I moved to Tokyo for work three years ago, and it was so busy during the New Year that I couldn't go back home. This time, returning home and seeing my mother again is after a whole year. Missing my mother's cooking, I used the summer vacation to go back... This summer seems to have abnormal weather, with every day being extremely hot. Living in my childhood home without air conditioning, sweat wouldn't stop from morning till night. And then, perhaps due to heatstroke... I couldn't take my eyes off the sweat flowing down my mother's neck, dripping from her forehead, and welling up on her chest.
