His parents live in his hometown of Awaji Island. His mother is in a nursing home due to dementia, and his father, who was seriously ill, lives alone after being released from the hospital. Whenever he finds time, he visits his hometown, and at the same time his mother returns home from the nursing home, and the three of them spend time together. When he visits his hometown, he is reminded of the achievements his father left behind, such as his contributions to running a local bus service and the fact that he was awarded a medal.
My father, who was a classmate of my mother, insists that my mother, who was always cheerful and energetic, was popular in the drama club in high school. He says that he looks exactly like my mother in high school, and that they also have similar emotional ups and downs. When he was little, he saw his mother as cheerful, energetic, and always happy running her business, but when a major commercial facility opened nearby and the store was forced to close, her smile disappeared and she became depressed. He says that even now, when he returns to his hometown, memories of that time come back to him.
