HanTsuki:Volume 2 Chapter 2
Thirty minutes before, the hallway was still crowded with yelling patients who are waiting for diagnosis. But now, it is so quiet that one can even hear a needle dropping on the ground. Five thirty-seven in the afternoon--diagnostic time ends. The patient who are here to see the doctor all returned. Benches in tea color are nicely ordered in the empty hallway. On the benches, silent piled up like dust. Even so, this somewhere in this space still keeping the thick traces of human, maybe something like wishes [1]. All kinds of patient, and their family too, came to the hospital. From this long term hospitalization, I started to realize that they have a much more stronger wishes than normal people. They release it unconsciously.
Right, this is normal.
Being ill, is very painful. Though my sickness is not too severe, I had some time when I feel limp for the whole body -- which is a terrible experience, At that time, I can't even move a finger, and I feel so painful. There are no one who can bear this much pain. The pain will seize everything from you, including life and soul.
That residue of the trace is now floating in the air.
"fuu...."
I take a seat in front of the waiting room, where the television lies. At this point of time, no elderly will come to here, therefore, I got the right to change the channel. However, there is a problem. It is now five thirty. Speaking of the programme at five thirty--
The reported in a short jacket was smiling wholeheartedly.
"Today, we are introducing the fishing habour which is one of the greatest trading country-wise in Chiba ken."
The voice is so sharp.
In the background, there is a dude pulling the fishing net.
"Hey, by coincidence, there is a fisherman. Let's interview him."
Next--
A big crowd of kids is surrounding a big brother and a big sister. [2]
The kids are dressing like bees.
"Hey, let's sing with the big brother, shall we? We--- are--"
The big brother and sister are bouncing.
The kids dress like bees are also bouncing.
Next--
A news reporter in gray suit appears.
He [3] bears a serious face.
"--The councilor was arrested because of suspicion on taking bribery. He [4] received 37 millions yen from a construction company of the voting region which included an imported luxurious car --"
How nice, luxurious car.
Is it Benz?
Or is it BMW?
He actually got 37 millions?!
Next--
A row of nearly naked man sits shoulder to shoulder.
Hair wor in bun.
Fundoshi.[5]
The female reporter suddenly appeared beside them.
"It is unusually nutritious to put komatsuna[6] in the mixed hot pot--"
The sumo wrestlers said in a soft voice:
"Yes-!"
Back looking at the female reporter.
"All of you became strong after you start eating it, right?"
"Yes--!"
"Komatsuna gives you infinite power!"
"Yes--"
"Komatsuna!"
"Komatsuna!"
"Yes-!"
"Ko-ma-tsu-na--!!"
sigh, soo boring.
At around five thirty afternoon, we got all these dull programme only. Anyway, I can only turn off the sound, lying on a bench. The ceiling is flashing with the lights from the TV. The colour of pale red, pale blue are dancing. Some may say, if you don't watch the TV, just turn it off. However, a nameless loneliness seizes me when this thought come to me. If so, I rather watch the dancing light on the ceiling.
躺下來，感到身體一陣懶倦。由于第二次被困在屋頂的關系，我的感冒還沒好，現在也有少許熱度。 裏香依然在生氣。 到了這個地步，我真不知道該怎麽道歉才好。 深知自己無顔見她，這幾天，我一直盡量避開她。避開?不，也許說逃走更正確。 啊，我該怎麽做…… 天花板上的光線還在跳躍，電視上，原偶像、現在的節目主持人正對著話筒說些什麽，臉上雖滿面笑容，兩眼卻沒有一絲笑意一一 “喂，在幹什麽啊?” 與此同時，有人探頭過來。
