Weekly Short-Short Note [A Summer of Being More Than Human]

"12 divided by 4 is 3 months, huh." "What are you talking about?" "I wonder when a summer actually starts and ends." "If you mean 3 months, maybe from June through the end of August?" "I see. I've been doing Note for exactly 3 months now. This post is my 46th article. I feel like I've been tapping away at the keyboard all summer long." "You've been posting at quite a pace, haven't you?" "Right?" "They were all interesting. I liked them." "Thank you♡ There were so many moments where an ending I hadn't even thought of 30 minutes prior would just bubble up, and I'd think the god of novels had descended upon me." "Huh~ so it was a summer of being more than human, then?" "More than human? That's not human at all." "Rather than not human, I think it means being a person with gaps." "Gaps? That's just being an idiot, then." "No, no. You're a 'human' because you exist between people, and when you're focused on something, you become a 'person'." "I see. Like Ohtani, when he steps up to the plate and gets so focused that he can't even hear the crowd cheering, he's able to perform in a way that's more than human." "Excuse me? Comparing you to Ohtani is..." "Yes, I'm sorry, that was presumptuous of me."

40-40. Congratulations!
Unprecedented 50-50. You can do it! Ohtani-san♪

#WhatAreYouTalkingAbout

Postscript 9/20
Ohtani-san! 50-50 achieved! Congratulations!
In the game where a Dodgers win would clinch a playoff spot,
he had an incredible performance: 6 hits in 6 at-bats, 3 home runs, 2 stolen bases, and 10 RBIs.
He achieved a record that is a first in MLB history (though it has been since 43-43).
A pitcher in the middle of rehab has left behind such an outrageous record that people are saying a player like this
will never appear again.
(The next Prime Minister would probably want to give him the People's Honor Award, but well...
what will Ohtani-san do?)
