“It's only in secondhand books that you can savor encounters like this, connections that transcend time. And that's how I learned to love the secondhand bookstore that handled these books, our Morisaki Bookshop. I realized how precious a chance I'd been given, to be part of that little place, where you can feel the quiet flow of time.”

“In the space of a few days, it felt like winter had arrived, and my favorite season was over. But that wasn't so bad.

“Remember, love that doesn't include honesty doesn't deserve to be called love.”
