   Summary

   It’s not so much a story as it is a lived experience. Love and loss go hand-in-hand, and it’s that very process that makes it all feel so limited. And as unconditional love is hard to find, it’s even harder to let go of.

   When a sparrow loves a lynx, and a lynx loves a sparrow.

   ༺𖤓༻

   Eiji Okumura arrives in New York two years later than he would have liked, and learns of a boy named Ash Lynx who died far younger than anyone deserves to.
