Quote by Nahoko Uehashi

“But I despise the way you use the word ‘sin’ to manipulate others.” Feelings locked deep inside her suddenly rushed from her mouth as if a dam had been broken. “You use that word to paralyze the mind, just like we use the Silent Whistle to freeze the Beasts and Toda. I can’t bear to see people bind others like that.”

Perhaps it was her mother’s pining images of sin and regret and drowning. The crystal eyes fell on her.”
