Lisa abets and survives the implementation of Sphinx’s plan and with the help of Shibazaki (the historian), will remember that Nine, Twelve and the other children of The Settlement lived. Perhaps Twelve is the traveler (he does ride a motorbike) and Nine is the messenger (he is raven-haired). Perhaps Lisa is the unsuspected hero(ine) in the mountain of ZNT. The iconic image can also denote “the redemption of a nation.” In the story, the hero-god asks, “Do the ravens still circle the mountain?” When the traveler answers, “Yes,” the hero-god replies, “Then it is not yet my time.” The traveler is chased away and eventually dies after revealing the king’s secret.Ĭoincidence?

The boy’s world begins to change as he experiences first love and his singular loyalty to Nine is threatened. Winter and Spring unite - Lisa meets Twelve. I’ve seen literal translations, but songs, like poetry, are rarely literal in meaning.
