I think the phrase "a clear-cut 'present'" still needs to be clarified and fixed. Scribblicious (talk) 13:27, 31 May 2014 (CDT)
- I agree. It's trying to express the idea of a well-defined, established 'present day', 'current', or 'now'. Something that, as stated, could 'illuminate her life amidst darkness'. Lygophile (talk) 14:49, 31 May 2014 (CDT)
- Can you post the chinese text? Scribblicious (talk) 17:36, 31 May 2014 (CDT)
- 看不清以后，未来总在黑暗中。
- 但，也有一件能确定的事。
- 和春等人以及他们共度的每一天，都是在黑暗中照亮了夏目脚下、明确的「现在」。
- "What would yet happen was unclear - a future shrouded in darkness.
- One thing, however, was certain.
- To Natsume, the crystal clear "present" - days shared with Harutora and the others - illuminated her way through the darkness."
- Basically, the unclear future is seen as dark. The present, i.e. the time spent with her friends, is "clear" in order to serve as a contrast to the "unclear" future. The reason it "illuminates" her way through the "darkness" of the future is because it takes the imagery of a light shining in your immediate area as you walk through the darkness; you can't see ahead, but you still won't trip or fall because you can see immediately before you.
