Clockwork lullaby series -Introduction-
The concept of the clockwork lullaby undoubtedly belongs to the deep lore of the “evillious chronicles” and trying to understand it is important for a better comprehension of the evillious world.
In this series, we will try to figure out what the clockwork lullaby is and what it’s for in the evillious chronicles. In the process, i will also analyze the songs that mention the clockwork lullaby in some way, along with the songs that are listed as“clockwork lullabies”

In the last part, i left you with a question: what made the twins change their mind about their initially noble purpose of disposing of the remains of the (pseudo) “original sin?

What do you think was Seth’s role in the creation of the deadly sins in the series?
What did he do? And what did the twins do?

Now, after the preliminary digression on the pseudo “original sin”, i would like to go back to the analysis of “the song that resounds with lu li la”, in particular, what happened to the (pseudo) “original sin” in the series after Eve Moonlit died and how exactly the vessels came to be.
Why is that important?
- That’s another widely misunderstood topic, like the previous one.
- It’s important to understand why exactly “the song that resounds with lu li la, lu li la” is a sequel to the song “chrono story” and how to interpret things like:
“pride is the stone” (chrono story) -> “and the stone became four mirrors” (the song that resounds with lu li la, lu li la).

What do you think it’s exactly the origin of the vessels in the series?
What are the flower, seed, stone, wind, spring, soil and forest? And how did they become demons?
Are the seven pieces of the “original sin” the demons?

Addendum: what is the “original sin” in the evillious chronicles?
First off, i want to clarify something very important: the “original sin” in the series has actually nothing to do with the Biblical original sin.
The two are actually very different (leaving the Biblical reference aside); for the fact, the term “original sin” in evillious can be very misleading (that’s why i like to call the one in the series “pseudo-original sin” or “ultimate evil”).
You may say…well wasn’t it when Eve Moonlit stole the fruits, right?
After all, the song “moonlit bear” kind of suggested that.
“I committed an unforgivable sin” - Eve Moonlit after stealing the babies.
Here’s the catch…it’s more complicated than that.
A hint of what it is really is in the series can be found in the opening of the novel “praefacio of blue”.
She indulged in the love she had with her husband.
She was overconfident that her wishes would be granted.
She shirked her responsibilities, and her children died.
She was jealous of the happiness of her neighbors.
Eventually, her feelings changed to anger,
And she tried to obtain that which she had lost.
And then–because she was hungry, she gathered two fruits. (“praefacio of blue”, opening).
From this novel segment we can notice two main things:
1) The “original sin” in evillious is not just the “gathering of the fruits” (like in the Biblical one), it’s extended to something else too, like a general background that eventually leads to the “moonlit bear episode” as its climax.
2) The pseudo original sin in evillious looks like an amalgamation of all the seven evils of the series, like an ultimate evil that tries to contain every type of evil of the series (in order “lust”, “pride”, “sloth”, “envy”, unjust “wrath”, “greed” and “gluttony”).
Now i want to tackle each and every of those aforementioned “components” of the amalgamation.

Analysis of “the song that resounds with lu li la, lu li la” (part 2.6 - connection with the song “chrono story”)
In the last part, i started the analysis of the song called “the song that resounds with lu li la”, defining the clockwork lullaby very generally as “a song that paints the time of the third-period”. After that, i speculated about the role of the moon in the series and its connection to the clockwork lullaby.
Today, i’m gonna continue with the analysis of the same song, in particular:
