"Fleeting encounter"
That day, I was walking along the same path I always walked, but on that day I was walking a little later than usual. When I saw a fox running quickly up the hill in front of me, I never imagined I would encounter a fox on this path.

The scene made me feel like the fox was saying "I'm late, I'm late." and quickly ran away, which was a heart-warming scene.

On the usual path, unexpected encounters and slightly different scenery can be seen due to a slight change in time. I have walked along the same path almost everyday, hoping to see the fox again, but I never have.

Maybe this is what encounters are like. Fleeting, in the moment and gone forever.
