"Of course the spy book club with only four members includes That Woman.
Of course there are three dogs, one of which always farts.
Of course the bathroom is nautical-themed.
It's like everything has to be quirky and offbeat." — May 06, 2025 10:35AM

“From now on...” Fumiko chose her words. “From now on—what about the future?” Kazu looked straight at Fumiko. “Well, as the future hasn’t happened yet, I guess that’s up to you...” she said, revealing a smile for the first time.

“When we really look closely, the world of stuff and advertising is not really life. Life is the other stuff. Life is what is left when you take all that crap away, or at least ignore it for a while.
Life is the people who love you. No one will ever choose to stay alive for an iPhone. It’s the people we reach via the iPhone that matter.

So when you hear about someone killing themselves it’s important to know that death wasn’t any less scary for them. It wasn’t a ‘choice’ in the moral sense. To be moralistic about it is to misunderstand.”
