In the face of such tenderness and respect, for some reason, it was as if I was respected, as a person. . .

With this respect for life, the protagonist gradually learns to love and accept everything around him, whether animate or inanimate. A living wife, a lost dream, a father in memory, and even the fish bait and chicken legs. . . A thing that has passed away or has become accustomed to. . .

Tears flowed down my face, at this time, I want to say, I miss you. . .
