The particular memory from more than six years ago resurfaced in Leslie's mind. The initially blurry pieces of the remembrance slowly regained their clarity as they merged into one.
"Axel once mentioned something... about the yarn balls he bought when he visited a temple[01]."
Leslie's voice sounded distant as if she wasn't talking to Mimo. The memory brought her back to the time she was happy with her first lover, Axel.
Despite living in a small and old apartment, Leslie was already content with the everyday bliss enveloping her life. Axel often proved himself how much of a great partner he was.
On an autumn night, Leslie had just finished her part-time job at the nearby convenience store. Axel came to pick her up because her shift ended right before midnight.
The happy young man immediately exclaimed, telling her what he had done that day.
"Sweetheart! Do you know? Hehe, I found a craft store at the temple ah."
