About this title

Synopsis

The headline read "woman dies in crash". All the time, the picture of the old lady kept slipping into his mind - he couldn't forget the moment when the Honda had crashed. It was an accident, but it had happened because he hadn't known how to ride the bike properly, a bike he had stolen.
