[Keika Kokoro 1st Anniversary] The time when the morning person and the night person bow to each other as they pass by

Good evening, everyone🌙
I am "Yuki Tsuzuri," a lover of note❄️

Yesterday's 3-line diary

Magazine "Writing Tonight, Today's 3 Lines"

"A magazine dedicated to 3-line diaries" I have created🌿
I will be collecting the small footprints I quietly leave behind at night.
I would be happy if you could follow it✨

The morning person, the night person

Keika-san is a morning person.
I am a night person.

While Keika-san is preparing the light for the next morning,
in the middle of the deep night.

I, too, am at my night desk.
With a heart looking forward to the "Morning Letter💌"
that will arrive in a few hours, I quietly turn off the light.

When I think about that, I feel a strange sensation.
Our times are passing each other by.

Even so, we are standing in the same place
of "creating stories."

Keika-san's Kokoro Marutto Lab.
It seems it will celebrate its first anniversary on June 22nd.

The daily "Good Morning Letter💌"
has been written hundreds of times now, together with Fumimaru-kun.

There must surely be days when your energy fades.
Even so, Keika-san
writes "Good morning" again the next morning.

One year anniversary.

Behind those words,
there is surely a year's worth of mornings.

It is not about whether you have become someone special.
It is about having quietly warmed someone's day.

I believe there is meaning in that time itself.

What I like most about Keika-san's words is
"I want more people to know the power of a gentle world."
that part.

In an era where strong words and sharp words
stand out more,

continuing to say "It's okay to relax your shoulders more"
is much more difficult
than one might think.

A place where those who have tried too hard, and those who cannot try hard,
can take a breath.

Fumimaru-kun🐹 (in charge of emotions)
Misomaru-san🧠 (in charge of reason)

By gently sharing the "power to feel" and the "power to think"
within the heart, you protect that place.

There is something I learned later that deeply resonated with me.

Keika-san's nine years as an occupational therapist
means she is someone who has been by the side of those weary in mind and body.

There was a real reason for that brightness.
It's not just about being cute.
It's the kindness of someone who knows how to touch another person's heart...

Within that brightness,
there is a proper 'realization' hidden away.

I love that about her.

Here, just for a moment,
please let me leave a little bit about myself as well.

I am Yuki Tsuzuri.
While working with a different face during the day, in the gaps of the night,
I write dark fantasy war chronicles.

Places where light does not reach, someone's pain and prayers...
Compared to Keika-san's brightness,
it is perhaps a story that is the exact opposite.

Two things that are similar

One is creating stories.
Characters, words, and worlds.

Building up things that will quietly remain in someone's heart,
a little bit every day.

The other is putting dreams into words and holding them up.

Keika-san has her '1-minute morning anime' and 'picture books'.
I have, 'Someday a book, someday a film'.

To say it out loud is actually a little scary.
Even so, I think the courage to keep holding it up
is something we share.

Two things that are different

One is time.
Keika-san is a morning person, and I am a night person.

The other is the color of the light.
Keika-san is healing, realization, and laughter.
I am stillness, pain, and lingering emotion.

Even though we both create 'stories',
the places where we stand are so different.

That is precisely why, every time I see Keika-san's morning,
I feel like I can like my own night
just a little bit more.

Actually, this is not the first time.
Last Christmas.

In the article where Keika-san shared her "dream",
I quietly wrote a message of support.

Choosing a story to save someone,
rather than being provocative to go viral.

That straightforwardness made me stop in my tracks.
Back then, the dream was a "3-minute morning anime."
Now, it has become "around 1 minute."

Since then, half a year has passed.
The outline of the dream is so clear now...

Keika-san, you have truly been moving forward.
Morning and night are actually the most distant times.

Even so, within the day,
there is a moment when the two gently hold hands.

At dawn and at dusk.
Like the morning person and the night person
exchanging a nod as they pass each other by.

I love that kind of time.
Please let me also gently decorate
the entrance to your second year with my words.

Keika-san, Kokoro Marutto Lab, first anniversary.
Truly, truly, congratulations.
I look forward to working with you in the future as well.
