So. Ken-san unwittingly exited the City. He found himself back in Tokyo without so much as a warning . . . but now, he’s returned to the City once again. It’s been several weeks, he says, after he’s left-though only a few days have elapsed here.
. . .
It is a shocking reminder of how fleeting our existence may be in this City . . . and it raises a number of questions as well.
Hm.
. . .
I should have been happy when Ken-san found his way back to whence we came.
But I’m wasn’t.
Not just because I myself would have missed him . . . as he and Kaoru-san are the only family I have left . . .
But also, most importantly, because Kaoru-san remained here.
She no longer deserves to be alone.
And neither does Ken-san.
After everything that we-they-have been through-they need each other-and they deserve to be happy with one another.
They should have been sent back to Tokyo, where they belong . . . where they would have been happiest.
But I suppose that what is most important is that they are together-whether it be here in the City or back in Tokyo, back in the Meiji era.
I am glad that he is back. For his sake, and Kaoru-san’s.
And yet . . .
He mentioned that everyone was there in Tokyo . . . including me and Kaoru-san . . .
What does that mean?
I’m afraid . . .
Is our existence in this City really so unpredictable, and so fragile? That our loved ones and we ourselves can be lost in the blink of an eye? . . .
I . . .
Ken-san, Kaoru-san . . . And . . .
Mitsuhide-san . . .
I love him so much and I . . . I want to always be with him, always be at his side . . .
