Dentō Hayane

“Someone, somewhere in this city, is getting ready to take a plunge. Somewhere, a child is crying. Someone has come to a stop, so weighed down that they can’t go any further. I’m holding Kihachi’s hand. He is telling stories again today, stories that may or may not save someone else. And I… am thinking about writing my own story. I’ll start by writing the first letter of the first word.”
― Dentō Hayane, The Cat Proposed
