#24 When did we stop being innocent children?

My grandfather's house during summer vacation was my ultimate paradise back then.

Hata shares memories of visiting his grandfather's house, a tradition during his summer breaks. He recalls those times as the most fun and irreplaceable moments of the entire year. Thinking back on those days at his grandfather's house still warms his heart, representing a time when he was truly an "innocent child," enjoying himself purely.

There was a moment when the way I innocently enjoyed myself changed due to a certain event.

Amidst these happy memories, a moment arises where one suddenly realizes, "I can no longer be as innocent as I once was." A specific event caused the place where he used to play so purely to look different. Through Hata's choice of words while describing this event, you can feel the confusion he felt at the time. Perhaps this is simply a part of the growing process that everyone experiences. The conversation goes even deeper, so please listen to the full episode to hear the rest.
