"The lost seasons are finally returning to me.
It will surely be painful from now on, too.
It will probably be even more painful than before.
Because I haven't changed at all since that day."

I fell under a curse that overflowed from within me.
I hated spring. Unbeknownst to me, the season that always came had stopped coming.
The curse I cast on myself, the curse you cast. How will you notice the curses scattered everywhere?
