A scene from Kanon

[Last Regrets, the Kanon game opening theme, plays during Ayu's monologue]

I liked the flowing scenery. The city where the snow falls. I liked running through the marketplace while leaving new footprints. Spring... the city where the snow melts. I liked scooping up little clumps of snow that remained on the trees. Summer... the city that forgot the cold of snow. I liked looking at the city scenery that showed under a tilted umbrella. Fall... the city waiting for the season of snow. I liked catching the little flakes of snow that fell from the sky in the palm of my hand. And the season turns to winter. The season when the city gets covered all in white. I liked the flowing seasons. But like winter puddles that froze into ice, my time was frozen. I was always all alone within the season-less time. Repeating again and again. Staring at the same scenery again and again in my dream. Leaving my body to the ceaseless night. But now... slowly... the night is ending.
