My eyesight is not good, so I always wear glasses. I feel a sense of unease if my phone is not even visible in my hand... Even in this digital age, I always carry a small notebook and a pen in my bag. Looking back, these things felt like quiet companions that were always by my side.

And there were other companions who were with me for a very long time. The child I couldn't properly see the last of while I was abroad... The child I had to leave in a far-off country due to unavoidable circumstances... Compared to the unconditional love you gave me, wasn't I far too selfish?

Now, on the nightstand beside my bed, lie my glasses, phone, old notepad, and pen. And just below them, a small, cozy home is quietly waiting for you. "I'll come to get you soon... I miss you, TTORY."
