It may be true that where there is a beginning, there is an end, but it is too shortsighted to think that because there is an end, there must have been a beginning. In fact, the opposite is true.

The Thirteenth Staircase. It was Kino-Raichi, Noise, Emoto Sonoki, Mio-tsukushi Takami, and Mio-tsukushi Misora. However, what awaits me at the top of the stairs is so ridiculous and so nostalgic… in this sixth installment of the "Zaregoto" series!
