“Once upon a time, there was a child. Lived in a village that no longer exists, in a house that no longer exists, on the edge of a field that no longer exists, where everything was discovered, and everything was possible. A willow could be a sword, a pebble on the dusty pitch could be a diamond, a pavilion, a castle. Once upon a time, there was a child who walked towards the field covered in lush green, to see a hero that no longer exists. The hero played a thousand games. In twilight, he played a cover drive to perfection. One by one, the Asgiriya scoreboard kept ticking. He collected the world in small handfuls, and when the sky grew dark, and dusky red, he forsook the green field as a crowned maestro.

Once upon a time, there was a child who loved a hero, and his melodic laughter was a question the child wanted to spend his whole life answering.”
