  我雖然這樣，其實也很難過喔......但是，難過未必要全身都表現出來吧?

  可是，人的一颗心，是能够跨越现实中的任何苦难的。所以，即使是现实得不到任何改变，只要人的心改变了，这个椅子肯定就有着重大的意义......

  咖啡传入日本是在江户时代，也就是德川纲吉时代。只是当时咖啡并不合日本人的口味。大部分人并不是因为喜欢才去喝咖啡的。也的确不难理解，不就是一杯黑乎乎的苦水嘛。

  不过，那天不巧，当他们来到约会厂区的那家咖啡店时，只见门上贴着临时休业的通知。那家店因为每一张桌子都被隔成了单间，所以用来谈论“重要的事情”再合适不过。因此，当看到休业通知，无论是二美子还是多五郎都特别沮丧，没办法，只好再去别处找比较合适的地方。他们找来找去，就在这个人烟稀少的偏僻小巷子里发现了一块招牌，因为这个咖啡的在地下，所以完全无法窥视到店里究竟是什么样子。这家店的名字是他们小时候常常哼唱的一首歌的歌词，这引发了两人的兴趣，他们决定先进去看看再说。一进去二美子就后悔了，里面狭窄的超乎想象。店里虽然有吧台坐席和方桌坐席，但吧台坐席只有三个座位，可供两个人坐的方桌座位也只有三张。也就是说，店里最多只能坐得下九位客人。二美子期待着的“重要的事情”，如果不用很小的声音说，大概全咖啡店的人都能听得到。而且，被遮光吊灯的光线晕染成深褐色的店内氛围，并不是二美子喜欢的样子。这简直就像个秘密交易场所。

  But Kazu still goes on believing that, no matter what difficulties people face, they will always have the strength to overcome them. It just takes heart. And if the chair can change someone’s heart, it clearly has its purpose.

  The present didn’t change for Kohtake, but she banned everyone from using her maiden name and changed her attitude towards Fusagi. She would be with Fusagi to continue being his wife, even though she had vanished from his memory. Hirai abandoned her successful bar to rejoin her family. While repairing her relationship with her parents, she was learning the traditional ways of the inn from square one.The present doesn’t change.Nothing about Fusagi changed, but Kohtake came to enjoy her conversations with him. Hirai had still lost her sister, but the photo she sent to the cafe showed her looking happy with her parents.The present hadn’t changed - but those two people had. Both Kohtake and Hirai returned to the present with a changed heart.

  People don’t see things and hear things as objectively as they might think. The visual and auditory information that enters the mind is distorted by experiences, thoughts, circumstances, wild fancies, prejudices, preferences, knowledge, awareness, and countless other workings of the mind.

  Kumi didn’t resent her. Nor was it true that she didn’t want to inherit the inn. The reason that Kumi didn’t give up trying to persuade Hirai to return was because that was her dream. It wasn’t because she wanted her own freedom, and it wasn’t because she was blaming her: it was her dream to run the inn together with Hirai. That dream had not changed, and nor had her little sister, who was there in front of her with tears of joy streaming down her face.

  Kumi was choosing her words carefully. Looking down, she was rehearsing in her head what she wanted to say. Of course the request in itself was simple - Please come home. But articulating this was a struggle.

  Water flows from high places to low places. That is the nature of gravity. Emotions also seem to act according to gravity. When in the presence of someone with whom you have a bond, and to whom you have entrusted your feelings, it is hard to lie and get away with it. The truth just wants to come flowing out. This is especially the case when you are trying to hide your sadness or vulnerability. It is much easier to conceal sadness from a stranger, or from someone you don’t trust. Hirai saw Kei as a confidante with whom she could share anything. The emotional gravity was strong. Kei was able to accept anything - forgive anything - that Hirai let flow out. A single kind word from Kei could cut the cords of tension that ran through her.

  After being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, he had struggled each day with the dread and anxiety of losing his memory. Yet she, his wife, had not seen how he had borne these thoughts and feelings alone. On learning that she had come from the future, the first thing he had wanted to know was whether he had forgotten her, his wife. This realization filled her with both joy and sorrow.

  Kohtake always arranged to take her holidays at the same time as him so that they could go together. He would complain and say he was going for work, but that didn’t bother her. While on a trip, his brow seemed permanently furrowed, but she knew that this was how he looked whenever he was doing something he liked.

  Fusagi’s replies, on the other hand, were always short. There were even times when he would send one-line replies like, ‘Thanks for the interesting letter,’ or, ‘I know just what you mean.’ At first, Kohtake thought he must be busy with work and didn’t have the time to reply, but in letter after letter Fusagi continued to give these brief replies. She took this to mean that he wasn’t very interested in her.

  ‘Hey guys, I’m a nurse. Look, even if my identity is totally erased from his memory, I’ll be part of his life as a nurse. I’ll still be there for him.’Kohtake had put on her most confident voice to reassure Kei and Kazu. She meant what she said. She was putting on a brave face, but her bravery was real. I can still be there for him because I’m a nurse.

  ‘Iced coffee for me too, please,’ Kohtake said, sitting opposite him. Fusagi must have been uncomfortable with this seating arrangement, as he moved and sat at the counter. This didn’t upset Kohtake: she was used to such behaviour from him. She was just thinking how wonderful it was to find such a relaxing cafe so close to the hospital where she worked.

  In that moment, Fusagi remembered that he had a wife, but he didn’t remember that Kohtake, standing before him, was his wife.

  When she asked if he loved her, he would nod, but he never said the words I love you. When they walked down the street together, Goro would look down sometimes, almost apologetically, and stroke his right eyebrow. Goro had also noticed that men walking down the street were always gawking at her.

  While every other member of the team, including Fumiko, had decided it was too difficult and simply given up, Goro had succeeded in solving the problem. It was nothing less than a miracle. By taking leave without permission and not contacting anyone about it, he had violated basic rules that applied to any company employee. Yet he had demonstrated a commitment to his work that was greater than anyone else’s, and he had succeeded as a programmer where no one else could.

  Of course, there was nothing concrete to suggest that it had been his mistake. It was simply that if the project was going to be liable for a big loss, it was convenient for it to be someone’s fault. As he was the one who was missing, he became the scapegoat, and naturally Fumiko was among those who suspected him.

  You can’t really go back to the past. This cafe can’t really take you back to the past. It is all just a ploy to get people to come. Take the countless number of annoying rules, for example. These are just the first hurdle to encourage customers wanting to return to the past to give up. If the customer passes that first hurdle, then this must be the second hurdle for those customers who still want to go back in time.
