U- But being alone is sad
U- That at least I understand
U- That at least I know
U- After a few days he was taken to a town far away
U- To stay with a woman with bright red lips and nails and a man whose eyeballs moved a lot
I never saw him again
U- Countless seasons passed
U- Sometimes I remembered him
U- That kind smile, and
U- That sad wish
U- I wonder if he is smiling now

U- …Ah, thank goodness
U- He’s still here
N- Long time no see
N- I had an errand in the area so I thought I’d stop by
N- …We parted badly and it always bothered me
N- …Back then I could only be hurt by others
N- I feel like I understand your kindness now

16
U- Ah, he surely
N- You look well, I’m glad
U- Met someone kind
U- Kind enough that he could make that face…
N- I’m Natsume, Natsume Takashi
N- Could you tell me your name?
