What Kind of a Guardian Are You?
The narrator tells the old saying of how one becomes a goblin if the soul seeps into an item stained by a person's hand or blood.
An old, worn sword sticks out of the ground, its hilt wrapped in a bloodstained cloth. The narrator notes,
"This sword that has been stained with the blood of thousands, and its owner's blood as well—how could it not happen?"
On the hilt of the old sword is an engraving of a goblin's face. As a butterfly lands on that hilt, images flash by onscreen: A screeching car. A woman's hand. White expanse turning red. The narrator declares,
"Only the goblin's bride will pull out that sword. If the sword is pulled, may it return to nothing and be at peace."
An old grocer woman tells this story to a woman browsing her wares, who bursts out laughing at the line that the immortal goblin may roam the world even now. She finds that idea silly but still calls it a sad story, since the goblin has to find a bride in order to die.
"The gods are mean," she says while admiring a jade ring in granny's stash of goods.
The granny confirms that, saying they were always mean, and selfish and jealous to boot.
