// Kotomi
<0001>
// 8 o'clock in the morning.
<0002>
// I was standing in front of Kotomi's house.
<0003>
// I have no reason to attend school, so I'm wearing casual clothes.
<0004>
// I press the doorbell.
<0005>
// There was no answer.
<0006> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well... fine..."
<0007>
// Anyhow, I don't think she feels like going out. I wonder what she's doing... she should realize it eventually, even if she doesn't want to.
<0008> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "All right... let's start."
<0009>
// The garden was still almost completely overshadowed.
<0010>
// My trousers got wet with the morning dew as I stepped on the grass.
<0011>
// At my feet is a white butterfly dancing as it rises up and crosses over the roof.
<0012>
// I stand next to the rusted garden table.
<0013>
// I look around it.
<0014>
// I suddenly let a sigh out.
<0015>
// Looking at it inside the bright light, it feels like a savage grassland.
<0016>
// There were some flowers left near the hedge; at least they were salvaged.
<0017>
// First, I lifted the fallen chair that was on the ground and placed it to its original place.
<0018>
// I've become determined.
<0019>
// And then, I took off my jacket and rolled it up on my arm.
<0020>
// The first thing I should do is weeding.
<0021>
// I grip the weeds that are standing out from the rest and pull them out.
<0022>
// They're surprisingly sticking hard to the ground, so it's a lot of physical work.
<0023>
// I immediately sweat over.
<0024>
// The sun had become high, and it's baking up the back of my neck.
<0025> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... are you trying to make it harder for me?!"
<0026>
// The shirt is sticking to my back, my arm is full of scratches, and my fingers are too full of bruises.
<0027> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I should have brought army cotton gloves."
<0028>
// I keep wiping my sweat as I curse myself for not planning ahead.
<0029>
// The garden in my memory was always beautiful; that's why I was thinking that it should be beautiful.
<0030>
// If it was that beautiful, then it must be that this garden lacked maintenance.
<0031> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I wonder why..."
<0032>
// Most of all, something has to be done with this overgrown lawn other than pulling the weeds, or my efficiency would be too terrible.
<0033> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Ah... that's right."
<0034>
// My work was interrupted as I realized something.
<0035>
// I wander around the side of the house.
<0036>
// Beside the water faucet was a scoop and besom, as well as a hand-push lawnmower.
<0037>
// And beside it is a small storeroom.
<0038>
// I tried to open the door.
<0039>
// And as I thought, gardening tools were inside.
<0040>
// A shovel and sickle, even some chemicals and a fertilizer bag, and they were all sorted out.
<0041>
// And placed in the hook behind the door are two aprons used for gardening.*
<0042>
// They were probably used by Kotomi's parents.
<0043>
// Lifting up the bottom of the mower, the blades were all rusted red. *
<0044> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You won't be of any use, huh." to the rusted lawnmower blades. - Kinny Riddle
<0045>
// Next, I picked up a shear with a long handle.
<0046>
// The edge of it has become rusted too, and it shakes bad as well.
<0047>
// I looked inside the storeroom one more time and found a small grindstone.
<0048>
// I don't know how to sharpen it, but it's better than not doing it.
<0049>
// I sit at that place and put the edge of shear at the grindstone...
<0050>
// I carry the sharpened shear and head back to the weeds.
<0051>
// Snip...
<0052>
// The grass fell to the ground, making a sound that's heavier and damper than when cutting on paper.
<0053> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Now I can use this." my alt translation above. - Kinny Riddle
<0054>
// The sun had risen during that time, and the increase in temperature had become noticeable.
<0055>
// I wield nothing but the shears that look like they're hiding inside my own shadow.
<0056>
// I was immersing myself, never stopping my hand from working except from wiping my sweat.
<0057>
// .........
<0058>
// ......
<0059>
// ...
<0060>
// The feel of the sharpness of the shear had become dull.
<0061>
// As I raise my head, the sun was already setting down.
<0062>
// Because I had always kept my head down from working, the reddish sunlight was dazzling.
<0063>
// I look at the sunset for a while.
<0064>
// My hips and arms seemed to feel heavy, and my throat felt dry.
<0065>
// I look at today's result.
<0066>
// I pulled out all the weeds that were standing out from the rest, and the lawn was half-trimmed.
<0067>
// I put all the garbage in the corner of the garden.
<0068>
// I think it's changed quite a lot from this morning.
<0069>
// But even still, I don't feel that I've achieved anything.
<0070>
// Even though I worked one whole day without rest, the garden was still far off from the perfect image in my memory.
<0071>
// The noise of the insects has returned. It's much louder than yesterday.
<0072> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It couldn't be related to this cut, could it...?"
<0073>
// I cursed without thinking.
<0074>
// I mowed the grass until I was completely exhausted, so it should be the same, even if I left it for many days.
<0075>
// I pierced the sharpened shear into the ground, and wiped the sweat from the back of my neck.
<0076> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "There's still tomorrow... tomorrow..."
<0077>
// Though I cheered myself with a remark, it vanished through the insects' noise.
<0078> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Tomorrow, huh..."
<0079>
// I look at Kotomi's house that was rising to the thin darkness.
<0080>
// The closed living room behind the dark glass looks quiet, as if it's a wall painting.
<0081>
// Even the windows from the second floor didn't have any lights on.
<0082>
// You probably wouldn't be able to walk inside the house because of total darkness.
<0083>
// I look around the surroundings one more time.
<0084>
// The darkness had begun to completely envelop the gaps where the plants once were. *
<0085>
// My wicked thought has started creeping in. *
<0086>
// I once visited this garden frequently when I was little.
<0087>
// Even though I heard Kotomi's story about it, I could only remember a little of it.
<0088>
// My memory was obstructed like a dark red crust clinging on. *
<0089>
// Do I really want to remember?
<0090>
// If I somehow remember, I wonder what will happen?
<0091>
// You can't take back some things.
<0092>
// The kid in me isn't here anymore.
<0093>
// Also, those times when Kotomi was happy aren't here anymore.
<0094>
// I'm all satisfied being alone.
<0095>
// Even if I do something like this, it's all meaningless...
<0096>
// Stop this now
<0097>
// Continue
<0098> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Let's stop this..."
<0099>
// I mutter, and pulled the sharpened shear out of the ground.
<0100>
// There should be a better way to do this.
<0101>
// I head back to my house and think carefully...
<0102>
// It looks like I'm just trying to make excuses for myself; that's what I thought.
<0103>
// I understand the real reason myself.
<0104>
// I'm not good at dealing with this place.
<0105>
// I wonder why I suddenly feel like that?
<0106>
// This garden was supposed to be the best and enjoyable place inside my faint memory.
<0107>
// I rolled up my jacket's sleeves and started putting away the tools.
<0108>
// It was as if being pushed at the back by the thickening darkness...
<0109>
// I went out to the road from the gates.
<0110>
// I look back one more time as I mutter.
<0111> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'll be waiting for you in school, Kotomi."
<0112>
// And then, I began to walk.
<0113>
// I walked at a quick pace as if running away from something.
<0114>
// I probably wouldn't visit Kotomi's garden anymore.
<0115>
// And I understand that.
<0116>
// I shake my head and shook off that feeling.
<0117>
// I should stop thinking unnecessary things for now.
<0118>
// If I accomplished something, surely, something will happen.
<0119>
// But... my premonition is too weak.
<0120>
// I stand still inside the lawn as I gaze up at the darkening sky.
