Island “Mercury”

“This is the name of my island in the video game 'Animal Crossing.' Although this world is fictional, it has given me many precious moments. During the pandemic, there was a period when I couldn't go out to work, and my normal life was affected, which made me very frustrated. With nothing to do at home, exploring different landscapes and meeting animal friends in the virtual world of the video game brought me healing.

Even now, I still look forward to the cherry blossoms, shooting stars, fireworks, and snowmen each year. They are not just a string of data to me but a companion through a period of time.”
