The next season

“If you leave it as it is it will fail. Truly. This part has to be fixed.”

He did not know whether it would get through or not. But for him sincerity meant at least trying to convey it.

His logic was sound.

Anyone who heard the explanation could see it. At least they could feel as though they understood.

And yet despite his earnest warning it failed all the same.

He turned his attention inward to his own structure.

“I am only stating what seems clear to me. And yet it so often does not reach people.”

He thought of lamenting it but stopped himself.

He did not fall into pessimism either.

He simply quietly accepted that the next season had arrived.
