At a windy dusk before rain, the taller tomato plant bends dangerously in the gusts. Kai watches with concern while holding a thin fallen branch and a short length of plain garden twine. He considers whether leaving the plant alone has reached its limit.

關於本章
Kai finds a tomato seedling growing improbably between two paving stones and decides not to transplant it. What begins as an experiment in leaving things alone becomes a lesson in the difference between neglect and care. As the plant grows, heat and wind test it; Kai resists the urge to optimize everything, but eventually gives the plant just enough help to survive without taking control. Weeks later, the first tomato ripens. The small harvest becomes a quiet reminder that a slow life is not passive — it is attentive.
