Today, I listened to the songs I used to love long ago. A flood of memories came rushing back. Happiness, sadness, even madness—these emotions didn’t come separately but as one tangled existence. The memories delivered pain, brutally at times, but I was also deeply grateful to have them.

I can still remember the first time I saw him in Japan. The memory is vague, but strangely clear—carved into my mind. It was the beginning of spring. He was reading a book, wearing a grey long sweater and carrying an olive-coloured backpack at Narita International Airport. The first
