Wataru encounters friends and foes during his adventures, and he ultimately comes to terms with the nature of himself. Each stone has a different quality: charity, bravery, faith, grace, and the power of darkness and light. He tells Wataru what he must do to change his destiny: Wataru has to collect five gemstones to go to the Tower of Destiny, where the Goddess grants each Traveler one wish. When he arrives in Vision, Wataru meets an old man who calls himself the Wayfinder. Wataru struggles to remember, but he finally goes to the Daimatsu building to cross the portal to Vision. Mitsuru visits him, warns him of the gas, and tells him to go to Vision if he wants to change his fate. After this encounter, Wataru's mother attempts suicide by leaving on the gas in the house. Later, Wataru's father's lover confronts Wataru's mother over who Wataru's father really loves. Both Wataru and his mother are shocked, and to add to Wataru's stress, he finds his memories of Vision slipping away. Wataru's uncle brings Wataru home only to discover a terrible truth: the boy's parents are divorcing and his father is leaving with his mistress, leaving his wife and Wataru behind. Upon re-entering the Porta Nectere, his uncle wakens him and he finds that Vision was a dream Wataru supposedly fell from the stairs of the Daimatsu building. Unfortunately, he is also told he will forget everything of his visit. People from his world are strictly forbidden to enter Vision unless they obtain the status of Traveler from "the gatekeeper". In Vision, he is told that the portal he crossed, called the Porta Nectere, opens only once every ten years for ninety days. Wataru follows him into the building and stumbles into the strange world of Vision. One day after school, while out with his uncle, Wataru witnesses an old man entering the abandoned building. There are also rumors circulating about the Daimatsu building, an empty, unfinished building near Wataru's school: witnesses claimed to have seen a ghost wandering behind the building's blue tarps. A new student called Mitsuru Ashikawa begins attending Wataru's school, though he is in a different class. Wataru Mitani is a quiet and unassuming fifth grader in Japan.
