Let me share with you the story of how San-chan became a part of my journey.
It all started on Day 250 of my walk across Japan.
After spending three months exploring Okinawa, I flew to Fukuoka to begin my adventure around Kyushu.
Fourteen days into walking, I arrived in Beppu City.
On the day I was preparing to leave, something unexpected happened.
Curiosity got the best of me, and I decided to step inside.
That was the moment I first laid eyes on San and her siblings.
But at that moment, everything felt so sudden.
I wasnt sure I had the responsibility or resolve to take her into my life.
So, I made the decision to walk away.
Yet, for the next few days, I couldnt stop thinking about her.
And luckily, she was.
But even then, I felt a twinge of guilttaking her away from her family didnt feel easy.
However, fate had a cruel twist in store.
I found out that San and her sisters were scheduled to be auctioned off on Christmas Day.
And thats how San became a part of my journey.
Or perhaps, thats where our story truly began.
