In just living my life, it's as though sadness piles up all around me. It's on my sheets, dried in the sun... the toothbrush in my bathroom... in the memory of my cell-phone...

— Yesterday, I saw a dream…
— …The dream about the past.
— In that dream, we were still 13 years old…
— …And we are in a wide, snowy, empty field.
— The lights that come from the house look dimmed and so far away.
— Only our tracks are on the road that passes by us.
— With that scenery…
— …Someday we will see the cherry blossoms together.
— He and I, without a single doubt…
— …feel like that.

It must really be a lonelier journey than anyone could imagine. Cutting through absolute darkness, encountering nothing but the occasional hydrogen atom. Flying blindly into the abyss, believing therein lie the answers to the mysteries of the universe. How long can we fly?..

Because I felt that my world had completely changed after that kiss.
