The Wall That Can't Be Climbed

Relief only lasted a short while after reaching Sairou. Miaka, the Maiden of Suzaku, was confronted by Tamahome about ending their relationship. She then heard a story...A legend stated that a man and a woman who kiss at a nearby tower at sunset, will never be parted. Miaka, convinced by the story, decided to lure Tamahome to that tower. She then witnessed a situation which was shocking, to say the least.

Keisuke: Iwate Police Station. And hurry!

taxi driver: Huh? You guys cops?

taxi driver: You're so young. By the way, do you want to go east or west?

Keisuke: No, we're not cops. Which one's closer?

taxi driver: Well...the east, west, and the main headquarters are all pretty close to here.

Miaka: No, no, you got it wrong!

Miaka: I only want to get close to the tower.

Keisuke: Run for it!
