[story]
Is there anyone you would like to meet just one more time?
After 15 years of marriage, my husband died in an accident. She and her husband had been in a period of boredom for a long time, and they remained on bad terms.
Just as the surviving wife is about to start a second life, she acquires the ability to time travel.
When she returned to the past, she saw her husband just before he met her.
Looking at her husband in his youth when they met, she thinks to herself. I really liked this person.
She reunites with her husband and falls in love with him all over again.
And I think. Fifteen years later, he dies in an accident, and I have to save him.
“What is life like with the person you love?”
Deep, unanswered questions that everyone faces in life.
This story is a moving love story that questions the meaning of those things.
