Notes
She is a girl who is in the possession of a porcelain mask. She says: I am quite beautiful behind this, but you are not privy. She claims herself as a girl with ancient teeth, as long as a huntress' knife. She says: It makes things quite easier to bite in the end.
And so, you figure she is a girl who has lived years beyond the skeletons in the grave. You ask: Are you the one who digs them?
Yes, she says. But she says this with regret.

Wow this is absolutely striking and beautiful, very haunting and mysterious. Did those words come from something or did you write them? Because I would read a book about this so fast. This is purely wonderful <3

@Olivia-Elizabeth Thank you! As for the description, I wrote it. Though "the perennial sadness of a girl who is both death and the maiden" is a quote from Angela Carter in her The Bloody Chamber anthology.

@physionomiste Amazing, thank you! Have you ever considered writing a full piece about this? I would absolutely love to read it if you already have or plan to.

@Olivia-Elizabeth I write descriptions for all my mixes on the fly, so unfortunately, this is all there is. I think I would be interested in revisiting it to develop something larger, though. Thanks again. :)
