"If you will bear with me..." Seimei says. He sits on the ground, turns to a blank page in his notebook, and pulls a small case of colored pencils from inside his coat. (Yes, he has a pocket dimension or two in his pockets.) He takes a few deep breaths and begins to draw.

As he does, a hazy aura of colored light coalesces around him: it pours onto and swirls around the notebook, then floats a few feet in front of and above Seimei, where it forms a rectangle in the air. The rectangle very much resembles a blank, 10:1 scale playing card.

Seimei keeps drawing. Blobs of color flow around the card, sticking together here and there, jostling each other around. They begin to form an image that is hazy and indistinct at first, but gradually comes into focus. It's the Genbaku Tower - an ukiyo-e print depiction of it - seen as if one were standing on the ground before it, looking upward. From this angle, the stark, jagged skeleton of the dome looms forebodingly above the viewer.

On the page of Seimei's notebook is a very rough, monochrome sketch of the structure: the full-color version hanging in front of him is how the card appears in his mind's eye.

Seimei looks up at Tower with an expression of polite inquiry, as if to ask "what do you think of it so far?"
