To You in the Distance

I want to tell everyone a story, a story in the name of time.

The letters that were never delivered bear witness to that period of time. They are the sediment of the years. In my view, the most beautiful and pure feelings should not weather away with time. Time rushes past like a blade. It will gently cut away the things we once worshiped as sacred, but only those who stay true to their original intentions can truly feel the beauty of life. The boy said that it was the girl's existence that kept him from becoming bad, but I think he himself regarded her as sacred and used that as his faith.

As the old man in "Big Fish & Begonia" said: "We will meet again, no matter what we become."

Perhaps the boy's persistence did not change anything, and instead made him miss things that, in the eyes of the world, were beautiful. But I think he got what he wanted in his heart; he protected the things he regarded as sacred, and his heart was happy.

May everyone be able to gain happiness and feel happiness in the boy's letters that follow. That would be enough, truly enough.
