Bibi, who was always by their side, disappeared one windy day. From a life with Bibi, they slowly grew accustomed to life without it. One day, it suddenly returned, and life was once again filled with its good habits and bad habits. But there was one thing they could never get used to: when it was truly time to say goodbye…

"Practicing Goodbyes" is a story by author Lin Hsiaobei, adapted from a real-life experience. Through the separation and reunion of a dog and a human, it tells how the sudden loss of a loved one, and the goodbyes that couldn't be said, can become an unhealable wound in the heart. But what if goodbye could be redone, could we truly practice it well?

Goodbye doesn't mean gone forever; disappearance is also a form of existence.
