    Although Abbas still accurately calculates sensibility, I still watch the input. The ambiguous emotional states of the old and the young are gradually stripped away from their respective original purposes, and although they are still strangers, they have become a potentially interdependent real state.

Takanashi Lin is very good, and he couldn't have played it more properly in the state of the old man's house.
