Loneliness Quote by Makoto Shinkai
““After the sand has completely eroded, just one thing remains. I know it's loneliness. In that moment, I understand. From now on, this feeling will be all that stays with me. I'll hold nothing but loneliness, a burden someone's forced me to take. Fine , I think defiantly. Even if the world is cruel, even if all I have is loneliness, I'll still live with everything I've got. Even if this emotion is all I have, I'll keep struggling. Even if we're separated, even if we never meet again, I'll fight. As if I'd ever resign myself to this!””
