Into the book
"Is this 119? I'm committing suicide right now..."
He woke up in the hospital feeling empty.
I felt even more depressed, wondering if I had to live like this forever.
People who came to see him after hearing the news recommended that he seek psychiatric counseling.
He accepted.
It wasn't to prevent suicide, but to know why people can't commit suicide.
When I met with the doctor, the usual questions were asked.
His childhood family history and trauma… He couldn't hold back and confessed honestly.

“If you and I make a contract and drink this wedding wine, our lives will change immediately.
You will become a successful 66-year-old wealthy person, and I will become a 20-year-old youth with nothing.
“It was so natural, like magic.”
(…)
“What do you think? Would you like to trade with me?”
