Cicada's Notes

It may have been very different from her original wishes, but she never regretted such a change. At first, he just wanted to live silently in this world as a parasite--and eventually he grew old and died in an unknown place. As a ninja, if you can live such a safe life, you should worship Bodhisattva. But those people appeared like fireworks, violently shaking her silent world. They were the ones who made her a cicada - chirping with all her might in that extremely short life, in the hot summer - until she died. Although the end point is still so hopeless and dark, it gives her meaning to live. They used their laughter, sweat, blood, and lives to help her, teach her, and save her. They pulled her back to the ground from the air, brought her from nothingness into the world--and now she has a firm foothold. I live for myself. She couldn't help but move forward, no matter how frightening danger lay ahead. But she wasn't afraid. She believes that she is strong enough. She believed that she could live alone in this world without any support. Because of growth. As they taught her, young people should be motivated. There should be ideals, beliefs, pursuits, and dreams. No matter how dark and defeated the world is, we should still have these feelings. Because apart from this, we have nothing else.
