You really cooked with this one. I really believe that many places become characters in our life just because we spend so much time in them, and they don’t change. I’m glad the Kotoden line hasn’t changed for you!
(Also, great music.)
Thank you very much for enjoying it! To be clear, this is a work of fiction, if I had to be one person in this story, I would be the "visiting friend" as I enjoyed the Kotoden and Enoden during my trips. But this made me think that foreigners would enjoy things that I take for mundane here because they have a different point of view. I often share everyday things with foreign friends who enjoyed them. That was the starting point of this story :)
