"You sure got it good first thing in the morning." 14. That means, because of me, 15. Satou-san has to do more work, doesn't it?

1. Satou-san is five years older than me. 2. She's quiet and doesn't stand out, but 3. She's cool and reliable at her job. 4. "Get to work!" 5. For someone like me, who's bad at work and always talks about guys, 6. She must think I'm a useless human. 7. "It's true..."

1. "Go on ahead." 2. "I need to enter this first." 3. "Let's go out to lunch~" 4. "Oh!" 5. "She's serious." 6. But going out to lunch 7. Has become a silent agreement. 8. Out to lunch... The truth is, I'm tight on money... 9. I went to the salon, after all.

1. I wonder where she eats it. 2. Satou-san always brings her lunch. 3. All alone. 4. Is it scary? 5. Being alone... 7. "Good work!" 8. "Can we meet tonight?"

1. "Haa..." 2. "Congrats, you did it!" 3. "He's definitely going to confess." 4. "I want to hear someone say, "I love you~"" 5. "I'm starting to want to fall in love, too." 6. "What's with that? You should be jumping for joy!" 7. I don't want to go.

1. I wish I was like them. 2. Where falling in love with someone is a matter of course. 3. ...something normal. 4. The girls in fashion magazines are shown happily smiling arm in arm with guys as well. 5. That's normal. 6. Isn't being alone forever 7. Scary? 8. ...it is scary.

1. "Would you go out with me?" 2. It's scary, but... 3. If I say "Yes" 4. It might make things easier. 5. "Come on~" 6. "I'm not cute at all~" 7. "Easier"? What the hell, I'm the worst. 8. "And my personality is bad, too~" 9. "And on top of that, I'm terrible at work." 10. "Ah, my senpai has to go over my work because of my mistakes~"

1. It's not possible to love 2. Please realize 3. Someone like me. 4. "I like you." 5. "Even I don't like myself, basically~" 6. "Really, there's never been anything good about me." 7. Why? 8. Even though he's saying he likes me, 9. Even though he's such a good person,

1. "You're a defective human." 2. "... I'm sorry." 3. "Ah!" 4. "It's not normal." 5. "Not being able to fall in love with anyone is messed up." 6. "There has to be something wrong with you." 7. "I'm sorry for bothering you." 8. "I knew I didn't have a shot..."

1. He was a good person until the end. 2. I hurt someone like that. 3. No matter how nice I dress 4. Or how good my makeup is 5. It doesn't matter. 6. Why can't I love anyone? 7. And yet, I feel like I'm the victim. 8. I only think how it's scary to be alone, and trample over other people's feelings.

1. After all, inside I'm defective goods, full of holes. 2. Why? 3. Why? 4. Why can't I love myself? 5. "Uww.."

1. "Someone help me..."

1. "sniffle" 2. "sniffle" 3. "I'm so screwed up... And I just hate it..." 4. "sniffle" 5. "sniffle" 6. "Is something the matter?" 7. "..." 8. "!?"

1. "Uno-san?" 2. "gahh..."

1. "I'm surprised we live so close." 2. "You can have one." 3. "Ehh?" 4. "You mess up, satou-san!?" 5. "...thank you." 6. "I do." 7. "I'm eating them now, am I not?" 8. "It's good!" 9. "Whenever I mess up at work, I get these doughnuts." 10. "Right?"

1. "Doughnuts" 2. "Are good because they have a hole, you know." 3. "?" 4. Good 5. Because they have a hole?

1. "That's right, about the invoices." 2. "They were perfect." 3. "Yes!" 4. "Hur-ray!" 5. "Even during lunch," 6. "You were working hard." 7. "You were watching?" 8. "I'm glad..." 9. "Oh no, I just thought, I don't want to trouble you any- more~" 10. "Speaking personally," 11. "?"

1. "But," 2. "And surrounded by people, like you're in a different world." 3. "Bright and stylish and charming" 4. "Unlike me, you're always" 5. "Seeing even you crying alone, blaming yourself." 6. "...I felt a little relieved." 7. "Right." 8. "And eat doughnuts?" 9. "When things get rough," 10. "I think it's okay to take a little break."

1. With that, the conversation ended. 2. But it felt strangely pleasant, sitting there. 3. If I told her she had something on her cheek, 4. I think it would have ruined it.

1. So I gazed up at the crescent moon the whole time.

1. "Oh" 2. "G'morning, hinako!" 3. "G'morning!" 4. "How'd it go yesterday?" 5. "He really dumped me good..." 6. "Well~" 7. "No way~!" 8. "I thought for sure it'd work out!" 9. "Sorry." 10. "Well, there's always next time."

1. Someone who puts on a front like me 2. Could never tell them how I broke down in tears last night. 3. "Next time!" 4. "I'll do my best! Thanks, you two." 5. "Oh! That's the spirit." 6. "You know what they say, the right person will show up one day." 7. "Ah~ eel." 8. "Hey, so le'ts go somewhere nice for lunch today!" 9. "The cafeteria's udon is just fine!" 10. Right, one day I hope I can talk to them about love. 11. "!"

1. "U-do-n!" 2. "Eel." 3. "She fled." 4. "One second, go without me." 5. One day

1. I want to be able to love someone. 2. With my chest held high, 3. "Good morning!"

1. Is she angry...? 2. "What?" 3. "Good morning..." 4. "...yesterday," 5. "Did I have something on my cheek when we were talking?" 6. She's angry!! 7. "...my little sister made fun of me." 8. "Ah." 9. "...yes."

1. "...pf" 2. "Report, communicate, consult! I won't forget!" 3. "Next time! Next time I'll make sure to tell you!" 4. "I'm not upset." 5. Was it from running a little? 6. Or getting flustered? 7. Or satou-san surprising me with her smile? 8. I couldn't say, but 9. "Next time, please tell me."

1. Just now, my heart started fluttering.
