Features: I often watched the person in the wheelchair and his shadow beneath it, thinking to myself, "How could he be him? How could he be sitting here with me?" I carefully observed him, looking for any unlucky traits he might have or any signs of future misfortune, wondering how he would finally die, and if there was no way out on the path to death. When was that day? I remember suddenly feeling a sense of resignation, as if I had already disappeared, no longer existing, with only a faint soul wandering in the garden. In an instant, the fresh breeze and bright moon felt like being bathed in mercy. Thus, I heard the enduring and vast silence.

Some of these memories are warm, while others are bitter, often rising from everyday occurrences to profound reflections that cleanse the heart.
