I read it once after removing the cover and putting on the bookstore's paper cover. There are no particular scratches or damage. #Ruby-Ruby13 Library "Insights Gained in My Twenties" KADOKAWA, 2020 - 288 pages A person's life, I don't think, is determined by the words they encounter, the amount of money they have, or by love or marriage. A line a friend told me on the phone one night, or a line a lover casually spat out, a one-night story the man next to me at the bar told me, the scenery of a city devoid of salvation, or a wordless realization that pierced my whole body like rain on a night road. I think life is determined by such things. I decided to call those fragments "Insights Gained in My Twenties."
