« That’s enough questions. »

One evening, I asked whether he’d ever dreamed of becoming famous.
« It was a dream once. »

« It was a dream once. But my time’s gone. Maybe you will inherit it. »
I never understood what he meant.
By sixteen, I’d taught myself guitar and started writing songs. I wanted to study music production and record my own album someday.
