Love at first sight lasts forever. I was originally very curious about how to continue falling in love due to the time difference, but in the end I was a little disappointed. Although regret is normal
For those who watch the sea, this short story is a high-quality romantic story. If the background of the story was just set in the ordinary real world, there would be nothing special about it, but in a science fiction novel, this setting of two villages where time passes at different speeds looks very interesting. I think the two chapters, The Dictator's Order and The Cache, are the most readable. The other four chapters, The Convex Mirror in the Hourglass, Hell and Earth, The Whirlpool Calendar of Mother and Son, and The Door, are a bit difficult to read. There is an explanation of the "hard" part in a book review, but it is still not easy to understand.
So pretty!
