Summary
... and lastly, to you who gave me every reason to continue and even write this book, hello, i still remember what i promised, so i won't name you. but i hope you know that i've always thought of you ever since we met by that shoreline, and i will always be grateful for the grace you've shown me. after all, that year, my summer was you.

"There you go."
