Chapter 78

You may not see it at first glance, however, the shape formed by my hands' position, resembles the shape of a heart.

If you' have ever seen a real heart's shape, you may differ since it has quite a complicated design. Therefore, we must simplify what our eyes see.

Now, you may wonder, why have I made this pose previously?

My reasoning is as follows.

The heart is the symbol of love. When we feel love, our heart is the first to react, Father.

You have inquired about my appreciation concerning this wonderful gate.

And so, by showing you a heart with my hands, I mean to say that I love its beauty.]
