1.“Hey, hello, can you hear me?
2.Did you maybe… fall asleep? Haha”3.
4.No, no, it’s okay.
5.It seems like the signal is just a bit weak.6.
7.“I see.”
8.“So, what were you about to say earlier?”9.
10.Well…
11.I might not be able to say it well.12.
13.“Okay.”14.
15.But
16.Please listen.17.
18.Doesn’t everyday routine feel kind of unusual?
19.Morning coffee, the blinking traffic lights, when you’re fiddling with your smartphone.
20.There are small signs and messages hidden everywhere,
21.And they’re affecting us.22.
23.Imagine this.
24.The kitchen clock is getting 17 minutes faster every day,
25.Gradually skewing your sense of time.
26.Then one day, when you look in the mirror,
27.You feel like you aren’t yourself anymore.
28.Or something like that.29.
30.“Hmm, what’s up?
31.Did you see a god or something?”32.
33.No, not at all…
34.It’s not like that.35.
36.“Really?”37.
38.How should I put it?
39.Maybe I’ll change the way I say it a bit.40.
41.“That would help.”42.
43.Yeah…44.
45.Imagine this.46.
47.“Did you know the moon is actually made of transparent wool?”
48.Have you ever received a radio signal calling your name in the middle of the night?
49.Have you ever felt like the lyrics you overheard were predicting the future?
50.Have you ever dreamed of stars growing from the ground?
51.(What color were they?)52.
53.One day, suddenly your shadow increased to two or three,
54.But whose shadow do you think one of them was?
55.What comes next after bugs, decay, and student numbers?
56.Do you know a heart covered in aluminum foil?57.
58.“Hey, can you hear me?
59.The noise is intense, like a sandstorm.”
60.“Where are you… right now?”61.
62.Yeah… I’m nowhere.63.
64.“What does that mean?”
65.“So…
66.How much of what you said earlier
67.Is serious?”68.
69.Well…
70.Uh…
71.I can’t say it well,
72.And this isn’t really the right time,
73.But listen,74.
75.Too bright to be called a person,
76.Too tainted to be called an angel.
77.What am I?78.
79.“Uh… an angel-person?”80.
81.No,
82.The answer is, you.83.
84.“We got the meeting time wrong, didn’t we?”
85.“We showed each other our favorite nails.”86.
87.“When you saw me struggling, you kindly smiled.”
88.“You always wanted a sip of the juice I ordered.”89.
90.“You hugged me when I was sad.”
91.“You touch your chin only when you lie.”92.
93.“We talked on the phone until dawn.”
94.“We were surprised when it was already bright outside.”95.
96.“When we pierced each other’s ears for the first time,”
97.“We both let out a loud scream.”98.
99.“We secretly shared our secrets.”
100.“Those things… and those other things…”101.
102.“When we got fed up with the world,”
103.“We jumped towards the universe.”104.
105.“The white color in the puzzle we made together,”
106.“It never seemed to fill in, like it was eternal.”107.
108.“Saying we wouldn’t listen to trendy songs,”
109.“We were both so foolish.”110.
111.“We secretly ran away together,”
112.“We fell from the poolside.”
113.“That night, the sky…”
114.“Was beautiful, wasn’t it?”115.
116.After one night when all the stars disappeared, what does the light floating in the sky mean?
117.Have you ever been part of an organization studying alien cultures?
118.What lies inside the fifth-dimensional entrance hidden in books?
119.Do you doubt the existence of a village that only communicates telepathically?
120.Have you ever received a voicemail from your past self?121.
122.I want you…
