Summary
“Hers is a story characterised by absence. Her absence from the earth above, then her absence from the underworld. In essence, it is a story defined by longing. The union is only a part of it: the heart, then, is the separation.”

Summary
Concrete, Tobio learns, is nothing compared to the resilience of life, the tenacity of existence, the inevitability of primary ecological succession: for if only a meager amount of soil accumulates in the fractures of cement, if the wind blows the microscopic seeds of a flower or a weed in just the right direction, if a mere few raindrops soak through the asphalt and moisten the dirt within— something can grow there.
And isn't it amazing that people pick up gardening as a hobby, cherish their green thumbs, cultivate life in the loving embrace of topsoil teeming with nutrients— and sometimes end up with nothing but wilted stems? Isn't it incredible that a single dry season, a single infestation of vine borers or aphids, or a poorly timed drenching rain can destroy all that burgeoning new life— yet microorganisms can wriggle their way into the cracks and crevices of unloving places, can take the bare minimum required to sustain growth, and thrive in ecosystems not meant to accommodate something with the desire to live?
Or: Kageyama falls in love with the novelty of things.

Summary
Satoru imagines himself with Eijun like this. More private than the two on this cover, quiet in the dugout with no one around except the breath it takes for Satoru to reach out for Eijun. Eijun's hands grip the back of Satoru's uniform, black and white in between his fingers without any knowledge of what number is underneath. Satoru closes his eyes briefly and his skin warms with the idea.
in which satoru meets sawamura eijun and finds he has faces even paintings in museums cannot recreate.
