The children are playing. Sometimes I wake up at night, feeling their presence. The following morning, dolls that I know I've put away have moved someplace else.
The more this happens, the more clearly I hear the sounds of playing, and the more often I have dreams where I'm there among the children, playing with them.
I can't make out the children clearly, but I think my late daughter is one of them.
Last night, it felt like I was being watched. I awoke to find a white-haired girl staring at me.
She said, "Don't worry. Your daughter is playing with the doll you fixed." After that, she disappeared.
Those eyes... It's like she could see everything. She even seemed to answer the very question that was on my mind.

子供たちが遊んでいる。
夜中、気配で目が覚めることがある。
翌朝、片付けたはずの人形が別の場所
に移動している。
そんなことが何度か繰り返されるうち、
その遊びの音はだんだんとはっきりと
聞こえ、私自身も一緒に、子供たちと
遊んでいるような夢を見る。
子供たちの姿ははっきりは見えないが、
亡くした娘もそこにいるように思える。
夜、視線を感じて目を開けると、
白髪の少女がこちらを見ていた。
その子は「あなたの娘は、あなたが直した
人形で遊んでいるから心配しないで」
と告げて姿を消した。
その目は全てを見通しているようで、私の
思ったことに答えてくれているようだった。
