I'm not sure that I would be able to grow pumpkins, but I'm definitely interested in eating them. Pumpkins are not a big deal over here, the only time I've come into contact with said veggie was at school, when the cooks insisted on putting pickled pumpkin in the salads (fucking nasty!) and when my former manager treated me to a slice of pumpkin pie when I took care of her dogs for a week.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
