Thirty years later they sit together on the city wall. Three hundred coppers paid, three to go — he's keeping those three so she'll keep chasing him. But tonight the red moon rises deep violet.
三十年后的红月夜，两人并肩坐在城墙上。债还了三百个，还差三个——他说那三个留着，让她一直追他。可今夜升起的红月，是深紫色。
Aesgard city, the red-moon night thirty years on. Lane is fully solid now, though silver threads streak his hair; Iris's red hair has white in it too. The sword lies between them, the mirror behind. Iris asks: "Thirty years gone. How much of that debt you owe me, paid off yet?" "Three hundred down. Three to go." "What about those three?" "Saving 'em." "What for?" He grins: "So you'll keep chasing me."
艾塞加尔德城，三十年后的红月夜。雷恩已经完全实体化，头发里却多了几缕银丝；艾莉丝的红发里也有了白。剑搁在两人中间，镜面放在身后。艾莉丝问：「三十年了。你的债还了多少？」雷恩答：「三百个铜板。还差三个。」「那三个呢？」「留着。」「留着干什么？」他笑了：「留着让你一直追我。」
Iris laughs: "You are absolutely hopeless." "Then don't rescue me." "I'll think about it." She leans into his shoulder; his hand finds hers — her hand is still cold, but he holds it tight. When the next red moon comes, she says, she'll still chase him — but he's paying the medicine tab. Three hundred and three coppers. "…Thought you said three?" "Price went up. Chasing you is tiring work."
艾莉丝笑了：「你这个人，真是没救了。」「那你别救我。」「我考虑考虑。」她靠在他肩膀上，他的手握住她的手——她的手还是凉的，但他握得很紧。艾莉丝说，下次红月来的时候，她还会追他，但药钱得结清——三百零三个铜板。「你刚才不是说三个吗？」「涨价了。追你太累。」
Lane looks up at the red moon. For thirty years he has kept a promise, marking his days in debt repaid — until tonight he grips the sword hilt, voice going low: "Iris. The moon… it's the wrong color." Iris stands, amber eyes wide: "That's no red moon. It's the Abyss. It's inside the moon."
雷恩抬起头，看着红月。三十年来他守着一句约定，把欠账当成日子的刻度——直到今夜，他攥紧剑柄，声音沉下来：「艾莉丝。红月的颜色……」艾莉丝站起来，琥珀色眼睛睁大：「不是红月。是深渊。深渊在红月里。」
