[Storybook] One-eyed Physiognomist
One-eyed Physiognomist V: Calm Physiognomist
The night the physiognomist stabbed both of his eyes,
the Fox Goddess appears in his dream.
The Fox Goddess admonishes the Physiognomist for the wounds he'd inflicted on people's hearts
through his physiognomy, and, showing mercy, restores his one of his eyes.
Then she leaves him with the words, "read people's hearts through their face".
The physiognomist awoke to great enlightenment
from the final teachings of his master.
He understood his calling now. With his remaining eye, he would now
read the faces of the heart and help guide those in need.
As he departs from the capital,
he resolves to no longer spout mere criticism,
but to truly embrace and understand the hearts of people.
