“I have been told I've got a darkish personality. A few times."
Takahashi swings his trombone case from his right shoulder to his left. Then he says, "It's not as if our lives are divided simply into light and dark. There's shadowy middle ground.

I don't think you have a particularly dark character.”
― Haruki Murakami, After Dark
