Love and Mystery on a Remote Island: A Theory of Harmony between Nature and Emotion (1)
A and B are living a happy life on a remote island, just the two of them, and although they are worried about the shadow of the devil creeping into the island, their love for each other deepens. B’s beauty, in particular, was like a miracle, increasing day by day. At times her beauty shone like the spirit of a flower, and at other moments it seemed like the temptation of the devil.
As A shared quiet moments by the sea, he was drawn to B’s beauty, but he had mixed feelings in his heart. Like the stars in the night sky, his thoughts were vague and sadness covered his heart. However, without words, they felt each other’s presence and quietly passed the time together, which became their daily routine.
Fearing God’s will, and unable to express their feelings out loud, an invisible bond was spun between them. One day, B asks what if. If one of them were to pass away, what should the survivor do? To this question, A was at a loss for words, but smiled sadly. This question symbolized the reality they could not avoid and the uncertainty of the future.
Their life together on this remote island became a peaceful yet tame one. Happiness and loneliness mingled, and the silence of the seashore occasionally roared in their hearts. On the island, surrounded by a mysterious atmosphere, A and B were bound by the threads of fate.
Also, as an old tale, the event of being invited by a friend to go swimming in Kamakura is also tied to this story. The way they spend their time at the beach, their stay at a remote inn, and their encounter at a kakechaya. These events are connected to A and B’s happy days on a remote island and link the entire story.
