始発電車
A collection of three short stories by Mayumi Yoshida. In the title story, a young woman boards the first train of the day, carrying the weight of a secret that will change her life. As the train moves through the quiet morning, she reflects on her past and the choices that led her to this moment.
In "Long Goodbye," a man and a woman share a final encounter, their emotions tangled between love and regret. The third story, "Hoshikage no Jitterbug," follows a dancer whose passion for music and movement becomes a means of escape from a mundane existence. Each tale explores themes of longing, memory, and the fleeting nature of human connections.
