Before We Forget Kindness

This book is the fifth installment in the "Before the Coffee Gets Cold" series. It once again takes readers to the magical Funiculi Funicula cafe in Tokyo, where a specific seat allows people to travel back in time for a brief period. As with the previous books, there are strict rules for time travel, including the condition that they must return to the present before their coffee gets cold. The narrative consists of four new interconnected stories, each focusing on a character who wants to meet a loved one from the past. The stories explore themes of memory, family relationships, grief, and the enduring power of kindness, highlighting how even a short visit to the past can change one's present and future outlook.
