立ち止らずに、いらっしゃいませ
Don't just stand there, Come in.

僕が越してきた古いアパート　となりの部屋にへんな女の子が住んでいる
This is the old apartment complex I moved into. A strange girl lives in the room next door
彼女の名はアコニー僕と同じ歳
Her name is Acony, she's the same age as I am.

かわいく、こわく、もちろんせつないー冬目景の新世界
Cute, sad, and of course, agonizing- the new world of Kei Toumei

２
彼女は父親と二人暮らし
She lives together with her father.
父親は怪奇小説家で夜しか仕事をしないらしい
Her father writes mystery novels and only seems to work at night.


３
仕事の邪魔をしないように　彼女はよく一人で真夜中に廊下や階段でねずみと遊んでる
In order not to disturb him, she often plays alone with the rats, by the corridors and stairways in the middle of the night.

わたしは眠らないし、食べないし、歳もとらないのよ　だって、もう死んでるんだもの
"I don't sleep, I don't eat, I don't even age, I mean, I'm already dead, you know."

と　彼女は言う
She says

４

変だけど　とてもキュートな彼女
She's a strange but really cute girl.

そんな彼女と僕は友だちになった
And I became friends with this girl.

お出口はもうありません
The exits are already gone

死者なのに生きていて、かわいい。　そんなアコニーともっと深いおつきあいをご所望の紳士淑女のみなさまは、まずはお手紙を。お友だちからはじめましょう。
Even though she's dead, she's living and cute. For those of you gentlemen and ladies who wish to get acquainted with her better, begin with a letter. Let's start by being friends.

Notes;
Setsunai can be "moving" in the sense that it's "heart-rending" but it generally connotates something that's painful. Acony being her name, I thought it'd just be best to play it off and use agonizing.

It's not that "goth" is totally off, but that kaikishousetsu is mystery, kaiki by itself is bizzare/grotesque, but most entries will list kaikishousetsu as just mystery by itself. is there some genre that can fit that? maybe occult mystery?)
