Before Your Memory Fades (Before the Coffee Gets Cold, #3)

by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

Its name was Café Donna Donna, and a peculiar urban legend was attached to a particular seat in that café. Apparently, if you sat on that seat, it would take you back in time to whenever you wanted.

“Well, surviving alone is much the same as dying alone, don’t you think?”

What Nanako meant by borderline was that it was an age where a child was still very much a child but now able to understand what adults were talking about. At age ten, a child is a technological expert, so it is no longer possible to explain things in a half-hearted manner.

Something I strongly believe is that we mustn’t allow the death of a person to be the cause of unhappiness. The reason for that is simple: if we let everyone who dies be a cause for unhappiness, that would mean people are being born to become unhappy. But the opposite in fact is true. People are always born for the sake of happiness.
