“Even though the future seems far away, it is actually beginning right now.”
“When you were still here, Isobe thought, death seemed so far removed from me. It was as though you stood with both arms outstretched, keeping death from me. But now that you're gone, suddenly it seems right here in front of me.”
“And still everything’s the same, even though I did my best to get as far away as I could.”
“Your own positive future begins in this moment. All you have is right now. Every goal is possible from here.”
“Let us pray now for the future dead. Though we do not yet know their names, we know that there shall be far too many of them.”
“Speak up, destiny, speak up! Destiny always seems decades away, but suddenly it's not decades away; it's right now. But maybe destiny is always right now, right here, right this very instant, maybe.”
