1.I was walking through the desert, Tokyo Tower visible in the distance
2.The worn-out teddy bear you held seemed to be smiling—where should we go?3.
4.The sand burned like the sea once did, people used to live here
5.We followed in the footsteps of wisdom’s flock, who had rushed ahead and destroyed it all6.
7.Doubts and sorrows turn to fossils, imagining a future that feels like a lie
8.Feeling sadness almost seems foolish in a future so kind9.
10.The voices of us, who lived so earnestly, I hope they reach far, far away
11.May the breath taken in an empty future still remember us12.
13.It was so dazzling, I closed my eyes, tracing the path of a dried-up river
14.Just beyond, your voice was calling me—I’m sure of it15.
16.The future and past pull at each other, gripping the hands of our fragile selves
17.If pain is what it means to be alive, then I want to love it—all of it18.
19.Even now, my heart remains uneven, and some nights, it’s hard to breathe
20.Even the aesthetics that once felt like excuses will fade away in the future21.
22.Memories fallen in the sand were still breathing, reaching us from far, far away
23.May the voices of us in an empty future resound beautifully24.
25.After choosing thousands of words, and standing atop tens of thousands of gravestones
26.We will keep walking forward—I hope you won’t laugh27.
28.The voices of us, who lived so earnestly, I hope they reach far, far away
29.May the breath taken in an empty future still remember us30.
31.Memories fallen in the sand were still breathing, reaching us from far, far away

34.After choosing thousands of words, and standing atop tens of thousands of gravestones

37.I hope you won’t laugh
