There was a lot of information, investigated in detail and dug up in depth... When I saw that, I thought...

Perhaps... if I followed this person around, I might understand what I'm looking for.

Grasp how to represent a person's mind.

...So that's how it was.

Yes.

...but it was no use.

In the end, I still didn't grasp anything...

...I think I'll give up on writing that novel...

Even if I try to guess at people's thoughts, my power gets in the way. I only dip into the surface and can't proceed any further.

As expected... it was something a satori like me couldn't understand.

It makes no sense for someone who doesn't understand minds to write a book about them.

...It took the whole day, but I've finally accepted defeat.
