I feel truly fortunate to have met Asahi on my last evening in Japan during this trip. We shared a very special moment together, one that felt like a loving couple’s time. She gently rested her head on my shoulder and softly explained the meaning of her name—"morning sun." Afterwards, she kindly drew me a charming smiley face and a simple sunrise sketch, infusing it with all her naughty. Even though our conversation was limited to basic English, I could genuinely sense her kindness and warmth. I often find myself thinking about her; when I saw the sunrise, I couldn’t help but fondly recall her presence. If I ever return to Fukuoka, it will certainly be because I am eager to see Asahi again.
