You'll also notice that the numerals mirror image each in the columns and complete numerical sequences.
This made me think of a trick for multiplying with 9. Put your hands in front of you, all fingers stretched. If you want to know what e.g. 3x9 is, you just fold your third finger from the left (the left hand middle finger). Two fingers remain on the left side of the folded finger, seven on the right, so 3x9=27. Pretty neat

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
