For a long time... I've been asking myself this…

“For a long time... I've been asking myself this question... Am I a memory? Are you... a memory? Are we just... a collection of memories? I've always been waiting... for the person who disappeared beyond those rails. Now I understand. It didn't end here. This place... was just the beginning.” quote by Yuuki Obata
