1. Prologue: A Letter To My Younger Self

Dear my younger self,

I'm sorry. I'm sorry for who I have become. It isn't your fault, you didn't know that this was going to happen. I'm sorry you won't be as happy anymore. I'm sorry I broke the promise you made to yourself. Remember when you used to chase chickens in the field and you'd make daisy chains out of the flowers that grew on the farm? Don't forget how happy you were. Don't forget dad's smile ( You won't see it anymore.) Don't forget mum telling you, "You're so brave" when she puts plasters over the cuts you accumulated from your many adventures. (She won't be there to put plasters on anymore, she'll never call you brave again either.) Remember how big the horses in the stables are and how big the ocean is whenever you swim in it. Remember everything, because it'll be gone one day. I'm sorry that I didn't live up to your dreams. I'm sorry I let you down.

Misao
