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.

“Mr. Mieko?”

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.
