春は、週に一度、駅前の小さな喫茶店を訪れるのが習慣になっていた。窓際の席に座り、温かい紅茶を飲みながら、行き交う人々を眺めるのが好きだった。特に、年配の夫婦がいつも同じ時間に隣の席で静かに話しているのを見るのが楽しみだった。彼らの穏やかな様子は、まるで時が止まったかのように感じられたものだ。
For Haru, visiting a small coffee shop in front of the station once a week had become a habit. She liked to sit by the window, drink warm black tea, and watch people come and go. She especially enjoyed seeing an elderly couple who always talked quietly at the next table at the same time. Their peaceful demeanor felt as if time itself had stopped.
