Like a painting, like the lifelike Along the River During the Qingming Festival.
The past and future were like Ukiyo-e prints, all clearly displayed within.
They appeared still, yet also seemed to be unfolding.
PS1: Here comes the second update. There's one more to go, so let's keep pushing~~
Main text: 608. Tamaki Ako: Oh oh... I-I'm amazing!
