Abstract

What happens when someone close to you disappears?　What the old man taught me.
I'm Pipoppo, a java finches. I lives with an old man. Whenever he went out, he always bought me my favorite bean sprouts.
I was happy.
One day, an old man is hospitalized, and Pipoppo ends up living at the old man's daughter's house.
How is it that I, at age 10, am older than him at age 86?
“It has a different lifespan. You have a much shorter lifespan than us humans.”
Pipoppo straightened and straightened his posture. It imitated the old man.
"We'll always be together"
