The ship blew its whistle as it glided into the harbor. The small island that had been smoky on the horizon suddenly towered before me as a massive mass. The trees rustled in the sea breeze, and the sunlit waters dazzled. I decided to spend my first vacation in a long time on an island—maybe it was because I wanted to escape the city heat, or because I read Makoto Shiina's essay—I'm not sure why. But I wanted to spend a relaxing day like that, feeling the lapping waves on my cheeks, dozing on the sand, and gazing blankly up at the endless starry sky. I rolled up the sleeves of my linen shirt and stepped onto the gangway in my flip-flops. Summer has begun again this year.
