『Silence, Sailing』 . . . A silent night where no one else is awake. I am suffering from insomnia again today. Every single day, I cannot sleep because of this insomnia. Then one day, during those endless nights, it all began. A letter arrived from someone unknown. Inside, it simply asked, 'Are you okay? It seems like you can't sleep.' That was all. I didn't know who it was, but those words of concern made me feel like I was about to burst into tears. The handwriting wasn't neat; it was a bit crooked in places. Seeing that made a small chuckle escape my lips. As it turned out, she was a sailor. She told me that one day, she would take me on her boat. That day is today. My heart is pounding, and I feel a bit nervous. I see her in the distance and wave my hand instinctively. Ah, I shouldn't do this. Giving her my heart will only hurt me in the end. Why? Because she might leave after I've grown attached. Of course, she might stay, but most people eventually leave. Anyway, I boarded her boat. One hour, two hours... time passed, and a beautiful sunset began to glow. She, who had been sailing in silence, turned around to look at me and said, "The sunset is truly beautiful." The moment she smiled, I felt like my heart stopped. I shouldn't be feeling these emotions. I try to erase her smile from my mind, but the more I try, the more vivid it becomes. Please forgive even someone like me, Guest.
