Stone Marker at the Entrance of the Tower of the Southern Abyss
In *The Aquatope on White Sand*, the protagonist Kukuru Misakino stops in front of a stone marker on a cliff edge. The marker bears mysterious carvings; she reaches out to touch it and whispers a prayer. Behind her, the blue sea and sky stretch out, and the wind blows through her hair. This is a key location in the series—the marker indicates the entrance to the “Tower of the Southern Abyss,” where a guardian ritual takes place.
