\"Against the bite of fresh, trenchant Memory.\"

Not every time someone looked in the mirror, but often, they saw in the background, behind the normal reflections, a man with his back to the mirror. It was fearsome, strange. Because no one was standing there, and nothing else in the room could reflect such an image. The worst was that sometimes it was there, sometimes not. And it always happened that only one person at a time could see him. How then could they be sure of anything?

\"Every night, Mutsuki stepped out to gaze at the stars before he went to bed.\" \"I went out onto the veranda too-not to look at the stars, but to look at Mutsuki. I loved watching his face as he gazed at the starlit sky. He had a beautiful face, with short straight eyelashes.\"

\"I could see the light of the room reflected in the freshly polished windows. There we all were: the purple man and Kon's tree; the gay husband and the alcoholic wife; all of us, glimmering faintly together in the windowpanes.\"



\"At the end, at the end of the surging sunset, in the insecure maturing burning without a grieving scheme, the solemn episode of the leaves- rustling and that's all. Rustling.\"
