Chapter 3 Her and His Chair
Like the intertwining sounds of black and white keys on a piano, the innocence of correctness and the errors overlapped, eventually resonating together in an unexpectedly vibrant harmony.
──That was how the summer felt to me.
Lost in the piano’s melodies, I suddenly noticed the flickering of the evening sun. Gently, I closed the lid.
The usually indifferent musical notes on the staff seemed to come alive, resembling colorful balls at summer festival and slipping through my fingertips no matter how firmly I held or restrained them. Time slipped away as I chased after those balls.
How long have I been captivated by the festival music? I couldn’t help but smile wryly.
The sunset sky signaled the end of the season and the beginning of dinnertime preparations.
The piano’s roof, enveloped in a warm tangerine hue, blurred with distant memories of days long gone.
I loved moments like these.
As I quietly opened the door, would my younger self be there, secretly listening in while holding her breath?
When that woman stopped playing with a mischievous look on her face, she would always indulge my request and play the familiar tune of “How Wonderful Humans Are1.”
Hey, Mom, me too.
I had found people precious to me.
I had more places I wanted to return to.
The piano’s melody had grown gentler.
I had become better at cooking.
I had decided to be a little selfish.
If the day came when we could meet again,
──That was the kind of summer I wanted to convey to you.
