by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa

This novella follows a university student named Shunsuke who has a chance encounter with a young woman in the rain. Their paths cross again at a concert, and he learns she is the cousin of his friend's fiancée. As they meet repeatedly in chance encounters, the narrative explores the complexities of love, fate, and mental illness. Shunsuke's encounters with Tatsuko, the young woman, raise questions about the nature of attraction, the role of chance in life, and the emotional turmoil of navigating a potential relationship while grappling with the realities of a loved one's mental health.
