Statement
The morning light is beautiful, making the grass and trees sparkle.

An elderly man walks by, looking fresh.

When I think "Now is the time!" my tights are sliding down, and I'm bothered by the burn on the roof of my mouth.

I eat fruit lozenges.

When I'm motivated, I gobble them up.

Grape and peach diminish first, followed by lemon,

and usually, orange is left for last. Is this my life forever?

As a child, I thought washing with conditioner made my skin the smoothest.

I fondly recall the days I diligently made my skin silky smooth with it.

Being away for a few days is like stretching slime until it becomes slightly pale,
if it's about three months, the stretched part becomes thinner.

It becomes thinner and thinner until it's transparent.

Entering a room with the scent of okonomiyaki sauce, it's dark inside.
