“Ayami was her future self or her past self. And she was both, existing at the same time. In that other world, she was both the chicken and the old woman.

And, remembering this simultaneous existence more vividly than she remembered herself, became unable to remember anything else.”
― Bae Suah, Untold Night and Day
