[00:00:10]Ah.

[00:00:11]We meet again.

[00:00:14]Come.

[00:00:15]Sit.

[00:00:18]How is it?

[00:00:20]The room feels bright enough, doesn't it?

[00:00:25]With a window this large, every time the shutters are opened, it's like stepping straight into sunlight.

[00:00:34]Back when I was at the academy, I loved moments like this.

[00:00:40]Just lying in the warmth, letting myself drift off.

[00:00:45]On a good day, all it took was closing my eyes, and an entire class would melt away like [music] butter.

[00:00:54]Sometimes, I'd wake to the glare of the sun, or the faint sting of heat [music] where my hair had been scorched.

[00:01:03]Even so, it always [music] felt nice.

[00:01:09]Hm.

[00:01:10]How should I describe it?

[00:01:14]Imagine this.

[00:01:16]A quiet afternoon.

[00:01:18]A gentle breeze passing through the room.

[00:01:21]The professor stands at the front, patiently working through formulas.

[00:01:26]Everyone around you is focused, listening, writing their notes, and chasing a future ahead of them.

[00:01:38]And you?

[00:01:40]You don't quite belong there.

[00:01:44]You are just passing through.

[00:01:47]So, you turn your head, and outside the window, the square is alive with people, laughter, and youth.

[00:02:00]You could watch them for hours or turn back to listen or simply lie down and fall asleep again.

[00:02:10]Does having choices despite not belonging count as freedom?

[00:02:18]I don't really know.

[00:02:20]But for me it was rare.

[00:02:23]And because of that I treasured it.

[00:02:30]Though I used to love basking in the sun like that now it makes me a little uneasy.

[00:02:39]Why?

[00:02:41]Mhm.

[00:02:43]Maybe I've just started to feel that it's a waste.

[00:02:50]After all there's only so much daylight in a day.

[00:02:55]If I spend it all asleep I'll miss people and things that won't come back.

[00:03:06]Oh, don't take that too seriously.

[00:03:10]I'm only joking.

[00:03:13]That look on your face just now it gave me a curious sense of satisfaction.

[00:03:21]Still some things are easier to understand only after you've lived through them.

[00:03:28]There are people who are pinned to something because they can't bear to be idle.

[00:03:34]They've lived long enough and remember too well.

[00:03:38]They know what regret feels like.

[00:03:42]And once [music] you've tasted that you start running just to avoid feeling it again.

[00:03:48]So perhaps it's better to forget.

[00:03:51]Keep moving forward.

[00:03:54]Don't look back.

[00:03:57]Joy doesn't visit often.

[00:03:59]>> [music] >> This isn't escape.

[00:04:03]It's refusing to repeat the same mistakes.

[00:04:09]Hm?

[00:04:10]You think those were kind words?

[00:04:14]>> [sighs] >> How disappointing.

[00:04:19]Well, no matter.

[00:04:21]At least I've said what I wanted to say.

[00:04:27]The sun's setting.

[00:04:29]And I'm getting a little tired.

[00:04:34]Goodbye.
