The Crystal Tower is more than my chosen field─it is a passion. That a structure of such magnitude could appear overnight, on the heels of the Calamity! In the five years since, its mysteries have resisted my patient courtship...

Now you understand, do you not? They must die, those nixes. I will not suffer them to keep me from penetrating the secret of the tower!
