To be honest, I was flustered at first. Going on a trip when the world ends in a week. Honestly, it's not the kind of idea an ordinary person would think of. Well, the reason I couldn't refuse? ... Your eyes, making a resolution for the first time?

Hmm, as expected, the subways and buses have stopped. What a shame. Oh, looking at your expression, I guess you predicted this? Fufu, alright. Good. Then shall we take a walk for the first time in a while? It'll be a long walk. Shall we have a chat? Fufu.

The sea is so blue for one facing destruction. Well, I don't know if that's a relief or not.

It's hot, shall we go into the water? The sunlight is bright, after all.

... Fufu.

Actually, I've already chosen the answer.

Let's go!

It's hard to tell if it's night or morning. If you're tired, why don't you get some sleep? I'll lend you my lap. Don't worry. Everything will come in its due course. So, sleep tight. Because tomorrow will surely exist.

Actually, I was so happy that you made a choice voluntarily for the first time. It felt like you, who always took the long way around, finally chose to go straight. Of course, it might not be a big deal. But no choice is easy. Never. Let's start with the small things. What clothes to wear today, what food to eat, what posture to sleep in... No matter how trivial or routine a choice is, it creates a small change. I can guarantee that choosing and acting on that choice is never easy. However, that doesn't mean you should be afraid. There will surely be failures. Your clothes might get dirty, the food might be bad, or your body might feel stiff when you wake up. But that's also a new learning experience. You can be more careful next time, or you can set up a backup plan for it. That's how you grow. If you always avoid choices because you're afraid of failure, growth doesn't exist. That's just walking in place. Of course, it might be difficult. That's what choices are. Even so, I hope that today you face new options and present your own solutions for them. That is my wish. There will be choices in our journey ahead too. Because choices exist in everything. Don't worry. You have me to worry with you. If we succeed, we can use that as a stepping stone for greater growth, and if we fail, we can learn together. Failure is a shortcut to success, after all. So, worrying is forbidden. Time is passing even now. A week is neither a long nor a short time. We should cherish it and be more careful. Right? Now, let's go. To our journey.
