Recently, the days have become very short. I wake up at noon, and by the time I finish my chores, it's already close to sunset. As the weather gets colder, people need more energy to combat the chaos. Every time the season approaches the end of the year, I always feel like moving to a small house or even just staying in a hotel would be nice. Speaking of which, autumn is such an awkward season. When the snow season arrives, I prefer to go out in the evenings. In my home in Nagano, everything is surrounded by pure, clean white. The nights at the ski resort are quiet, with only the gentle sound of the cable car's electric current. I still remember people silently holding their children while skiing, enjoying the tranquility that belongs only to the countryside.
