Five hundred years ago.
Raiden Ei looked down at the young man in the courtyard and said indifferently:
"Heh, a mortal... To 'eternity', it's just a fleeting life... Well, well, I'll keep you company for a while."
Five hundred years later.
On the sickbed.
"Waaah, you bastard, hang in there! Don't die!!"
-
The small tree planted for many years, watered day and night, never to see it flourish,
Dying the night before the loved one returns from studies,
A person and a god, both full of hope yet growing apart, unable to wait for the day she emerges from the Pure Land and opens her heart.
Feeding fried tofu for many years, the little fox grows into a big fox, while I slowly age, no longer able to hold kitchen utensils.
Sacred cherry blossoms, waka poems, plum wine and snacks, sardines and salt, the shrine covered in fallen red petals, summer promises, I can't keep our date again.
Osmanthus wine tastes the same as I remember...
In the end, it's not like the youth's journey.
Human life has its limits.
"Companionship is the most enduring confession—but I'm sorry, as a mortal, I can't always say: 'I love you'."​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Sorry
