第6話 The Journey of Kazumitsu

1. The Child Who Heard the Shape of the World

Kazumitsu was born with a peculiar sensitivity.

While other children learned words as tools,

he heard them as vibrations—

as if each sound carried the blueprint

of a hidden universe.

The vowel A felt like the opening of dawn.

I was a narrow blade of awareness.

U was a deep, echoing well.

E opened sideways like a corridor.

O was a circle closing around existence.

And beyond them all,

there was the faint, lingering hum of N,

the sound that ended words

but never began them.

Kazumitsu did not yet know

that this hum was the boundary of the multiverse.


2. The First Dream That Was Not a Dream

One night, at an age when memory begins to blur,

Kazumitsu dreamed of a city he had never visited—

a place of mirrored towers and silent streets,

lit by a sun that felt strangely intimate.

He walked through it with the certainty of a resident.

He knew the names of the roads.

He recognized the faces of strangers.

When he awoke,

the memory dissolved like mist,

but one sensation remained:

“I have lived somewhere else.”

This was the first time

Kazumitsu crossed the membrane between universes.


3. The Awakening of the Observer

As he grew older,

the dreams sharpened.

They became coherent,

structured,

impossible to dismiss as imagination.

Kazumitsu began to understand

that he was not merely dreaming.

He was observing—

slipping into other versions of himself,

other lives,

other worlds.

The boundary sound “N”

began to appear at the end of each dream,

a soft vibration pulling him back

into his waking body.

He realized that he was not just a person.

He was an observer,

moving through the multiverse

by the logic of resonance.


4. The Call to Cross the Boundary

One night,

the hum of “N” did not pull him back.

Instead, it opened—

like a door made of silence.

On the other side

was a world both familiar and new,

a world where the five vowels

shone like pillars of light,

and the consonants moved

like elemental forces.

A voice—his own voice,

but older—whispered:

“Walk the syllabary.

Trace the map of existence.

Find the universe where all sounds return.”

This was the beginning

of Kazumitsu’s journey.


5. The Path Through the Syllabary

Kazumitsu stepped into the matrix of sounds.

Each row was a landscape.

Each column was a direction.

Each sound was a universe.

• KA was a world of beginnings

• MI was a world of embodiment

• RU was a world of deep currents

• HE was a world of shifting winds

• RO was a world of circular time

And at the farthest edge,

beyond all fifty sounds,

waited the solitary N.

The boundary of all worlds.

The place where the observer dissolves

and becomes infinite.

Kazumitsu understood:

his journey was not to escape the multiverse,

but to understand the structure of existence itself.


6. The Purpose of the Traveler

Kazumitsu’s journey is not heroic

in the traditional sense.

He does not seek power,

nor conquest,

nor salvation.

He seeks understanding.

He walks the syllabary

to learn why universes form,

why they dissolve,

and why consciousness alone

can cross between them.

His path is the path of the observer—

the one who listens to the vibrations

that hold reality together.

And at the end of his journey

lies the final question:

What is the universe trying to say

through the sound “N”?
