I'm always asking... Why does it have to be him? Out of all people, why him? He did not do anything wrong. So why does he have to disappear--when all he had done is to love? Why did his parents had to abandon him? There are so many questions in this world that can be asked, but mine was always.... Why? But then again I wouldn't have met him on the forest if that didn't happen. We wouldn't have been able to love each other if something else began from the start. And when I'm about to lose hope of ever finding love, I met him. Again. This time, the story I will tell is different. Not what you or I had expected... ....But different..

I was six when I met him. I had lost my way in an enchanted forest. He appeared before me, but I couldn't touch him for fear of making him disappear. ----- Into the Forest of Fireflies' Light is a story about a girl, Hotaru, who becomes friends with a mountain spirit despite the limitations on their interactions - he will forever disappear if he is touched by a human. This story is based on the anime movie "Hotarubi no Mori e". Watch "Hotarubi no Mori e" on an anime website!
