While traveling the wilderness, Mizuho asks Yamabiko how he became a dog. Yamabiko then relates how, 5000 years ago, he wandered different worlds all alone, until meeting a girl to whom he gradually opened his heart. But their happiness was short-lived.
At some point along the way, I had
become locked up inside my own shell.
.في مرحلة ما، كنت منطويًا داخل قوقعتي
Irgendwann hatte ich mich völlig in
mein eigenes Schneckenhaus zurückgezogen.
En cierto punto, me encerré
dentro de mi propio caparazón.
Sans que je m’en aperçoive,
je m’étais enfermé dans une carapace.
Em algum ponto, eu me tranquei
dentro da minha própria concha.
