Third Edition
Hitherto, if you were screened by a wall, you would know nothing of what others say.
From today there shall be no time even to look aside. There is no knowing what I will work as rapidly as in a dream.
Inoue/Eynon
Hitherto, when you were separated from each other by only a wall, whatever was spoken you could not understand.
Henceforth, I shall work swiftly like a dream. So swift, you will not be able to even blink an eye.

17:19, 20 Since human minds are shallow, even there is a single wall that stands between, you will not understand nothing in the slightest no matter what I may speak. Yet after today, I, Oyagami, who sees and knows all, I shall show wondrous workings that will make you question if you are dreaming. Be on your guard without the slightest moment of inattention.
