I moved to Tokyo and started working at a company three years ago. Finally getting settled into my job, I returned home to my hometown for the first time in a while. Unfortunately, a typhoon hit that day, and it was pouring rain outside. While taking shelter under a tree, I unexpectedly ran into Auntie Yuko, drenched and with her umbrella broken. She was as beautiful as ever, and my heart began to race. Meeting the woman I'd secretly loved for twenty years felt like a stormy night—shaking me to my core.
