I'm extremely introverted, and realized somewhere along the way that while I got the concept of loneliness, I couldn't even quite imagine what it actually felt like.

I only very rarely try to explain that to people, and I've never before seen it explained, or even really mentioned, by anyone else. Until Makio.

And I love that Asa understood and appreciated that Makio didn't really understand her loneliness, but broadly sympathized anyway.

Part of what we have here is two extremely sensitive people who both live behind similarly strong but otherwise very different walls.

It amazes me how good this is.
