Lily the Silhouette - Bonus Story

Silhouette --- Bonus Story


A certain month in 1909, Detroit City


"I'd like to capture it if it is possible."


His room is on the top floor of what appears to be the largest of the many skyscrapers.


His name is Henry Ford.


Known also as the Car King, he is one of the leaders of not only the industrial world but also the political world of the United States, and he is the embodiment of the pride that he says symbolizes his escape from the tragedy of the loss of New York...


"I do not care."


He is the priest of a dark and sneering God unknown to others.


On the other side of the wall, which had been transformed into a sheet of tempered glass, the majesty of the Detroit Engineering Construction Tower loomed. This is the altar where all things are dedicated to the Machine God, the Moon King whom he worships. Anyone who comes to know this fact, whether an old man or a child, will die before the next day. It is only by giving everything that Ford gains. For civilization. For development.


"I want you to kill it."


A quiet declaration.


A just sentence.


Henry Ford will not forgive.


He will not permit anything to stand in the way of the God he worships.


--Shadow, shadow. You will not see the light at the ends of the earth.
