Saito, H - Psychology Session Report

This data contains the many notes and recordings of the therapy sessions Hiroka Saito underwent for roughly 16 weeks when she was 24.
"Why did you go to the Torii at Mt. Fuji?"
"The Torii?… I like to watch the birds. Their used to be birds everywhere, when I was younger. Now I see two, maybe three, a day, at most - but there are always some at the Torii, flying underneath, over and over - like they know something.
(a pause)
My mother, my grandmother, used to tell me that passing beneath a Torii was a purification, a blessing - if I had dark thoughts, if something was troubling me, all I had to do was run beneath the Torii, *nervous laughter* she would tell me to run you, run as fast as I could, if I run beneath the Torii fast enough they would leave me alone.

I think she just wanted me to get out of the house.
When I was young, I wondered, if I could fly though, as fast as a bird, what could I leave behind.
