“If you truly look you’d find out that love is rarely, or perhaps, not at all, floating around you – what’s really floating is the element of either subconscious or conscious anticipation of instant gratification masquerading quite gloriously as love. And that’s the reason, why all the love in the world, or at least most of it, wears off or becomes tiresome and boring after the individual gets used to the gratification of romantic, emotional and sexual significance.

“Did you really not make him a single dish that you liked?" I asked. After deliberating for a moment, Kikuno shook her head. "I didn't get to it in the end. I'm from Nagano, so when I cook for myself, I often make dishes using vegetables from back home. When I make shogayaki, for example, I add some grated apple to the soy sauce and mirin, and massage the marinade into the pork before frying it." "That sounds so good, though!" "But when I made shogayaki for him, I always followed the exact recipe I learned in class. The sugar content in apples makes it easy to burn, you see. Burnt meat doesn't look great. It was safer to use a classic recipe that everyone was familiar with. I was too scared to serve him flavors from home. But if I had..." Maybe things would be different, I finished the thought for her. She sipped her brandy as though she was trying to wash down the words that had made it to the tip of her tongue. There are things in this world that are "right" according to everyone else. Then there are things that are "right" only to you. Sure, we all know that we should follow what feels right to you. But how many people can really say, "I'm right," when everyone else is shouting out a different answer?”
