The idea that guiding the kitty shivering with fear in darkness by the light with fingertips is well, and characters that appears on the way of story are charming. The story is well organized, I hope to see this as complete one. The meaning of turning the light in the story is lighting our hearts and fingertips are the local agency of heart. The works like this would be change the images of digital.(Kenichiro Mogi, neuroscientist)
