｈｉｎｅｎ　ｇｒｏｗｓ　ｓｔｒｏｎｇｉｎ　ｈｉｓ　ｈｅａｒｔ．

[TAKUYA:] They left me here in this fake world full of lies!

/A Thought full of murderous rage rose up in Takuya's mind./

=======

帰れないＣａｎ’ｔ　Ｇｏ　Ｂａｃｋ Can't Go Home

愛しい場所を想う悲しい思念。楽園から追放されたかのようなつらく悲しげな気持ちと、誰彼かまわず攻撃をしかける怒りに満ちている。

Ａ　ｌｏｎｅｌｙ　Ｓｈｉｎｅｎ．Ｉｔ’ｓ　ｆｉｌｌｅｄ　ｗｉｔｈ　ａｓｈａｒｐ　ａｇｇｒｅｓｓｉｏｎａｎｄ　ａ　ｄｅｅｐｌｏｎｌｉｎｅｓｓ．

An unhappy Thought preoccupied with a beloved place. Feelings of pain as though he's been exiled from Paradise are mingled with an anger ready to strike out at anyone and everyone.

-----

もう帰れない

あそこに戻れないなぜなんだ？

Ｉ　ｃａｎ’ｔ　ｇｏ　ｂａｃｋ

[TAKUYA:] The real world and the dream world switched.

I lost the ability to tell which is which...

[NOTE: If you picked FIX, the scene ends here. I've had to use some awkward phrasing to make these preceding sentences fit both versions of the scene in English. If I could choose, I'd put some of them in present tense for the version where you don't defeat his Silent.]

Okay, see you next week at school.

me: I'm a homebody i like to stay at home!

the home:

muddles my perception of time

Changes in both size and distance

lulls me into sense of safety and twist it into an oppressive paranoia inducing hellouse-scape

compels me to forget my own autonomous existence

waters down the outside and/ or exaggerate it to mythical extent

shrinks front door perron when i ascend, jarringly draws it out when i descend.

all its windows views are other walls of itself

the backyard fence looms in every horizon

bitter to abandonment of what belongs under its roof, including me when i go out to buy some good ol orange fanta

doesn’t look for me under its roof, it always knows where I'm.

when it sleeps doors never open, i don’t know it’s sleeping schedule

whatever happens silently around the corners is real, my apprehension is valid and understandable, and indeed i should panic.

Confession time….

I’ve only ever watched the Harry Potter movies like once and read the first 2 books (my not girlfriend convinced me to a couple years ago) and I don’t even remember them all that much; I wasn’t even that big of a pottervese fan….then I saw a tiktok about atyd…and I read it….and now I’m here….now I’m running out of marauders fics to read because I’ve already read them all…..(mostly wolfstar fics with background Jily and dorlene; I just now started getting into jegulus)(I haven’t read crimson rivers or art heist baby! yet cuz I don’t want to hurt myself)

Jkr literally does not understand world building at all; nothing in the actual potterverse makes sense. Marauders fanfic writers tho…they get it. They connect the dots, they make characters realistic, they make the magic make sense.

All jkr contributed to this fandom was the names of the characters like….??? We did everything else.

chapter 10: Crimson Hill

丘の上からは、

夕日に輝く美しい海が見える。海風に乗って寂しげな声が聞こえてきた。

Ａｔ　Ｒａｉｎｂｏｗ　Ｈｉｌｌ��　ｔｈｅ　ｓｅａ　ｉｓｓｈｉｎｉｎｇ　ｂｅａｕｔｉｆｕｌｌｙ　ｉｎ　ｔｈｅｔｗｉｌｉｇｈｔ．　Ａ　ｓｍａｌｌ　ｖｏｉｃｅ　ｃａｎｂｅ　ｈｅａｒｄ　ｏｎ　ｔｈｅ　ｗｉｎｄ．

/The sea was visible from Crimson Hill, shining beautifully in the sunset. A lonely voice could be heard riding on the sea breeze./

[....]

[NAMI:] I know about everything.

The guy who left that scent on the statue, the guy who killed Mako-chan...

[....]

動物と意志を交わせる力を持ってすれば、我々の行動などガラス張りだろう。

だが、これほど早く、真実に行き着くとは、フォートの誰も想像し得なかったに違いない。

[ATSUKI:] If she can understand animals, then our operations don’t have much secrecy.

But I’m sure no one at FORT expected her to arrive at the truth so quickly.

----

そして彼女はいま、もう一つ重要なことを話した。

[ATSUKI:] And she mentioned one more important thing just now.

She said somebody’s scent was clinging to the stone statue.

I’d better check the Residual Thoughts.

An old Thought attached to the stone statue. It's made up of many consciousnesses, come together into one Thought.

A Thought blending together grief for Mako, hatred for the killer, and regret.

---- なぜ？どうして死んだの？

Why?

Why did she die? ---- 仲良くなったのに

[NATSUKI:] That Residual Thought was from the guy we've been after.

The smell's coming from the cops? Does that mean the target's part of the police force?

Considering what her power is, I think we can trust Nami on that.

What are the Hermits?

Hermit species list! Might expand on this in the future

I also made up species cause I have no idea what “Voidwalker” or “Blazeborn” mean

Bdubs: Human / Dreamer / Shade

Technically human but has inhuman properties and is pretty uncanny valley! Was a sun god that one time

Cub: Vex

Has illusion magic that allows him to disguise himself as human, and occasionally as other players. Was infected by Skulk for a bit

Doc: Creeper / Goat / Robot

Exactly what it says on the tin! Also grows tomato vines around his horns sometimes

Etho: Phantom / Glitch

Most obviously a Phantom, and has bony wings. He’s also a glitch in the game and will warp himself and his surroundings a little bit. The part of his face covered by his mask is skeletal. Might also be a failed clone?

False: Eagle

Gem: Not-deer

Seems like a normal deer player at first glance, but there’s something a bit uncanny about her

Scar: Human / Vex

A Vex, although he’s not a full one like Cub. He usually stores his magic in crystals

Grian: Magpie / Watcher

A pesky bird to his core. He’s also pretty eldritch and very powerful when he wants to be

Hypno: Beetle / Hypnotist

Normally keeps his wings hidden, and most of the time he looks human enough. Has strong magic and is another resident of the uncanny valley

Jevin: Slime

Impulse: Imp

Has magic, although it’s not very strong

Skizz: Angel

Can switch from humanoid to biblically accurate, and likes to use that ability to mess with his friends. Quite a bit more powerful than Impulse

Iskall: Cyborg

Joe: Poltergeist / Eldritch

Not really undead or technically a spirit, since he was never alive or had a spirit in the first place. Can basically do whatever he wants, he is Joe Hills after all

Keralis: Puppet / Eldritch / Body-snatcher

Puppet possessed by an eldritch entity. He’s capable of taking over bodies and effectively banishing the host into the nothingness, although he hasn’t done so in a long while

Mumbo: Human / Vampiric

Despite being a vampire, he doesn’t drink blood, he just gets really bad sunburns sometimes

Pearl: Moth / Lunar

Has a strong connection to the moon and the markings on her wings change with its cycle. She was also a Glare while she was the cleaning lady

Ren: Werewolf

Stress: Butterfly / Fae

Very powerful, although she doesn’t use her magic for much more than helping plants grow, although those plants usually turn out pretty weird

Tango: Fire being / Lunar

A being originating from fire itself, and was connected to Decked Out 2 for a while, which was some sort of eldritch parasite. After Season 8, he became a Lunar, although he’s not very happy about it, and most of the others don’t know about it. Has four arms sometimes, but no one knows how the extra arms get there or where they go afterwards

Beef: Minotaur

xB: Sarcastic fringehead

A type of fish! He might also have a few soul stealing properties

Xisuma: Undead / Robot

Spirit inside of a robotic suit. He’s had multiple forms, including being a bee, an axolotl, and a dragon

Zedaph: Satyr / Moth

He can summon himself some cool rosy maple moth wings

Cleo: Undead

As her name suggests, she’s specifically a zombie

Wels: Possessed knight

A possessed suit of armor covering a mannequin

There's still a haunt on the hill...

In my previous post, I dug through the ghostly chain of adaptations of Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting of Hill House" starting by its various movie incarnations. But I am not done...

Because in 2018, Mike Flanagan released on Netflix his massively successful television series, "The Haunting of Hill House".

Flanagan's television series was strongly influenced by "The Shining", another major haunting-story of the 20th century, first marking American literature under the pen of Stephen King...

... Then marking American cinema by the movie adaptation of Stanley Kubrick.

Mike Flanagan never hid his passion and love for "The Shining", both the Kubrick and King versions, and it is for this reason he was the man behind the 2019 movie "Doctor Sleep"....

... an adaptation of Stephen King's sequel-novel to The Shining.

And fascinatingly, a lot of details and ideas of Flanagan's "The Haunting of Hill House" (or its sister-series, "The Haunting of Bly Manor") were reused for his Doctor Sleep movie...

But, speaking of Stephen King, did you know he made his own "The Haunting of Hill House"? Well, almost... He and Steven Spielberg worked on a project in the 1990s: a remake of The Haunting/a new movie adaptation of "The Haunting of Hill House". Unfortunately this movie never came to the light of day, as the two men split apart due to creative differences...

However this did not stop Stephen King from reusing the unused/unfinished script/concept for his "Haunting of Hill House" adaptation, throwing in a lot of elements from his own "The Shining", with several nods to the real-life Winchester Mansion, and tadaa! The result was 2002's mini-series "Rose-Red".

Stephen King has very often praised Jackson's novel. In fact, in his eyes it is one of the two greatest ghost stories of American literature... Alongside Henry James' The Turn of the Screw.

Do you recall Henry James? Sure you do! From the previous post... He wrote the "Ghostly Rental" story, that itself got adapted in 1999 into a horror movie called "The Haunting of Hell House" - confusing Jackson's "Hill House" with Matheson's "Hell House".

Do the links stop here? NOT AT ALL! Flanagan's "The Haunting of Hill House" was supposed to be the first season of an anthology series about ghost stories. This project got cancelled, but not before a sister-series to "The Haunting of Hill House" was made... a second season called "The Haunting of Bly Manor", which is a loose adaptation of "The Turn of the Screw".

AND THERE'S MORE! Because you see, before being re-adapted by Mike Flanagan, "The Turn of the Screw"'s most famous adaptation was a 1961 movie called "The Innocents". A movie which also became a classic of black-and-white haunted house horror movies, just like "The Haunting" that was released two years afterward... Film critics, cinema theoricians and movie enjoyers all agree that the two movies have to be compared, with something of a sibling relationship to each other.

"The Turn of the Screw" - and more specifically the 1961's "The Innocents" movie - also had a huge influence on one of the greatest Spanish moviemakers of the 21st century: Guillermo del Toro. In fact, it was to pay homage to both the classic of Gothic that was "The Innocents", and the behemoth of the traditional horror that was Kubrick's The Shining, that he decided to create his own Gothic horror movie... The wonderfully horrifying "Crimson Peak", released in 2015.

And not only does Crimson Peak unites The Turn of the Screw with The Shining (Guillermo also invoked the influence of other massive horror movies, such as The Omen or The Exorcist) - but this movie also is the final union, the ultimate blooming of Jackson and James' works. Because del Toro's original intention for this movie was to pay homage to the "two grand dames" of the haunted house movies... 1961's The Innocents, and 1963's The Haunting. The two ghostly tragedies finally united in one Gothic movie...

Well... To be fair, the uniting of "The Haunting of Hill House" and of "The Turn of the Screw" had already happened long before del Toro's Crimson Peak, but with a much less famous and successful movie: 1971's Let's Scare Jessica to Death... A cult piece (despite its lukewarm reception), it was created with only one goal in mind: recreating a psychological horror story with ambiguous implications, in the style of James' The Turn of the Screw, and Robert Wise's The Haunting.
