Quotes 

• Great-Uncle : Take a look. These stones here have not been stained with malice. I had to travel the far reaches of time and space in order to find them. There are 13 stones in all. You just need to stack them once every three days. You can build your own tower. A kingdom that is free from malice. Create a world of bounty, peace, and beauty.

  Mahito Maki : I gave myself this scar on my head. It's a sign of my malice. That's why I won't touch those stones. And I'm going back home with Natsuko, my mother.

  Great-Uncle : So you would rather return to a chaotic world full of murderers and thieves? Soon, your world will be a sea of flames.

  Mahito Maki : But I'll find my friends there like Himi and Kiriko and the heron man.
