PROLOGUE

"Why don't you just kill me?"

"I don't have a good reason to do so."

"It's your duty, you were born for my death."

"Then I regret being born."

"Then should I end your regret?"

"Can you??"

"I have a good reason to do so."

"What's stopping you then?"

Wabi-sabi

Nothing lasts
Nothing is finished
Nothing is perfect
Wabi-sabi, an art of imperfect beauty

"I don't want to regret being alive afterwards."
