Song of Time
They meet in the summer of 2003, at a company event. In Takanori's eyes, Hitoshi is the kindest person in the world, and the easiest to befriend. Quickly, they grow very close, and for nearly ten years, Hitoshi is at his side, before tragically passing away on July 18, 2011.
Note: No one but Isshi's family and close friends knows exactly how he died. I can only make a guess that it was a tragic accident. This is not, however, a story of how he died. This is the story of how I imagine he lived. This is my testament to him.
Listening to this song while reading is not necessary, but I recommend it, so that the reader may gain the full effect of the mood I am trying to set. (Romanization and translation of the lyrics can be found here.)
