Before We Say Goodbye

Before We Say Goodbye: A Journey Through Time and Regret

Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s poignant tale, Before We Say Goodbye, delves into the universal question: what if you could travel back in time? And more importantly, who would you choose to meet, perhaps for one final moment?

The familiar faces at the mystical Cafe Funiculi Funicula know the legend and the cafe’s unique offering: time travel. Many have used it to reconnect with lost loves, reconcile with estranged family, and visit cherished ones. However, the journey isn’t without its rules and risks. Travellers must have been to the cafe before, and they must return to the present before their coffee cools.

Following the tradition of the Before the Coffee Gets Cold series, meet a new cast of characters:

• The husband with an important, unspoken message.
• The woman who couldn’t say goodbye to her dog.
• The woman who couldn’t respond to a proposal.
• The daughter who pushed her father away.

In Before We Say Goodbye, Kawaguchi welcomes you to join these characters as they revisit a pivotal moment in their lives.
