The memory of love has faded into something like a dream. Lost time can never be reclaimed…

The youngest of three sisters born into a poor single-mother household. In place of their mother, who worked multiple jobs and wore herself out, there was an older sister ten years her senior from a different father. Amid severe financial hardship, she says her sister was her emotional support. Even her dream of going to university came true thanks to the help of that sister, who had already started working.

I have two mothers…

After entering the workforce, she fell into a long romance with a coworker that lasted ten years. But…

Marriage born of heartbreak, followed by collapse, then new encounters… By the time she looked back, her eventful life had already passed its halfway point.
