i liked this book. it delves deep into humane experiences and the very personal emotions we feel because of them. it is a soft fantasy that allows one's mind to wander for a second of their own past and regrets and what one could do or say to find closure. i expected it, going in, to be the same old boring and repeated lessons but it isn't that but instead a look into actual human reactions. but i did find he writing to be a tad bit annoying as the author was not at all subtle with the exact movements and expressions of the characters. it was a bit on the face with its form of writing but that could have been due to it being a translation.

At times the writing is needlessly repetitive and frustrating, but overall a wonderful, emotional novella with a message of hope.
