in okinawa, hoshino meets death thrice, each encounter carving away at who he was

the sea drags him under, salt filling his lungs, until a girl pulls him back. innocence is lost, left drifting in the tide. a venomous sting pierces his foot, pain seeping into his heart, hollowing him from within. at the cliff’s edge, despair calls to him, but a voice pulls him back from the brink. the darkness, however, remains

the traveler’s words echo

「人は三回死ぬって言うんだ。最初は身体が死ぬ。次は心が死ぬ。そして最後は魂が死ぬ。」

"they say a person dies three times. first, the body dies. then the heart dies. and finally, the soul dies."

after, yuichi says,

「彼はもう、僕たちが知っている彼じゃない。」

"he’s not the person we knew anymore."
