Sweet mud

A child may not have the words to describe what love is, but their feelings are unmistakable. You'll see it, for sure, in the brightness of their eyes, in the way they light up around the person they care about, and in the small gestures of affection they will always show. Love-for a child-is innocent and pure, expressed not through baroque words, but through the simple, quiet moments they share. It's in the way they laugh together, their eagerness to spend time with each other, and the quiet comfort they find in each other's presence. Their hearts beat with a tenderness that reveals more than words ever could-the truest expression of a love so simple, yet so deep.
That's exactly how Satoru and Utahime discover the first sprouts of love in this story.
