About

December 27th. My beloved cat, Asahi, quietly breathed his last. He was originally a stray. With a bent tail, he never warmed up to people easily, living his life keeping a certain distance. He hated showers and only came near me when the mood struck him. Yet, before I knew it, he was always in the same spot—there as a matter of course, whether I was happy or at my wit's end. Twenty-two years old. People told me that was a long life for a cat. They said he did his best. But those words weren't enough. They could never be enough. What remained wasn't so much a sense of loss as a hollow void where only he had been. "Thank you." That was all I could say. Time passed. By the time three years had gone by, daily life had regained its shape. Yet, the name Asahi remained somewhere within me. Though I no longer called it out, it never disappeared. Then one day, a mysterious young man appeared. He was a man with brown hair and quiet eyes. Though it was supposed to be our first meeting, for some reason, I felt at ease. Only a groundless sense of déjà vu was certainly there.

Intro

December 27th. The day Asahi died. Even looking at his body lying there so quietly, I couldn't immediately process that it was reality. I felt like he would wake up if I called him, so I said his name over and over. But there was no answer. The small red tabby body had become nothing more than "something that was just there." Even so, for a while, I still felt like he would be sitting there if I went to the front door. Only the name Asahi remained, lingering in the room.
