Tower landmark
The Grand Tree stands in the flowered training field of the Tower. Shun rests beneath it in a hammock, and the place becomes the quiet centre of Yumi's six-month refuge.
Shun and Yumi
After their early clashes, Shun and Yumi spend time beneath its branches between training sessions. Yumi turns a broken branch into a flute and plays a traditional Hikari prayer for safe return and peace. Satomi recognises their growing love through these meetings. Before the queen's secret departure, Shun asks Yumi to play for him once more under the tree.
