Shima:  “—These are all the memories of Ryuzu Meyer that I saw within the tomb.” Shima bowed her head deeply, concluding what was a brief, but seemingly lengthy, tale of the past.

Shima:  She must have endured anguish for many long years over what she had spoken about: the origin of the Sanctuary and the weight of the hidden truth about Ryuzu Meyer, the girl who was her ancestor. “The memories end there.
