A successful playwright for a Tokyo drama troupe, he is frequently asked to translate foreign works. He encounters difficulty when commissioned to write a Greek tale that closely mirrors a past experience from his college days, 15 years ago. His story in Aoi Bungako's "Run, Melos!" reflects this struggle as he attempts to write from the perspective of someone in the opposite role, yet finds himself unable to accept it due to memories of those left behind waiting for their friend.
