If that day hadn't happened, I don't think I would have thought about things like this, and I would have lived a carefree and easygoing life. The possibility that the everyday scenery could disappear in an instant has become a thorn that remains deeply embedded in my heart. The earthquake and the nuclear accident may be events of the past, but the unresolved issues still lie there, looming large. It's not something that can be simply forgotten, nor is it someone else's problem. I imagine myself in the situation, wondering what I would do. And now, I reconsider what is important to me and what I value, and I make my choices. I do so with the hope that it will connect to the future. (From the "Introduction")
