You see, loneliness is the price we have to pay for being born in this modern age...

The writing is beautiful with its tone of simplicty and somberness. Plot-wise, I quite like the first two-thirds of the story, but my enjoyment started falling off nearing the end especially during the part of Sensei's Testament.
