Until summer ends
“Becoming happy was frightening.”
—Wheat ear died one year ago, on a rainy day out of season.
On the table lies a book I’ve started reading.
In the garden, the flowers we planted together still remain.
I still live in the house where I’m now all alone.
Wheat ear’s family home is just across the yard from mine.
Wheat ear’s younger sister sometimes comes back, too.
When Wheat ear was still alive, the three of us used to talk.
Now, the two of us end up talking more often.
We talk when we meet in the garden.
We talk over meals.
And whenever we sort through her belongings, we talk again.
Because she was my wife’s younger sister.
That was all.
…or so it should have been.
“Seiichi, please be happy.”
Wheat ear always wished happiness for everyone around her.
Those were words that had saved her countless times.
But those hopeful words turned into a curse.

Seiichi
What should I do with this?
What Seiichi is holding is a book about Wheat ear that he’s only partially read.
I feel like throwing it away isn’t quite right…
Saying this, he smiles awkwardly.

What would you do?
