1. I was born in this town.
2. I've always lived in this same house.
3. Grandma and grandpa live close by, too.
4. So I get jealous when my friends talk about visiting their grandparents in hokkaido.
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. Fortunately, I more or less like it here.
2. "Ahh! You're laughing, sensei!"
3. "Heh heh heh!"
4. "Heh heh! "More or less," hm?"
5. "Sensei! I'm finished!"
6. "Aah, all of your essays are good."
7. "How come? What? Is eri's essay good?"
1. "Come now, mother!"
2. "I'm sorry, yoriko-san."
3. "I'll try not to be too much of a bother."
4. "Anyway, the movers will be here soon."
5. "This is your room, grandma!"
6. "Yup! No one was using this room, anyway."
7. "All this space for just me?"
8. "My goodness!"
1. "Maybe around here."
2. "Hmm, let's see."
3. "Where are you gonna put grandpa's altar?"
4. "I'll let you read it later."
5. "Oh! My teacher liked the essay I wrote today."
6. "Okay. I can't wait."
7. "Really? That's wonderful."
8. When grandpa died a little while ago, grandma was all alone.
1. Her house was too much for just her...
2. So she came to live with us.
3. I was sad that grandpa was gone.
4. But at the same time, happy I got to live with grandma.
1. "I'll take attendance now."
2. And kids who'd stop coming at the start of a new year.
3. There were a few kids like that.
4. Kids who'd stop coming at the start of the term.
5. "Maeda-kun's never here, huh?"
6. "Right?"
1. "But I saw maeda out shopping the other day and he seemed fine."
2. "Dunno."
3. "Bully-ing?"
4. "I mean, he was the one who said hi to me."
5. "Say hello properly."
6. "Hey!"
7. "'Sup?"
8. "He was with his mom."
9. "Like every-thing was normal and he'd been at school this whole time."
1. "Hmmm."
2. "I wonder why, then."
3. "Weird, huh?"
4. "I suppose."
5. "Well, you never know what's going on at home."
6. "I'm glad you've..."
7. "Got lots of friends at school, eri. And that you're enjoying it."
1. I'm kinda freaked out that I don't know any of these people.
2. But the sailor uniform is really cute.
1. "Morn-ing!"
2. "Morn-ing!"
3. "Make any friends?"
4. "Not yet."
5. "Me neither."
6. "Bye!"
7. "Hopefully we'll meet up on the way home, too."
8. "See you!"
9. "Yeah!"
1. "Uh!"
2. "Um!"
3. "Walk home together today?"
4. "Would you..."
5. "Maybe want to..."
6. But...
7. "I thought, maybe we'll end up being friends?"
8. "I get that."
9. "I was worried I'd never make any friends."
1. "Actually... I'm going to walk home with them today."
2. "So, um."
3. "Oh. You are?"
4. I mean, it's fine, but...
5. "Ha ha!"
6. "Thanks for hanging out with me till now."
7. Looks like she's found some people she likes.
1. "She was just using you until she made some real friends."
2. "Hilari-ous."
3. "Yeah, looks like, huh?"
4. "Uh?"
5. "If we end up in the same class, do you want to walk home together?"
6. "Totally. She pulled that with me at the entrance exam."
7. "She must really hate being alone, huh?"
8. That's how I got to be friends with chie-chan.
9. "Ha ha ha!"
1. I also got friendly with chie-chan's friends.
2. "I'm glad you've..."
3. "got lots of friends at school, Eri."
4. Well, you know.
1. It's because I don't know him.
2. It's so much easier with a stranger...
3. When you're born and raised in a small town.
1. It wasn't just our group.
2. It was, I dunno...
3. All the groups.
4. Like we all thought the mix in our class was perfect.
1. "Well. Maybe not everyone."
2. But I thought so, anyway.
3. Everything changed with the new school year.
4. "Another new class."
1. Even though my friends were there,
2. Class didn't feel the same anymore.
3. "I saw Maeda out shopping the other day..."
4. "and he seemed fine."
5. "How is maeda-kun doing?"
6. "I wonder..."
1. I want to see him.
2. I want to talk to him.
3. "I don't want to do anything."
4. "But..."
1. "It's extremely unfortunate."
3. "So what if, for instance, when they get married..."
4. "You have an older brother and an older sister, yes?"
1. "What the--?! You idiot!"
2. "Why'd you go and drop out?"
3. "Sorry."
4. "I mean, you can't quit, you dope!"
5. I hung out with chie-chan and them sometimes.
6. "Ha ha ha!"
7. "Anyway, let's all hang out."
8. "You've got all the time in the world now!"
1. But...
2. The reality of that got to me.
3. And I wasn't.
4. They were all changing.
5. "Like you're being left behind."
6. "Yeah, I get that feeling, maybe."
7. "So... You faded out."
8. "The truth is, time stopped for me, so..."
1. "Oh!"
2. "You need to get going soon, right?"
3. "Whoa! What..."
4. "Is she doing here?"
