I gathered his father died somewhere in the preceding year of the pre-leap period given how the matter was discussed, but now I wonder if he died a little before that, hence the 13 years? Or maybe Shiva initially kept it on his fathers saying for some reason, maybe he brought it from a special place or something knowing Shiva likes them and then never took them out much after he died.
Also, why am I overanalysing friggin marbles when there's so much else to fawn over?
