☹

You will never understand what I had.

you’ve been like this for quite a while

I don’t remember

I can’t remember

to live in a love that was promised to be returned,

and to wait,

and wait,

“It's difficult to explain, but when I'm drawing I feel the existence of what I call ‘gravity’.

In other words, while you might think that as an author I have utter control over the actions of the main characters by the progression of the story, or the world in which I make them live, it's not always like this, and at some moments it is the characters who act against my will. Through this method, some drawings have come out that I didn't want to make in the first place. That is how ‘gravity’ manifests itself, which I also assimilate to ‘fate’.

When you read this last volume of Stone Ocean, I'd like you to think a little about this.”
