"Here we are parting forever, and no one even understands how sad that is. Out of two people, there's just one apiece left."

In some sense, I could never find you in Tokyo in the first place. But you're still accumulating in every nook and cranny of my brain, and I don't know how to sweep you out, nor whether I really want to be sterilized. It infuriates me that you haven't responded yet, but maybe I should be grateful for the inattention. I could keep shielding myself if you were more solicitous. I'm exhausted, where can I set this blame down?

a modern hero, and you can
wander alone if you like. but two
requests: say goodbye before you knot
your tie, to me
