1. "Oh, no, please, don't worry about it..."
2. "I know she said all those things because she cares about you..."
3. "Sorry about all that, Saki."
4. "I'll make sure to have a talk with her later."
5. "Sigh."
6. "But she's always been easy to rile up,"
7. "or rather, she can be quite extreme, at times."
8. "Rinne actually is"
9. "pretty kind at her core,"
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "But..."
2. "She even had a better knack for it than me."
3. "...Rinne actually used to play the piano, too."
4. "Rinne,"
5. "..."
6. "I already quit."
7. "aren't you going to do your piano lesson?"
8. "Mom will get mad at you if you don't."
9. "No way!!"
10. "and she said 'Okay.'"
11. That was it.
12. "I just told her I was quitting,"
13. "You're kidding me, right?"
14. "What did you tell Mom!?"
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "...I played piano"
2. "because I admired seeing you play the piano."
3. "ENOUGH ALREADY!"
4. "First of all, why did you quit!? You were in competitions and everything ..."
5. "If you're not playing the piano anymore,"
6. "then I don't want to, either."
1. "From doing lots of things."
2. "Rinne has had to hold herself back..."
3. "..."
4. "Because of me..."
5. But,
6. Still,
7. "She's a savage."
8. "How are your piano lessons with my mom going?"
9. "Ha, ha, ha!"
10. "It's fine."
11. "Thanks."
12. "Here."
13. "Her behavior was uncalled for."
14. "I'm so sorry about that."
1. "Are you talking about Ayano?"
2. "There's the term 'Associated Sibling'..."
3. "and then there's also—"
4. "I see-."
5. "It's pretty fun."
6. "How are things going with the literature club?"
7. "Tanabe-san is in the club, too."
8. "that girl..."
9. "Ayano is probably..."
10. There are still so many things
11. "One of the seniors in the club has very unique interests."
12. that I don't know anything about...
13. "Oh, wow."
14. "She's always talking to me about books I've never heard of."
1. "Eh?"
2. "SORRY FOR STAYING UNTIL SO LATE."
3. "UH, YEAH..."
4. "Ha, ha."
5. "OKAY~!"
6. "BYE-BYE, SEE YOU TOMORROW!"
7. I forgot that we're outside and it's dark, so she probably can't make out what I'm saying.
8. "......"
1. OH? The lights are...
2. "HMM."
3. "At least turn on your lights!"
4. "Rinneee!"
1. "... What?"
2. Is she still sulking...?
3. The Hard-To-Visualize Issues of Associated Siblings Next, we asked «Associated Siblings», children with siblings who have disabilities or illnesses, to respond to a questionnaire about what difficulties they faced in their childhoods. «When I was in school, some inconsiderate classmates in my grade would make fun of me a lot because my older sister, who was two grades above us, was deaf and wasn't able to speak properly. I didn't want to trouble my parents, so I never told them about it.» «I always felt lonely because my parents were not able to give me as much attention as they gave to my sister, who was born with a congenital, incurable illness and needed constant care. I was even jealous of my sister, who was in the hospital with our parents looking after her, while I was left alone at home.» «For as long as I can remember, I've been expected to be more of a caretaker than anolder brother for my disabled younger brother, so I think I became a very repressed child due to having to unwillingly act in a manner that was not appropriate for my age.»
1. has also faced a fair share of
2. unpleasant and difficult things in her life.
3. But
4. I shouldn't walk while looking at my phone.
5. I'm sure that Rinne-chan...
6. she's never shown signs of voicing complaints
7. about Kanon or her mom, even once.
8. "You're the only one!!"
9. "Come out of this setting hurt!!"
10. "Carelessly let yourself be decided! Kanon!"
11. !?
12. ...She's a kind girl...
13. She really loves Kanon a lot.
3. "Rinne's not at home."
4. "What do I do?"
5. "NOW'S NOT THE TIME TO BE ASKING ME THAT, RIGHT?"
6. "... SAKI, WHY ARE YOU HERE?"
1. She left the prefab unit and went back home,
2. "..."
3. I thought that...
4. "Rinne-chan's not here?"
5. "What do you mean"
6. But her shoes... Are gone...
7. "I have it..."
8. "But it doesn't show that she's read any of my messages."
9. "Where's your smart-phone?"
10. "Do you have it with you?"
11. "..."
12. "..."
13. "What do I do now?"
14. "And my mom's not here today because she went to rinne's middle school pta meeting..."
1. "She'll come back home soon!"
2. "It'll be okay."
3. "Yeah..."
4. "......"
5. "And I'll wait here with you until she does."
6. "..."
7. "I guess you're right..."
1. I could run out and go search for her.
2. But
3. If I could hear,
4. I would be able to go look for her right away.
5. When it's dark, I can't tell if people or cars might be coming at me from the sides or behind me.
6. "Do you remember how I bumped into you when we first met?"
7. I'd sooner get into an accident than find rinne.
8. For someone like me, who can't rely on my sense of hearing, and whose sense of sight also gets worse when traveling around at night,
9. I really hate times like these.
10. Doing this is impossible.
1. I CAN'T DO ANYTHING...
2. "Okay, then."
1. "She might be at a supermarket,"
2. "or at the eat-in area of a convenience store."
3. "There's only so many places a middle schooler can go to."
4. "Plus, it's still really cold out tonight."
5. "Let's go look for her."
6. "If she's not in any of them, then we'll come back at once."
7. "Let's go look around the nearby stores."
8. "I'll stay with you until we find her."
9. "She might've finished cooling her head off and returned by then."
10. "Anyway,"
11. "Okay?"
1. "Thank you..."
2. "..."
3. "Okay."
4. ...
5. "Saki."
6. "Yeah?"
7. "..."
8. "Alright, then, let's start off by searching in that supermarket over there."
9. "Sorry to take advantage of your kindness."
10. "Don't worry about that in moments like these!"
1. "Sure."
2. "What is it?"
3. "Then..."
4. "While we're here, could I ask for one more thing?"
5. "Yes?"
6. "So, um,"
7. "My hand?"
8. "... Your hand."
1. "I want you to"
2. "Hold my hand."
3. "It's really scary for me to walk"
4. "In dark places,"
5. "But"
6. "If you hold my hand,"
7. "I'll feel at ease."
1. "OKAY."
3. "OH!"
1. "Urgk!"
2. "Rinne!! So this is where you were at!!"
3. "Just how worried we've been about...?"
4. "I can't believe you. Do you have any idea"
5. "Huh!?"
6. "Just leave me alone. You're so annoying."
1. "..."
2. "I asked saki to hold my hand,"
3. "Because I'm scared of how dark it is outside."
4. "Rinne, you seriously need to behave yourself!"
5. "What are you two holding hands for!?"
6. "It's so gross!"
7. "I'm glad we found you lively and well."
8. "Saki even came all this way to help me look for you, too."
9. "I didn't mind coming along."
10. "..."
11. "Come on, rinne, say thanks to her."
1. "Thank you very much!!"
2. "There, I said it properly!!"
3. "Huh? What was that again?"
4. "... Very much."
5. "Honestly"
1. This little...!
2. "Unlike my ears, your sharp tongue can actually be fixed, so it's about time you do something about it."
3. "You can be so selfish, rinne!"
4. The only reason I'm not talking back is because she won't be able to hear me right now, anyway...
5. "You don't think twice and have a sharp tongue!!"
6. But,
7. I do know that you're thinking a lot about me,
8. That you're trying to protect me,
1. Saki is properly looking out for me, too.
2. "But, you know,"
3. "..."
4. "...and that you've been holding yourself back on many things."
5. "..."
6. "Just to help another friend look for their little sister..."
7. "Usually, friends don't stay over so late"
8. "She's a very kind-hearted girl."
9. The moment she found me at the convenience store,
10. After all,
11. "I guess you have a point."
1. ...I just
2. have a feeling that...
3. ...
4. She looked just as relieved as my sister
5. to have found me...
6. "OH, WELL."
7. "!?"
8. "NOTHING~!"
9. "EH? OF WHAT?"
10. I GUESS, FOR NOW, I'LL APPROVE OF HER FOR YOU.
1. Their mom was really mad at them after this.
2. "I've told you both before to let me know every time you go out, haven't I? Hey, Kanon, look me in the eyes!"
1. the moon on a rainy night
1. "My hand?"
2. "... YOUR HAND."
3. "MAY I HAVE"
4. "YOUR HAND IN MARRIAGE, PLEASE?"
