Features: Two ignorant and fearless teenagers, a reckless love affair. A lingering youth memory, a love song forever hidden in the heart. The autumn of 2002. Along the coast of Tokyo Bay, the misty rain blurred everything. A girl got off her bicycle, gazing at the deep blue sea, letting the sea breeze tousle her long hair as her thoughts wandered. She repeatedly rubbed the transparent bottle in her hand, spread out a light blue piece of paper, and wrote earnestly.
Longing is a very mysterious thing, shadowing me silently, unheard and unseen, lingering in the heart, and in an instant, it devours me in loneliness. I am powerless to resist, especially at night when I long for you so intensely that I wish I could run to you at once, shouting that I am willing for you. I am willing for you. I am willing for you to forget my name, even if it means staying in your arms for just one more second, losing the world wouldn’t matter. I am willing for you. I am willing for you. I am willing for you to be exiled to the heavens, as long as you sincerely offer love in return. I would do anything. I would do anything for you.
She carefully folded it, tucked it into the bottle, tightly sealed it, and threw it into the sea. Watching the bottle drift with the waves, becoming sand in the foam, she smiled knowingly.
