Nagusami / 37

A note from Yuuichiro, that gentleman most dapper, most immaculate, teaches me: In verb form, the word ‘nagusameru’ means ‘to comfort’, as in providing psychological relief when someone is under stress.

Comfort. The word appears to me in flames.

In this city we come to know intimately the pleasures and dangers of comfort. Comfort. The pillow, the nurse, the smothering.
