    How much is life truly worth?

    Found out mine’s 300,000 yen. —(2,000 USD) Quite the lottery jackpot, huh? Barely enough to even last one month, let alone three… My life objectively is a joke. I thought to myself, sprawled on the couch of my apartment and staring up at the ceiling.

    Thinking back to the strange store where the transaction was made: Selling my entire lifespan, only three months remain. My age had gotten serious but my life hasn’t. I’m impoverished and no longer kept tags with anyone. My dreams aren’t going to happen anyways and life could have had value one way or the other if I kept in touch after childhood… I wish we were together.

    • Maybe that really was the most wonderful time of my life.

    What if it’s pointless. I must make it worth while somehow though I pang for what I’ve missed… I should visit places where I’ve made memories… or maybe finally visit people I felt attached to long ago

    • How can I make worth of the time I have left…?

    Guess the pointlessness gives as much reason to bother as not to. The futility is liberating in a way, so I may as well enjoy my remaining time…

    Then the door bell rung, kicking me out of my thoughts. I hesitantly went to the door and open it. At first I didn’t recognize the woman outside the door… but turns out it’s just Miyagi, the one who appraised my lifespan yesterday.
