Before We Say Goodbye
Translated by Geoffrey Trousselot
About
The fourth visit to the magical Café Funiculi Funicula — and four new travelers who need its impossible gift. A husband with something crucial left to say. A woman who never got to say goodbye to her dog. A woman who couldn't answer a proposal. A daughter who drove her father away. The rules haven't changed: you can't alter the present, and the trip ends when the coffee cools. Kawaguchi has refined his formula to something nearly alchemical — each story is a miniature study in regret, structured around a single conversation that changes everything without changing anything. Before We Say Goodbye understands that the point of going back in time was never to fix the past — it's to finally hear what you were too afraid to listen to.
