■ "I don't want anything. I just want to live a peaceful life with you." After Jiazhen said this, Iwaizumi heard a faint sniffle beside him. He turned and saw a thin sheen of tears in Tsurumi's eyes. A crooked streak of moisture ran beneath them, interrupted halfway down, and the next tear continued the path the previous one had left unfinished.
Iwaizumi guessed she was thinking of her parents, with whom she had a poor relationship, to put it mildly. He reached out and rubbed her head. He felt Tsurumi lightly take hold of his fingers. She could have pulled away at any moment, but she didn't. It was many years before he realized this was a kind of unknowing indulgence. Much later, Tsurumi told him, "I have the same heart as her, but I don't know if I'll ever meet someone who has one too." Then she suddenly smiled. "Looks like I'm pretty lucky."
