Life's Unraveled Threads?

(02-1-1990) "Then, at last, nobody could understand how he felt after traveling through time for so long," (Thunk, Akira Tokugawa closes the book with disappointment), "I don't think things like time travel exist. Life is too boring to believe in anything special. Well, the story is pretty nice. Kaito Matsumoto is a great writer. His writing skills make me feel like I am the main character of the story," Akira mutters to herself. "Hey Akira," calls Sakura Yamamoto. "Hmm, Sakura," says Akira. "You're here. I thought you'd be at home, but here you are at the library, huh?" says Sakura. "Alright, which book are you reading?" "Timebound Echoes," replies Akira. "I knew you'd be reading Kaito. Anyway, what's so special about his book? I don't think anything is interesting in his books." "Short-minded people won't understand it," sighs Akira. "Shut up, Ren Ito's stories and novels mostly have great themes like 'A Tale of Harmony' or 'Simple Joys: A Life in Full Bloom.' They are based on true life facts and nature, not on things that don't exist like superpowers, time travel, zombies, or ghouls," says Sakura. "I know these things don't exist, but they give you magical feelings, right?" Akira responds. "Alright, leave it. I've found a new recipe. Should we try making a cake together?" Sakura suggests. "What kind of adventure is this? I'm going to read another story by Kaito," Akira retorts. "But, please come. You've never agreed to cook with me before. Alright, this time, if you don't come, I'm not going to talk to you," Sakura insists. "Okay then, we should try this at my home," says Sakura. "Okay, let's go to your home," Akira agrees. (Both of them move to Sakura's home). After a while, during cake making; Akira says, "Finally, now our cake should be stored to bake." "Yeah! This is gonna be very delicious though," says Sakura while putting the cake in the oven. "You can sit in my sister's room today. Actually, my room is very dirty because my cousins visited last night and made a mess, and I haven't cleaned it yet," Sakura explains. "Don't back out now. You have problems daily," Akira says, removing her apron and moving the painting and runs her hand along the picture frame.
