I finally understand.

The present didn’t change for Kohtake, but she banned everyone from using her maiden name and changed her attitude towards Fusagi. She would be with Fusagi to continue being his wife, even though she had vanished from his memory. Hirai abandoned her successful bar to rejoin her family. While repairing her relationship with her parents, she was learning the traditional ways of the inn from square one.

The present doesn’t change.

The present hadn’t changed – but those two people had. Both Kohtake and Hirai returned to the present with a changed heart.

no matter what difficulties people face, they will always have the strength to overcome them. It just takes heart. And if the chair can change someone’s heart, it clearly has its purpose.

If you can’t change anything, why would anyone want to go back?

‘Let’s get married.’

But Hirai was neither Kei nor Kohtake.

I was so absorbed in the things that I couldn’t change, I forgot the most important thing.

no matter what difficulties people face, they will always have the strength to overcome them. It just takes heart.

Kohtake had never seen such a kettle before. It was a little smaller than those she had seen at other cafes. Solidly built, it looked very elegant and refined.

They are the result of something passing through the filter that is Picasso.
