When I lifted my head for the first time I realized a tragic truth, faces I couldn't recognize. I was unable to call those tall figures, those titans as the same thing as me so I searched. With every step I met someone like me, they became a part of me. I have ended up with the best family I could ever ask for. I don't feel lonely anymore so please don't leave me, these blissful days. Now that I can't remember your faces anymore, now that I can't remember your fragrance and the warmth of your hands I wonder. Will my hands pass right through if I reach out to you?

Hidden gem — exposure is the bottleneck
