'Time'

I have heard the question "does the name make the person or does the person make the name?"

Or rather, are we influenced by the names we are given or do we, ourselves, give those names their meanings?

Perhaps, when my father named me, he was not thinking of mathematics... perhaps he merely saw my life as just a single 'moment' in time.

Perhaps he believed that my life would be fleeting... not unimportant, I like to think, but fleeting.

Like his first experiments with cardboard-house making. Washed away by the rain...

But when they went wrong he tried again, this time learning from the mistakes he'd made.

Is my life, then, just one 'moment'? Or is it a series of them?

How long is a 'moment'? An 'instant'?

How long is my 'moment'? My 'instant'?

A/N: I'm reluctant to post this because I really have no idea if people will be interested in seeing the other five chapters (varying length), but, of the four or so fics I have ready to be posted to celebrate me finishing the manga (which this fic will have spoilers for), this feels the most appropriate one to post first. Please let me know what you think, because there are five more characters to hear from!
