// May 13 (Tuesday)
<0001>
// The bell rings, beginning lunch break.
<0002>
// \{Ryou} "\m{B}-kun."
<0003>
// Ryou quickly gets up from her seat, and comes in front of mine.
<0004>
// \{\m{B}} "O-oh? What is it?"
<0005>
// \{Ryou} "Let's eat lunch together."
<0006>
// \{\m{B}} "Y-yeah, sure but... I haven't bought any bread from the cafeteria."
<0007>
// \{Ryou} "That's okay."
<0008>
// She smiles as she puts something on the desk.
<0009>
// Clunk... the sound of a lunch box wrapped in a napkin.
<0010>
// \{Ryou} "I've made some lunch."
<0011>
// \{\m{B}} "... Eh?"
<0012>
// \{Ryou} "I made it all by myself, today."
<0013>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0014>
// Hearing those words, I stare at the object on top of my desk.
<0015>
// Ryou's home-made lunch...
<0016>
// All by herself... that means Kyou didn't help her at all... that's what it means, huh...
<0017>
// That means...
<0018>
// \{Ryou} "Would you like to eat in the garden?"
<0019>
// \{\m{B}} "Eh? Ah, hmm..."
<0020>
// \{Ryou} "Let's go."
<0021>
// Before I could answer, she grabs my arm.
<0022>
// The people in the classroom give us various looks as we head through the door.
<0023>
// I wonder if I'll be able to come back safely when lunch's over...
<0024>
// She holds onto my hand as we walk down the hallway.
<0025>
// Each of these steps feels like we're on a trip to hell...
<0026>
// A harsh fate that I can't run away from beckons me...
<0027>
// \{\m{B}} "... Hmm?"
<0028>
// And, I feel something uncomfortable on my hand.
<0029>
// Instead of Ryou's soft and warm hand that I feel, instead it's inorganic or something.
<0030>
// \{\m{B}} "Ryou...?"
<0031>
// \{Ryou} "Yes?"
<0032>
// Screech...
<0033>
// \{Ryou} "Ah..."
<0034>
// \{\m{B}} "... What happened to your hand?"
<0035>
// \{Ryou} "U-umm... this is, uh..."
<0036>
// Her thin and beautiful hand's been wrapped around with bandages.
<0037>
// I didn't see it yesterday, though.
<0038>
// \{Ryou} "Ah... ah~... I-I'll, go buy something to drink."
<0039>
// \{Ryou} "P-please hold this as I go on ahead to get some!"
<0040>
// \{\m{B}} "Ah, hey?!"
<0041>
// She pushes the lunch box into my chest, and runs towards the cafeteria.
<0042>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0043>
// I stare at the lunch box she gave me.
<0044>
// For now... I guess I'll head off to the front garden...
<0045>
// \{\m{B}} "This area looks good."
<0046>
// I go to a good place on the bench by the stone wall, and put down the lunch box.
<0047>
// I rub my stomach while looking at the flower-patterned napkin wrapping.
<0048>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0049>
// I haven't really prepared myself...
<0050>
// I apologize to my stomach, waiting for Ryou.
<0051>
// Rustle, rustle, rustle...
<0052>
// \{\m{B}} "Hmm...?"
<0053>
// Something's moving in the bushes...?
<0054>
// Rustle, rustle... rustle...
<0055>
// ... Rustle...
<0056>
// \{Botan} "Puhi!"
<0057>
// \{\m{B}} "Botan?"
<0058>
// \{Botan} "Puhi~ puhi~"
<0059>
// \{\m{B}} "Been a while. You came to see Kyou again?"
<0060>
// \{Botan} "Puhihi~"
<0061>
// Sniff, sniff... sniff, sniff...
<0062>
// \{\m{B}} "Hmm? You hungry?"
<0063>
// \{Botan} "Puhi~"
<0064>
// \{\m{B}} "But, you shouldn't take this, though."
<0065>
// \{\m{B}} "You'll lie down again."
<0066>
// \{Botan} "Puhi?"
<0067>
// \{\m{B}} "Oh man... I don't have anything to give you to eat..."
<0068>
// Snap...
<0069>
// The small sound of a twig breaking.
<0070>
// \{\m{B}} "Hmm?"
<0071>
// \{Kyou} "Ah..."
<0072>
// Lifting my head, she was there.
<0073>
// I felt a strong thump in my chest.
<0074>
// \{Kyou} "Yo."
<0075>
// Kyou raises her hand and... gives her usual smile as always, with that voice.
<0076>
// \{\m{B}} "Yo."
<0077>
// That's why I also return a usual answer.
<0078>
// \{Kyou} "It's lunch right now, isn't it?"
<0079>
// \{\m{B}} "Well, yeah."
<0080>
// \{Kyou} "Where's Ryou?"
<0081>
// \{\m{B}} "She went to buy some drinks."
<0082>
// \{Kyou} "Hmm, is that so."
<0083>
// Kyou nods and sees the lunch box beside me.
<0084>
// \{Kyou} "Ah, that's..."
<0085>
// \{\m{B}} "Hmm? This? It's Ryou's home-made lunch."
<0086>
// \{Kyou} "Ah, yeah. This morning was amazing."
<0087>
// \{\m{B}} "I see..."
<0088>
// \{Kyou} "She's really doing a lot, isn't she?"
<0089>
// \{Kyou} "So don't leave anything behind when you eat, okay?"
<0090>
// \{\m{B}} "... I'll probably be in the nurse's office after lunch."
<0091>
// \{Kyou} "Even if that happens, you have to eat everything."
<0092>
// \{Kyou} "You're her boyfriend, after all."
<0093>
// Slice...
<0094>
// I'm certain my chest felt pain.
<0095>
// As if a sharp needle pierced my heart, and the insides of my chest died.... that kind of pain.
<0096>
// \{Botan} "Puhi~ puhihi~"
<0097>
// \{Kyou} "Hmm? Eh, Botan? Why'd you come to school again?"
<0098>
// \{\m{B}} "He looks kinda hungry."
<0099>
// \{Kyou} "Ah, is that so?"
<0100>
// \{Botan} "Puhihi~"
<0101>
// \{Kyou} "Then it can't be helped. I'll go buy some bread from the cafeteria."
<0102>
// \{Botan} "Puhi~ puhi~"
<0103>
// \{Kyou} "Come on, over here."
<0104>
// \{Botan} "Puhi~"
<0105>
// Kicking the ground with his small feet, Botan jumps into Kyou's chest.
<0106>
// \{Kyou} "Later then."
<0107>
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."
<0108>
// Kyou holds onto Botan and brings him to the school.
<0109>
// And, Ryou comes running from the same direction.
<0110>
// With her is a pack of drinks.
<0111>
// And then the two pass by each other.
<0112>
// \{\m{B}} "...?"
<0113>
// And then a bad memory comes to mind.
<0114>
// It's like they pass by each other, as though they're strangers.
<0115>
// Doing that, the two loving sisters don't stop, wave a hand or even greet each other.
<0116>
// \{Ryou} "Sorry to keep you waiting."
<0117>
// \{Ryou} "Will you be alright with barley tea?"
<0118>
// Ryou comes to my side and says that.
<0119>
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, thank you."
<0120>
// \{Ryou} "Not at all, it's my pleasure."
<0121>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0122>
// \{Ryou} "...? Is something wrong?"
<0123>
// \{\m{B}} "... Did you get into a fight or something?"
<0124>
// \{Ryou} "A fight? With whom?"
<0125>
// \{\m{B}} "You and Kyou."
<0126>
// \{Ryou} "No, we haven't?"
<0127>
// \{\m{B}} "Even though just now, you only noticed each other yet didn't look?"
<0128>
// \{Ryou} "Ah, that? That's because my sister was holding Botan."
<0129>
// \{Ryou} "He'd be scared if we strangely stopped like that."
<0130>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0131>
// For some reason, I can't really buy that...
<0132>
// \{Ryou} "Besides that, let's eat lunch."
<0133>
// \{\m{B}} "Hmm? Y-yeah."
<0134>
// Ryou opens the lunch box, sitting down on the bench by the stone wall.
<0135>
// \{Ryou} "Here you go."
<0136>
// She gives me a single lunch box.
<0137>
// \{\m{B}} "...?"
<0138>
// My eyes look outside the box's contents.
<0139>
// They fall upon the hands wrapped in bandages, that are holding the lunch box.
<0140>
// \{\m{B}} "What happened... to your hand?"
<0141>
// \{Ryou} "Eh? Ah... wawa... t-this is... um... um.."
<0142>
// She really wanted to hide her hands, but couldn't because she was holding onto the lunch.
<0143>
// She looks at me with a face, unable to calm down as she swings the box back and forth.
<0144>
// \{\m{B}} "... Perhaps... this happened when you made this...?"
<0145>
// \{Ryou} "~~~..."
<0146>
// She hangs her head, blushing.
<0147>
// I'm right on the money.
<0148>
// \{Ryou} "Uh, umm, but I think today, it should be quite delicious."
<0149>
// \{Ryou} "M-my finger might have gotten into a bit of a problem, but I've already tried tasting this."
<0150>
// \{Ryou} "Uh... um... so... uh... oo..."
<0151>
// Yoink...
<0152>
// \{Ryou} "Ah..."
<0153>
// I pick up one of the fried eggs from inside the lunch box with my hands...
<0154>
// Chomp...
<0155>
// And throw it in my mouth.
<0156>
// Munch, munch... munch, munch...
<0157>
// \{Ryou} "Ah... \m{B}... kun?"
<0158>
// Gulp...
<0159>
// \{\m{B}} "Not bad."
<0160>
// \{Ryou} "Eh...?"
<0161>
// \{\m{B}} "Pass me the lunch box."*
<0162>
// \{Ryou} "Ah... o-okay."
<0163>
// \{\m{B}} "The chopsticks, too."
<0164>
// \{Ryou} "Ah, h-here."
<0165>
// \{\m{B}} "Thank you."
<0166>
// Pick pick, pick pick...
<0167>
// \{Ryou} "........."
<0168>
// Pick pick, pick pick...
<0169>
// \{Ryou} "........."
<0170>
// Pick...
<0171>
// \{\m{B}} "What's wrong? You don't want to eat?"
<0172>
// \{Ryou} "Eh? Ah... um... well..."
<0173>
// \{\m{B}} "I don't think you need to be on a diet, but if you want to, I'll take the other box too."
<0174>
// \{\m{B}} "I don't think I could really leave anything behind with such a delicious lunch."
<0175>
// It isn't really flattering at all, the lunch really is good.
<0176>
// From the start, Ryou's cooking was terrible, but to improve her ability this much shows great effort.
<0177>
// A lunchbox she made, despite hurting her fingers.
<0178>
// And this lunch, by chance, was made for me.
<0179>
// There's no way this couldn't be good.
<0180>
// \{Ryou} "I'm glad! I'm so happy you say it's good!"
<0181>
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, it really is delicious."
<0182>
// \{Ryou} "If you don't mind, you can eat my share as well."
<0183>
// \{\m{B}} "If you say that, I'll really eat it."
<0184>
// \{Ryou} "Sure."
<0185>
// Ryou really is happy, nodding with a smile.
<0186>
// The bell rings, ending lunch break.
<0187>
// Ryou and I walk together to the classroom.
<0188>
// \{Female Student} "Ah, Fujibayashi-san!"
<0189>
// \{Ryou} "Yes?"
<0190>
// She abruptly stops, being called.
<0191>
// The one who called us... was a girl from another class.
<0192>
// \{Female Student} "Ah, I'd like you to give this to Kyou-chan."
<0193>
// \{Ryou} "A... dictionary?"
<0194>
// \{Female Student} "Yeah, I borrowed it and wanted to return it to her."
<0195>
// \{Ryou} "Umm... but something like this... couldn't you give it to her yourself...?"
<0196>
// \{Female Student} "I wanted to, but Kyou-chan had to leave early."
<0197>
// \{Ryou} "Eh...? Is that so?"
<0198>
// \{Female Student} "I don't really need to prepare for classes tomorrow, so I thought I might give this back today."
<0199>
// \{Ryou} "Is that so..."
<0200>
// \{Ryou} "Okay then. If it's like that, I'll give it to onee-chan."
<0201>
// \{Female Student} "Yup, please do."
<0202>
// After giving Ryou the dictionary, the female student returns to her class.
<0203>
// She's one of Kyou's classmates, isn't she?
<0204>
// \{\m{B}} "... Kyou had to leave early...?"
<0205>
// \{Ryou} "I wonder what's wrong...? Maybe she isn't feeling well..."
<0206>
// \{\m{B}} "I thought she was fine during lunch..."
<0207>
// \{\m{B}} "Maybe she had to go back home with Botan."
<0208>
// \{Ryou} "Probably?"
<0209>
// We both lean our heads, as we look at the dictionary in Ryou's hands.
<0210>
// And then, during afternoon classes--...
<0211>
// Those two lunches really filled me up...
<0212>
// I couldn't shake off the sleepiness, so at the same time lessons started, I let myself fall into darkness.
<0213>
// Tap--...
<0214>
// I wake up on the desk, stirred by some unknown cause.
<0215>
// I look around me, and confirm that no one's looking at my foolishness.
<0216>
// There didn't seem to be anyone in particular doing so.
<0217>
// I rest on my chin and sigh.
<0218>
// Looking outside, the weather had become terrible.
<0219>
// Even now, it looks like it's going to rain.
<0220>
// It's not pleasant...
<0221>
// That's what I thought.
<0222>
// Drip... drip, drip... drip, drip, drip...
<0223>
// Holding on to those thoughts, the sounds reach my ears...
<0224>
// And then the smell of water...
<0225>
// It's raining...
<0226>
// \{\m{B}} "... Tch..."
<0227>
// I sigh at the rain falling on the window.
<0228>
// I... don't have an umbrella...
<0229>
// Looking at the cloudy skies was annoying, so I change my glance--...
<0230>
// \{\m{B}} ".........?"
<0231>
// Something was moving outside the school.
<0232>
// My head, still tired from waking up, focuses on that spot.
<0233>
// A round shape...
<0234>
// Bulky and with a striped pattern...
<0235>
// \{\m{B}} "... Botan...?"
<0236>
// The kid boar I remembered was in front of the school as the rain began.
<0237>
// Maybe he's waiting for Kyou...
<0238>
// No... they were together during lunch...
<0239>
// Botan was looking up my way in the rain.
<0240>
// Or rather, he knew that I was here.
<0241>
// Staring over here...
<0242>
// My face slowly begins to wake up.
<0243>
// And at the same time, I begin to feel uneasy.
<0244>
// Certainly... Kyou did have to leave early, didn't she...?
<0245>
// If that's so, Botan should have gone with her.
<0246>
// There's no way she'd leave him alone.
<0247>
// I couldn't think of Kyou letting go of Botan.
<0248>
// But Botan's there...
<0249>
// Then... where's Kyou?
<0250>
// Clatter!
<0251>
// I stand up without thinking.
<0252>
// \{Teacher} "What's wrong, \m{A}?"
<0253>
// \{\m{B}} "Ah..."
<0254>
// The class' glance comes upon me.
<0255>
// \{\m{B}} "I have to go to the washroom for a moment."
<0256>
// \{Teacher} "I see. Then please be a bit more quiet."
<0257>
// \{\m{B}} "Sorry about that."
<0258>
// I make a quick pace for the door.
<0259>
// I pass by Ryou's seat on the way.
<0260>
// Though she has a worried face, I wave my hand slightly to motion that I'm okay.
<0261>
// I dunno if that got through, but I left the class anyway.
<0262>
// And run down the hallway.
<0263>
// I leave the school in my indoor shoes.
<0264>
// Botan runs to me.
<0265>
// \{Botan} "Puhi~"
<0266>
// \{\m{B}} "Botan, what happened to Kyou?"
<0267>
// \{Botan} "Puhi, puhihi~"
<0268>
// \{\m{B}} "She's not with you?"
<0269>
// \{Botan} "Puhi, puhi puhi, puhi!"
<0270>
// \{\m{B}} "She didn't go back with you?"
<0271>
// \{Botan} "Puhihi~"
<0272>
// \{\m{B}} "Don't give me a puhi!"
<0273>
// Tug, tug...
<0274>
// With his small body, Botan began tugging on my pants.
<0275>
// Is he telling me to... come?
<0276>
// \{Botan} "Puhi~ puhi~!"
<0277>
// Tug, tug...
<0278>
// \{\m{B}} "--... Lead the way!"
<0279>
// \{Botan} "Puhi~!"
<0280>
// I don't even know whether we are communicating properly.
<0281>
// But Botan lets go of my pants, and runs to another part of the school.
<0282>
// No matter where I look, the ground became wet from the rain.
<0283>
// I still run, despite that.
<0284>
// I run mindlessly in the rain, jumping over the puddles.
<0285>
// Kyou should be around here.
<0286>
// I felt hope and anxiety... confidence and doubt... and uneasiness...
<0287>
// These mixed feelings pile up as I continue to kick them into the ground.
<0288>
// When I get there, I was completely soaked and dripping from head to toe.
<0289>
// The lively greenery where no one's around...
<0290>
// The atmosphere pounded on by the heavy rain...
<0291>
// There she stood.
<0292>
// As if waiting for someone...
<0293>
// As if rejecting someone...
<0294>
// \{\m{B}} "... Kyou..."
<0295>
// \{Kyou} "........."
<0296>
// The rain continues to fall, the sound of the drops burying themselves in the ground...
<0297>
// I take a step to approach her.
<0298>
// Splash... the small sound of the rain.
<0299>
// \{Kyou} "Don't come...!"
<0300>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0301>
// \{Kyou} "Don't come... any closer..."
<0302>
// \{Kyou} "... I'm... begging you..."
<0303>
// I... could only stop myself...
<0304>
// In the sound of the rain, her small voice was washed away...
<0305>
// Yet somehow my chest was stabbed... I could clearly hear her voice in my head as it echoes...
<0306>
// My soaked clothes begin to worsen, clinging onto my skin.
<0307>
// As drops fell onto my body, I shivered at the same time, feeling the coldness of it all.
<0308>
// I'm sure... Kyou feels the same...
<0309>
// It's spring, and it's still May.
<0310>
// Becoming soaked like this is painful...
<0311>
// If the rain would at least go away from this place...
<0312>
// Not able to take in the silence anymore, I move my legs again.
<0313>
// And, at that moment, Kyou quickly opens her mouth.
<0314>
// \{Kyou} "... Why--... did you come here...?"
<0315>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0316>
// \{Kyou} "School... isn't over yet..."
<0317>
// \{\m{B}} "... I saw Botan from inside class..."
<0318>
// \{\m{B}} "I thought it strange, since I heard you left school early..."
<0319>
// \{Kyou} "... I told you... not to worry about me..."
<0320>
// \{\m{B}} "Don't say such crap..."
<0321>
// \{Kyou} "... I told you... it's better to think about your girlfriend... about Ryou..."
<0322>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0323>
// \{Kyou} "I told you to... leave me alone..."
<0324>
// \{\m{B}} "... You think I can..."
<0325>
// \{Kyou} "... You have to leave me alone...!"
<0326>
// At that moment, her tone became rough.
<0327>
// \{Kyou} "I'm... her older sister..."
<0328>
// \{Kyou} "We're twins..."
<0329>
// \{Kyou} "You definitely... cannot become concerned with me..."
<0330>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0331>
// \{Kyou} "And obviously... I cannot be concerned with you..."
<0332>
// \{Kyou} "Even though I thought I... fully understood this already..."
<0333>
// She grips onto her arm tightly, trying to bear it...
<0334>
// Her white fingers, her soaked uniform, I know how strongly she's been putting up with this...
<0335>
// I lose my words at this sight in front of me.
<0336>
// \{Kyou} "Seeing you guys get along so well... was painful..."
<0337>
// What should I say... what should I do...
<0338>
// \{Kyou} "The two of you being 'lovers' was painful..."
<0339>
// Just being there, as if paralyzed...
<0340>
// \{Kyou} "I'm such a terrible girl... telling you to go out with her..."
<0341>
// The only thing I could do is watch Kyou, soaked from the rain...
<0342>
// \{Kyou} "Ryou... told me that she kissed you..."
<0343>
// \{Kyou} "And she helped me, and said, 'Thank you, onee-chan'..."
<0344>
// \{Kyou} "In the beginning, I smiled hearing that. I told Ryou I was glad for her."
<0345>
// \{Kyou} "But as soon as I went to my room, my chest felt tight... and painful..."
<0346>
// Her shoulders shivered... holding onto them with her hands...
<0347>
// \{Kyou} "See, the day before yesterday..."
<0348>
// \{Kyou} "... When I saw you guys..."
<0349>
// Slice... I could certainly feel the pain in my chest...
<0350>
// At that moment, I completely forgot about the feeling of the rain.
<0351>
// Everything in my head, my body... my mind went completely white.
<0352>
// \{Kyou} "It shouldn't be strange at all... should it..."
<0353>
// \{Kyou} "Since you guys are going out... something like that... is the right thing to do..."
<0354>
// \{Kyou} "That wasn't... your first time... at all... was it..."
<0355>
// And my chest strongly tightens...
<0356>
// \{Kyou} "But... when I realized it, I started to cry..."
<0357>
// \{Kyou} "I couldn't stop myself..."
<0358>
// \{Kyou} "I couldn't stop it, no matter how many times, how many times I told myself..."
<0359>
// \{Kyou} "I... can't see you guys... normally anymore..."
<0360>
// \{Kyou} "Even today at lunch... when you guys were there, it was like that day..."
<0361>
// She keeps saying those words, building them up and spreading out this bitter atmosphere...
<0362>
// \{Kyou} "Thinking that, I couldn't be in school anymore..."
<0363>
// \{Kyou} "... It's too late..."
<0364>
// \{Kyou} "... To realize that... it was deceiving..."
<0365>
// Too late...
<0366>
// Who is she talking about...?
<0367>
// Is it really... only Kyou that she's talking about...
<0368>
// Over these few days...
<0369>
// Being with Ryou felt awkward and miserable...
<0370>
// ... And doubtful...
<0371>
// \{Kyou} "... I was scared..."
<0372>
// \{Kyou} "I was scared of confessing..."
<0373>
// \{Kyou} "If--... I confessed... and were rejected, we couldn't talk together as friends anymore..."
<0374>
// \{Kyou} "... When I thought about never being able to be by your side anymore..."
<0375>
// \{Kyou} "Then, just staying as friends like this forever is fine..."
<0376>
// \{Kyou} "It wouldn't be painful like that... is what I thought..."
<0377>
// \{Kyou} "That's why I kept in my feelings..."
<0378>
// \{Kyou} "... I regret it..."
<0379>
// \{Kyou} "Ahaha... I'm an idiot, aren't I..."
<0380>
// \{Kyou} "Even though I decided this myself... even though I chose this path myself--... I can only feel regret now..."
<0381>
// Hurting herself like this... spreading out this small pain like this... this can't...
<0382>
// What a... sorrowful smile...
<0383>
// It felt like something important broke.
<0384>
// Like a small crack opened up...
<0385>
// And slowly and slowly, the surface begins to crumble...
<0386>
// And facing it you could only see pitch blackness, like looking deep within a water well...
<0387>
// Like breathing in all the sadness and regret...
<0388>
// \{Kyou} "I'm... so cruel..."
<0389>
// \{Kyou} "While getting you and Ryou close together..."
<0390>
// \{Kyou} "While telling Ryou to give it her best..."
<0391>
// \{Kyou} "I was secretly and sincerely wishes for her to fail...!"
<0392>
// \{Kyou} "My regret at not even getting rejected..."
<0393>
// \{Kyou} "...Fills my thoughts while helping her!!"
<0394>
// ... You're wrong...
<0395>
// Who's really cruel here...?
<0396>
// I was the one looking at someone else through Ryou...
<0397>
// \{Kyou} "I... hate myself!!"
<0398>
// \{Kyou} "Even while helping other, I could only think of myself..."
<0399>
// \{Kyou} "Not wanting to hurt myself, yet wanting to hurt others..."
<0400>
// \{Kyou} "I hate that about myself!!"
<0401>
// Only time continued to push forward...
<0402>
// I should have realized that the one who was constantly hurting others blidly was...
<0403>
// That the one who was the worst coward was...
<0404>
// \{\m{B}} "Kyou...!"
<0405>
// \{Kyou} "--...!"
<0406>
// Was I right in doing this...?
<0407>
// The one who should be blamed... is me, shouldn't it...?
<0408>
// Instead of thinking about it in my head...
<0409>
// Instead of expressing it with words...
<0410>
// I could only hold this stance here.
<0411>
// Even though doing this would be betraying Ryou...
<0412>
// I'd regret doing nothing this moment...
<0413>
// I couldn't... turn my back on my own feelings any longer...
<0414>
// \{Kyou} "W... hy...?"
<0415>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0416>
// \{Kyou} "Do you... know what... you're doing...?"
<0417>
// \{\m{B}} "You know... what will happen, don't you..."
<0418>
// \{Kyou} "........."
<0419>
// The rain drops from the sky, soaking through our clothes.
<0420>
// Our cold bodies...
<0421>
// Like a hand of ice grabbing ahold of my heart, the rain pours down my back...
<0422>
// But...
<0423>
// But I could feel the warmth spread out inside my arms.
<0424>
// A tender warmth slowly cures the cold areas...
<0425>
// A large sense of presence and relief... the small breaths reverberating in our chests...
<0426>
// Yeah... right now, we were this close...
<0427>
// \{Kyou} "I had decided... to forget trying at all..."
<0428>
// \{Kyou} "But..."
<0429>
// \{Kyou} "You're... kind to me..."
<0430>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0431>
// \{Kyou} "It's cruel..."
<0432>
// \{Kyou} "I should have coldly pushed you away..."
<0433>
// I tighten my arms around her.
<0434>
// \{Kyou} "I should never have known this..."
<0435>
// \{Kyou} "... I should never have known... how warm this was..."
<0436>
// Not pulling my arms off... not embracing them...
<0437>
// Just, trying to bear something, she grabs onto them...
<0438>
// \{Kyou} "... I'm sorry..."
<0439>
// \{\m{B}} "... Eh?"
<0440>
// \{Kyou} "... I'm sorry... I... like you..."
<0441>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0442>
// \{Kyou} "That's why... don't be kind to me..."
<0443>
// \{Kyou} "I'm an... idiot, see... if you're nice to me, I'll misunderstand you..."
<0444>
// \{Kyou} "If you... keep on being this nice to me... I won't be able to take it any longer..."
<0445>
// \{\m{B}} "I--... about you, I--..."
<0446>
// \{Kyou} "\m{B}...!"
<0447>
// Kyou's sharp voice before I say any words.
<0448>
// Just by those words, my mouth remained shut, looking at her.
<0449>
// \{Kyou} "\m{B}..."
<0450>
// \{Kyou} "I'm... Fujibayashi Kyou."
<0451>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0452>
// \{Kyou} "I'm not Fujibayashi Ryou..."
<0453>
// \{\m{B}} "--..."
<0454>
// Something ran through my body, hearing that name.
<0455>
// It felt like being slammed back to Earth from Heaven--
<0456>
// The pain and heat storm through me, as if my blood boils, yet somehow it felt cold...
<0457>
// \{Kyou} "........."
<0458>
// My arms slowly unfasten...
<0459>
// The warmth disappears...
<0460>
// I didn't feel the cold from the rain at all.
<0461>
// Not just my body, but my heart...
<0462>
// Everything in me had frozen up... in the cold, cold drops...
<0463>
// Facing me with her back, Kyou closes her eyes once.
<0464>
// And doing that, she says with a small voice, smiling.
<0465>
// \{Kyou} "Bye, bye..."
<0466>
// I--... couldn't say anything.
<0467>
// Even though I wanted to say something.
<0468>
// Even though I wanted my voice to come out...
<0469>
// Everything got stuck in my throat...
<0470>
// Even though my whole body was soaked, I could only feel my dried-up throat.
<0471>
// My legs froze themselves to the ground, not moving at all.
<0472>
// I couldn't even move my eyes towards her back as she walked far away.
<0473>
// Botan alternates glances between me and Kyou.
<0474>
// After a while, he chases off after her.
<0475>
// The moment she disappeared from my field of vision...
<0476>
// \{\m{B}} "... Kyou..."
<0477>
// Finally, one word comes out of my throat...
<0478>
// Always hearing... the sound of the rain, the pain continued to echo...
<0479>
// The soaked uniform...
<0480>
// I imagine the weight I'm feeling right now... is like a criminal that's been shackled...
<0481>
// I return to school to retrieve my bag.
<0482>
// Lessons had already ended, and there were few students left.
<0483>
// Moreso... no one wanted to look at my soaked figure.
<0484>
// Leaving behind a trail of water in the hallway, I enter the classroom.
<0485>
// \{Ryou} "Ah..."
<0486>
// \{\m{B}} "... Ryou..."
<0487>
// The... one person I don't want to meet right now...
<0488>
// No, actually... she was... always waiting for me, for sure.
<0489>
// \{Ryou} "\m{B}-kun..."
<0490>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0491>
// I didn't see her face at all.
<0492>
// Realizing my feeling clearly now, seeing her face would be painful...
<0493>
// \{Ryou} "........."
<0494>
// Saying nothing, Ryou walks towards me.
<0495>
// Stop it...
<0496>
// Don't get near me...
<0497>
// The me right now... can't say anything...
<0498>
// Surely... I wanted to say something, but I didn't want to hurt her feelings...
<0499>
// Grip...
<0500>
// She embraces me...
<0501>
// Pushing the wet clothes against me, the shivers run along my skin.
<0502>
// But, soon it became warm...
<0503>
// Ryou embraces my cold body with her warmth...
<0504>
// \{\m{B}} "Let me go..."
<0505>
// \{Ryou} "........."
<0506>
// Holding me, she shakes her head.
<0507>
// \{\m{B}} "I'm wet..."
<0508>
// She shakes her head...
<0509>
// \{\m{B}} "I--..."
<0510>
// -- am not qualified to be held by you like this...
<0511>
// That's what I wanted to say, but the words wouldn't come.
<0512>
// Something hot stopped my lips...
<0513>
// I realize that Ryou's lips had touched mine at that moment.
<0514>
// My heart's in pain, striking against my chest.
<0515>
// Turning my face away... at that moment, Ryou pulls away her lips back quickly.
<0516>
// \{\m{B}} "Ryou..."
<0517>
// \{Ryou} "........."
<0518>
// \{Ryou} "... I'm... your girlfriend, \m{B}-kun..."
<0519>
// The pain... sliced into my chest...
<0520>
// \{Ryou} "I like you, \m{B}-kun..."
<0521>
// \{Ryou} "So... please don't suffer alone..."
<0522>
// \{Ryou} "When you can't stand... please lean on me..."
<0523>
// \{Ryou} "I'll... do my best to support you."
<0524>
// \{Ryou} "When you want to cry, please don't hold back, please hold onto me."
<0525>
// \{Ryou} "I'll hold you so no one hears it."
<0526>
// \{Ryou} "I'll always be with you when you're lonely."
<0527>
// \{Ryou} "You're... not alone, \m{B}-kun..."
<0528>
// \{Ryou} "I'm here..."
<0529>
// Yeah... I couldn't say anything...
<0530>
// I couldn't return the warm words that this girl had spoken...
<0531>
// And... I didn't do anything...
<0532>
// Even though she's embracing me, I didn't embrace her back...
<0533>
// I could only hear the painful pulse of my chest...
<0534>
// The tears flow out...
<0535>
// Ryou... somehow knew, didn't she...?
<0536>
// Unconsciously knowing how I felt...
<0537>
// If, I continued to drown myself in this warmth...
<0538>
// I'd... \pbe the worst...だ…。
<0539>
// Slam...
<0540>
// \{Ryou} "Ah..."
<0541>
// I move my body freely...
<0542>
// I--... \ppush away Ryou.
<0543>
// \{Ryou} "\m{B}... kun...?"
<0544>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0545>
// \{\m{B}} "... I'm sorry..."
<0546>
// I spin off bitter words as I look down at the ground.
<0547>
// \{\m{B}} "There's... someone that I like."
<0548>
// \{\m{B}} "You probably... haven't noticed up until now..."
<0549>
// \{\m{B}} "... But..."
<0550>
// I say those cruel things.
<0551>
// \{\m{B}} "Realizing that... I couldn't deceive myself anymore..."
<0552>
// I knew they were cruel, but I couldn't stop my words...
<0553>
// \{\m{B}} "I can't... think of... being together with you any longer..."
<0554>
// \{Ryou} "Is it... onee-chan...?"
<0555>
// Slam... the hallucination of being hit by something.
<0556>
// Opening my eyes, in front of me-- I saw Ryou.
<0557>
// \{Ryou} "The person you like is onee-chan... isn't it... \m{B}-kun..."
<0558>
// \{\m{B}} "... ~..."
<0559>
// I bite my lips... nodding silently.
<0560>
// She already noticed...
<0561>
// It couldn't be helped that I remained quiet...
<0562>
// \{Ryou} "I'm... no good...?"
<0563>
// But... I couldn't lift up my head...
<0564>
// \{Ryou} "I can't be like... my sister...?"
<0565>
// \{Ryou} "Because I'm trying to be more like her..."
<0566>
// I don't see her face...
<0567>
// \{Ryou} "I'll lengthen my hair."
<0568>
// \{Ryou} "And be more positive, like her."
<0569>
// \{Ryou} "And study a lot of cooking."
<0570>
// \{Ryou} "If that's not enough, please tell me."
<0571>
// \{Ryou} "I'm... trying my best..."
<0572>
// \{Ryou} "So I can be the girl you want, \m{B}-kun..."
<0573>
// \{Ryou} "... I... like you..."
<0574>
// \{Ryou} "I like you... \m{B}-kun..."
<0575>
// \{Ryou} "Please... be with me..."
<0576>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0577>
// My lowered head drops down further.
<0578>
// \{\m{B}} "Sorry..."
<0579>
// Those were the only words that came to mind.
<0580>
// \{Ryou} "\m{B}-kun..."
<0581>
// Even now, that tearful voice I hear hurts me.
<0582>
// \{Ryou} "--......"
<0583>
// Ryou runs away from me.
<0584>
// I hear the strong noise of the door closing.
<0585>
// It's like an illusion, where I've been slapped hard across the face.
<0586>
// I stand alone in the classroom.
<0587>
// The sound of the rain hurts my ears.
<0588>
// I sigh...
<0589>
// Heavily... deeply...
<0590>
// \{\m{B}} "... I wonder if this is okay..."
<0591>
// I murmur, letting myself hear that.
<0592>
// And, I wonder how lonely I'll be, living like this.
<0593>
// After that, Ryou and I never exchanged words.
<0594>
// Even Kyou kept her distance from me.
<0595>
// Our eyes never meet when we walk down the hallway, as if we're strangers...
<0596>
// From the beginning, I felt as if my chest felt tight every time.
<0597>
// But one month passed, two months passed...
<0598>
// Summer ends, autumn passes, and by the time the sound of winter comes.
<0599>
// I could no longer feel the bitter feelings in my heart anymore.
