Forest House: 

'From now on we'll meet with a bang!

We're all going to die."

A senior colleague three years older than him said.

Today, there is a shop run by another senior staff member,

The company has now decided to relocate,

Day trip to Tokyo for a farewell party at the current shop.

The average age of those gathered was

He is now well over 60 years old.

How many more years?

In good health and with strong legs and feet,

I could eat anything,

The ability to go anywhere without having to worry about anyone...

Even if you think you are still young at heart,

It is ageing steadily in its own right.

Oh, even if you think yada yada yada,

It can't be helped that it's true.

Ten years is a very short time.

Ten years later, when I was in my 40s and

Ten years later in the 60s,

The difference...

You could go and see the people you want to see,

You could do everything you want to do from one end to the other,

It could be a really important time.

Which reminds me,

I used to get sucked in.

At the palm reader,

'You'll be popular until you're 75.'

I was told,

When you turn 76, do you suddenly become unattractive?

Or is my life expectancy limited to 75?

Well, it doesn't really matter.

A lot of dragonflies flew over.

Autumn.
