   Summary

   Narumi learned that he should not look forward to anything in life. For anything ─ or perhaps everything ─ in life is ephemeral. Life itself can go in a fleeting glance. 

   But despite this fact, it should be enjoyed. Even the little things that make this life of ours; the challenges, the wisdom, and the people.

   But Narumi also learned another thing; he finds joy in these fleeting moments. The taste of cigarettes ─ which he claims he hates the most ─ from Hoshina's mouth, and the taste of strawberries from his own mouth, invading every space in his mouth and burning his throat. He should not enjoy it, yet he wants to stay a little more.
