A future illuminated by late-blooming love, while carrying the weight of sin

Late-blooming love and the weight of sin
Yuichi was just beginning to get used to life after retirement. The 68-year-old had a daily routine of taking a walk every morning. While walking under the row of cherry blossom trees, I suddenly stopped. There was a figure from behind that looked familiar.
“Mieko-san?”
The person who turned around was Mieko, who lived in the same apartment building. She was 65 years old and lost her husband three years ago.
“Oh, Yuichi-san. Good morning.”
The two enjoyed conversation while walking in the same direction. This became their new routine.
Over time, the relationship between the two deepened. Go see a movie, drink tea. Even though they were concerned about what others thought of them, they began to value each other’s existence.
