A student befriends a reclusive older man and at last receives the long confession that explains his solitude: a friendship, a love, and a betrayal that cost a life.

We who were born into this modern age, full of freedom and independence and self, must all taste this loneliness as the price of it, I suppose.
Kokoro, Natsume Sōseki
