Author Flap:
Having aged 37 years, I look at young people and for all of them I can see where things overlap with them and my past self.
There are times when you alone are left behind from the world and are too afraid to move.

But it's nothing to be worried about, there are no absolutely unique people, because everyone is similar...

Mori: Why am I
over there?
[He's A GHOST! WOooOOoOOoO.]

Mori: I'm light...
It's not cold,
and I don't feel hungry, either.....
I see, I
died, didn't I...?

Mori: I didn't know
dying was this easy...
Now I don't need to carry a 30 kilogram rucksack on my back, trudging a path through the snow in the middle of a blizzard.
Or continue walking all night for several days without eating much...
Niimi: I want to go in...
