" Ten days have passed since I stopped looking up while walking, ten days since the Sun disappeared. The Moon and the clouds
look the same. What happens as we grow up?
I'm shaped by these tall buildings, whose windows light up and go out intermittently. A varied monotony.
Tokyo was always my childhood, in a quiet neighborhood where birdsong mingled with the hum of the television, my grandmother's laughter and her stories about Lake Motosu. One of the five that adorn Mount Fuji.
She spoke of gods quenching their thirst there, while I, thirsty for life, listened attentively.
I want to get off the beaten track, away from the hustle and bustle of the subway and the glare of neon billboards. I need to venture where I've never
been before. "
