Third Edition

The reason I, Tsukihi, take charge is that she has the affinity to the creation.

What does this affinity mean? She was one of the instruments in the creation of human beings.

I say that I, Tsuki-Hi, shall take care of her, this is because of her original causation.

If you ask what this causation really means, it is related to the original instrument of human creation.
