Dot | 2 comments As far as I can recall, the man and the girl tacitly decide they will kill themselves.

Probably read in the past 10-15 years.

I've checked some synopses of Murakami short stories and haven't found it, but I suspect it might be his. I could be wrong, though!

Name of the short story and the name of the collection would be welcomed, but obviously if I have only one, I can then find the other.

Thanks!

Dot | 2 comments Thank you! I'll look at both of them - even if they aren't the ones, they sound interesting.
