Chapter 55 Section IX

Last week, Mirai sent a signed letter to Chiori and me. It started with a brief greeting, then wrote that she will be a full-time employee of the nursing center from September, and that she is engaged to Ogihara and will hold a wedding next year. I hope we can play the piano at her wedding banquet, and finally added One sentence - sorry, may not be able to pay much thank you. I returned a postcard to her yesterday, telling her that we would be happy to play at the wedding banquet, and that Chiori and I were going on a long trip for the time being and would not be in Japan in a short time.I think, the future has probably already expected this. I wonder what expression she will have when she receives the postcard?Thinking of this incident, unbelievably, the mood became very happy unconsciously.

In addition, the end of the future letter is written like this. I think we really had a good time with Mariko-san in Chiori's body that day.But as the days went by, I couldn't believe it was true.No, I believe it to be true, just disturbed by the absence of a rational explanation.But it definitely did happen, right? I didn't mention this to Dr. Kurano because I felt helpless to say it and not be believed.Like me, you should also want a reasonable explanation, right? However, I suddenly started to think this way recently - whether this matter is true or not, in fact, only we can judge for ourselves.We are born in this world, we gradually grow and thrive, and then we understand our relationship with the people around us.From this point of view, I can't help but wonder, what do school textbooks teach us?Even thinking about abstract things like social common sense, if we want to know whether they are facts, whether they are correct or not, it is actually up to our own brains to make judgments.Therefore, I think thinking and judging this kind of thing is actually a very personal domain.

I don't know if I have fully expressed what I want to say, but when I look back at the words I wrote just now, I feel like I have said something very self-righteous. Of course, there are rigorous principles in the way of thinking, but there are also things that no one can assert, even if you don't deny it, it doesn't matter!As long as I don't cause trouble to those around me, it doesn't matter what I think. I should be right when I say that! So, as I said, I no longer intend to investigate whether this matter is true or not, and I do not seek a reasonable explanation, but I sincerely believe that this must be a miracle given to Sister Zhenzi by some unknown force.

There's only one thing—I find it incredible how much Chiori understands this matter.If she recalls anything and is willing to talk about it, please do ask her. Finally, please take care of your body.Hope to see you all soon.
