That first few paragraphs are poignant and expresses so much of what I have felt in life seeing the ones I love fade from memory after leaving this world. It was very beautifully writen. I love it.
Thats a nice one. I never thought about Mamoru much, but this piece made me think how his life might be. He has always been a ghost figure to me, I never saw him. Maybe I will take a closer look the next time :)
