Makihara once had a partner, and a boss.  Together they researched the Ziggurat, and the mystery of Babel's revelations. But when a pair of Hand Shaker children were born, their lives changed. The children were constantly targeted, and if they were defeated, they would die.  Makihara and his partner tried their best to defend the children, but years of fighting wore them down, and they had a falling out.  Now his partner is back, and he has a demand: put Koyori back to sleep forever, and separate her from Tazuna.
I didn't think we'd be pulled into 
the Ziggurat during the birth.
لم أتوقّع أن ننجذب نحو زيغورات أثناء الولادة
Hätte nicht gedacht, dass wir während
der Geburt ins Ziggurat gezogen werden.
Jamás pensé que estaríamos
en Ziggurat cuando diera a luz.

Dire qu’elle a accouché
dans la ziggourat…
Chi si aspettava che al momento del parto
saremmo stati attirati in Ziggurat?
Não achei que seríamos levados 
ao Ziggurat durante o nascimento.
