Next month, she will leave home and start a new chapter in Tokyo as a nurse. It may become difficult for us to travel abroad together from then on, but I hope we will continue our tradition of maintaining a good relationship—perhaps by traveling to a foreign country once a year. According to her, our next destination will be Germany.
