I did not understand a lot of this book. Maybe it was trying to have a deep compelling message, but to me it just felt like a lot of melodramatic teenage anxt. In my opinion the main protagonist is so insufferable with their lack of conviction and paper thin personality. It was just annoying reading an overly timid person try to get back to their body and in the process I guess "heal" some other dude with trauma. I don't think the execution was done well if I'm being honest. None of the characters are really likeable or compelling in my opinon but it is what it is. Also with Regin Chronicle's books in general I find their translation kind of weird if I'm being honest, but regardless my point is I probably would never read this again. The only pro in my opinion going for this story is that it's pretty short. That's about it.

এই পৃথিবীতে হয়তো সবারই কেউ একটা রয়েছে যার আসাটা এতোটাই নিশ্চিত যে, মৃত্যু সেখানে পরিহাস মাত্র।

যে সব কেউ কখনও শুনতে চায়নি, কাউকে বলা হয়নি হয়তো তার কাছে বলা যাবে হয়তো সে শুনতে চাইবে।

সে আসবে।
