Most of it is like images or short moments. Like I remember walking Shibuya Crossing and looking up at the sky to see a bird fly. Or I remember how much I loved stories about witches. [ Like Kiki ]

Are you curious about who you used to be?
no subject
There is a pause at that before she shakes her head ]
No. I think if I found out about who I was, I would be further away from me.
