Author's Comment
"Hello! I'm Gotouge. How have you all been? Money can't buy health, so I pray from the bottom of my heart that you're all healthy and active. Thank you for all the best wishes, snacks, tea and handmade goods you send. I'm in such a state of great excitement every day that it makes my nose bleed. When I got a bloody nose, I just stuff in tissues and wear a mask over it all, so I'm fine."
