2. "Why don't you get a new phone?"
3. "Mine takes great pictures, wanna see?"
4. "All the backgrounds in the pictures I took yesterday are blurry!"
5. "Something wrong?"
6. "Wow, they're so pretty... I'm jealous."
7. "Look as much as you want. If you like any, I'll send them to you."
8. "Wow, this looks way different!"
9. "Nah, I'm fine. Just zoning out."
10. "..."
Naglo-load…Naglo-load…
1. "Sorry I'm making you wait."
2. "No, not at all!"
3. "It's perfectly fine."
4. "I'll be sure..."
5. "...to give you an answer before you go home..."
6. "I'm honestly just happy that you're giving it some thought..."
7. "...and seriously considering it."
8. And she said "Can you give me some time to think?"
9. And she also said thank you.
10. I confessed my feelings last night.
Naglo-load…Naglo-load…
1. Since I didn't expect anything, I should get away with only minor pain.
2. I wasn't expecting anything more.
3. ...that I love her?
4. Isn't it enough that she accepted...
5. "I'll only unpack the essentials..."
6. "...and go to bed early."
7. "I'll cry when I get home."
8. "Then, in the morning, I'll go to a salon."
9. "I'll look for a job while I'm there, too. Also what else..."
10. "Maybe I'll get a new hobby."
11. "Something I can immerse myself in."
1. "I wanted to go someplace with you where you usually hang out."
2. "It's fine."
3. "Don't you think we should have gone somewhere else to sightsee?"
4. "See, there's really nothing much over here on the south side."
5. "..."
6. "...like totally empty places, don't you, shiho...?"
7. "You really..."
8. "Back home, things are so noisy and crowded."
9. "I feel so much more comfortable in these empty places."
10. "It's not like that..."
11. "..."
1. "...?"
2. "..."
3. "Ah, yeah."
4. "I have to be at the airport in about an hour."
5. "Do you..."
6. "...still have time?"
7. "... Okay."
8. "Let's sit down over there."
9. "So, I was super happy yesterday."
10. "I was glad to hear you could like someone like me."
1. "I'll start at the end."
2. "I can't date you, inuzuka."
3. "I'm really sorry."
4. "It's not that I hate you or I can't date women..."
5. "Remember at the meetup?"
6. "That's not it."
7. "I told you about my old boyfriend."
8. "You said you dated him as an extension of your friendship..."
9. "Y-yeah."
10. "Yeah, him."
11. "He told me he liked me, so I went out with him."
1. But it was pretty obvious from my behavior...
2. ...that I was going about it in a half-assed way.
3. At first it was just curiosity...
4. And he...
5. ...and I did really like him as a friend and a person.
6. ...picked up on that.
7. I thought it would probably work out.
8. He was really hurt.
9. He told me he felt like it was dishonest.
1. "I..."
2. "I don't want to make the same mistake again."
3. "I don't want to trample all over your feelings like that..."
4. "I don't care if you trample on my feelings..."
5. "...as long as I could be your girlfriend..."
6. "...for even an instant."
7. "I don't want anything more..."
8. "...than just to be able to date you."
1. "Is that still not enough ...?"
2. "..."
3. "I'm sorry..."
4. "...let me rephrase."
5. "I didn't really want to say it this way, though..."
1. "I'm not brave enough to weather the negative gaze of society."
2. "It would be different if I could see you for fun..."
3. "...even for just a minute, like you said."
4. "..."
1. "I want to respect you as my partner."
2. "But I don't want to do that."
3. "Especially not with you."
4. If we were still students, it would be fine.
5. If we could hide from the people around us, we wouldn't have any problems.
6. But after that?
7. As the years went by, people would be asking us all the time whether we had boyfriends or when we were getting married...
8. How long could we avoid the question...
9. ...and how could we answer?
10. ...with all our friends and coworkers?
1. "Yeah."
2. "...there are people who accept it now."
3. "I know there are some people like that."
4. "B-but you know..."
5. ""They're weaker than we are.""
6. ""We're so much better than they are.""
7. "But even more people..."
8. "...are heartless and cruel."
9. "And in that moment they hold the power of life and death over you."
1. It's not just bad intentions.
2. It's all a means to soak in their own sense of superiority.
3. It's these same thoughts that lead to people's sympathy and worry.
4. "My family was like that..."
5. "They always treated me like that."
6. "Saying I was a disappointment..."
7. "...that I was the daughter they screwed up."
8. "I've finally gotten..."
9. "...to a place where I can ignore it..."
1. "I really like you, inuzuka..."
2. "...but I don't have the energy to fight..."
3. "So..."
4. "...with you."
5. "...I'm really sorry."
6. "Okay..."
7. "..."
8. "..."
1. "I get it."
2. "You got your point across."
3. "This is just how I..."
4. "I-I don't want to deny your whole way of life, though..."
5. "I-I was..."
6. "In fact, I was just thinking about how right you are."
7. "But I'm glad."
8. "Inu-"
9. "...acting so carelessly, really."
10. "I'm glad you told me how you really feel, shiho."
11. "I feel a lot better now."
2. "You, uh..."
3. "..."
4. "Yeah, I will!"
5. "Well, be careful..."
6. "Just let me know if you ever want to come visit again."
7. "Well..."
8. "...not if I don't have to."
9. "I was gonna say call me if you ever come back home, but..."
10. "...you're not coming back, are you?"
11. I left her behind in that house...
12. "But...if you twist my arm about it, I am worried about my little sister."
1. "Well, then..."
2. "If I ever go back, I'll get in touch."
3. "Sure."
4. "Anytime..."
5. "..."
6. I wonder if she's okay...
7. "Hey, sorry I'm so late!"
8. "It's cool, we just got here too."
1. "You didn't read her text?"
2. "Hm? Where's miwa?"
3. "She's still feeling sick."
4. "She lives alone, right?"
5. "But I'm worried about her."
6. "Well, it's that time of year, isn't it?"
7. "Really? She said that last week too."
8. "We've got a lot of time before our next concert. Just let her rest."
9. "Could you go check on her for us, saeko?"
10. "Hmm..."
11. "Yeah, I should..."
