“I want to write stories that are different from the ones I've written so far, Junpei thought: I want to write about people who dream and wait for the night to end, who long for the light so they can hold the ones they love. But right now I have to stay here and keep watch over this woman and this girl.

― Haruki Murakami, After the Quake

― Banana Yoshimoto, Kitchen
