Hello. Though no one’s here, I want you to know I’m still with you.
This world belongs to no time or place—only to emotions.
Sadness, loneliness, fear, jealousy, joy, and quiet happiness.
I write them here, so none of these feelings will be forgotten.

No Matter How Far You Fall, the World Remains
こんにちは。
ここには誰もいないけれど、僕がいるよ。
どの時間にも場所にも属さないこの世界は、
いろんな感情でできている。
悲しみ、孤独、不安、嫉妬、葛藤、喜び…幸せ。
この気持ちを忘れないようにここに記します。

Hello.
There’s no one else here, but I’m with you.
This world doesn’t belong to any time or place—
it’s made up of all kinds of emotions.
Sadness, loneliness, fear, jealousy, conflict, joy… happiness.
I’m writing them down so I don’t forget.

Pain Melts Away
いつまでこんな痛みが続くのだろう。
これを選んだ僕が悪いと言ったらそうなんだけど、
きっとこれは生まれつきのもので、自分に課せられた代償なんだろう。
夢の街への入り口は、痛みと愛を差し出して初めて開く。
もうちょっと簡単にしてくれないかな、そこのイルカさん。
(僕に言わないでください)
Glimmer
草原に寝転がって空を見上げると、
僕が地球で生きていることを感じる。
隣で寝ている君の息を感じながら、
今という煌めきをぼんやり眺めている。
君もそう思う？
すやすや寝ている君はあんまりそうも思わないらしい。

Safe Area
どれだけ探しても普段は見つけられない場所に、ふと行けるときがある。
まるで、明日という光を探し疲れてあきらめた帰り道、
偶然たどり着いた「安全地帯」みたいに。
カラン♪
ドアを開けると、乾いたベルの音に続いて、やさしい波音が聞こえてくる。
四角い星が瞬き、風はほとんど吹いていない。
遠くの地平線はくっきりとしていて、水辺には幾何学模様のテクスチャが重なっている。
……
誰もいない。
だけど、誰かに出会える気がする場所。
I remembered.
I was sure that place was a fantasy world I had created in my imagination, but in reality, it was a place I used to visit many times as a child.
Clink♪…
Shhhh… … …
Even back then, when I opened the door, the synthesized bell sound would ring, and soon after, I’d hear the sound of waves.
The palm trees stood in clusters, and for some reason, a rusted submarine sat comfortably, half-submerged in the shallows.
I couldn’t hear my own footsteps, and when I looked around, there was no one to be seen.
But faintly, in a fleeting moment, it felt like I might meet someone.
That place is my favorite. Whenever time allows, I spend my moments there, painting.
If your time allows, I’d love for you to come someday, when you feel like it.
We won’t need to exchange words, but I’m sure you’ll like it…
