Pains on my body remind me of the reality I am in. Pains in my heart allow me to live in the past, with the people and things I’ve lost.
It’s been a month. Time moves fast and slow at the same time. The days in the jungle are fading, becoming surreal and, soon, memories.
Here, I’ve no place to cry alone.

「お姉ちゃんは、これから何がしたいの?」
アイロンをかける手を休めずに妹は言った。
「何がしたい?仕事のこと?」
「そうじゃないけど」
「夢とかってこと?」
「そんなに大きくなくてもいいけど」
アイロンを置き、妹は笑った。
もう一ヶ月。でも、まだひと月。
あの日たちが思い出になれば、今を現実として纏うしかない。
When loneliness becomes a constant companion happiness beckons.
