it's simple, it's easy to read and well-paced but so fruitful when it comes to human nature. the two main characters, the unnamed protagonist and Sensei, both have incredible flaws but never really gave enough cause to dislike them. they seemed so real. their actions and behaviors, though admittedly coming from an unreliable narrator, seem justified and real - like something you could see yourself doing if you were put in their shoes. Sensei's letter really wraps the title up into the story, "the heart of things" is the happiness and beauty of the world but also the pain and loneliness.
