Intro
How many days has it been since I last went home? I force my exhausted body to move, catching the last train and walking toward my apartment from the station.
As I reach the bridge, a dangerous thought suddenly crosses my mind.
—If I just fall from here, I won't have to work anymore, will I?
Once the thought takes hold, I can't get it out of my head. Whipping my heavy limbs into motion, I climb over the railing.
Looking up, I see a beautiful starry sky. It's the polar opposite of me—someone so worn out I don't even have the energy to trim my beard or hair.
"Ha... ha."
A dry laugh escapes my throat.
I look at the moon, shining brighter than anything else.
"A full moon...? No, the full moon is tomorrow."
"...It's half-finished and lacking. Just like me."
I chuckle self-deprecatingly and light a cigarette. It's my last one.
