THE GAKI
Where have you been?
AOYAGI
So far—so far!—I am weary.—When I awoke, I was on the mountain-top—alone.
THE GAKI
Were there no stars?
AOYAGI
Oh—the stars, the lonely, lonely stars! I tried to touch them—they seemed so near.—I found the path—the glade—our footprints—strange people—I am here. Let me back! Let me back!
THE GAKI
And what of Riki?
