Afterglow and the Empty Realm

After each relationship comes to an end, the protagonist drifts back and forth between memory and reality, gathering up the little moments of warmth from the past while facing the emptiness left by parting. There are no fierce conflicts. With a gentle, unhurried touch, the story traces how people meet, keep one another company, and eventually lose their way apart. Amid regret, they learn to make peace with the past and seek a sense of calm of their own in the vastness of life.
