It's a lively, cheerful commotion. Loud[r] laughter. Giggles rippling through the air.[pcms] *237| [fc] It feels like all my classmates are smiling. Yet, my face isn't[r] forming a smile.[pcms] *238| [fc] I wish I could laugh along with them. If only I could raise my voice[r] and share in the laughter.[pcms] *239| [fc] Even though I think this, it's as if there's a wall of air around me.[pcms] *240| [fc] I understand. I'm the cause of it.[pcms] *241| [fc] The reason I can't laugh and join in with everyone is because of me.[pcms] *242| [fc] I'm aware that I'm shy around people... I'm aware that I'm[r] introverted...[pcms] *243| [fc] But more than that, I feel like my family's circumstances, the[r] situation, is trapping me. It's making me even more timid.[pcms] *244| [fc] My position in the class is different from everyone else's.[pcms] *245| [fc] I don't mean that in an arrogant way. If anything, it's the opposite.[pcms] *246| [fc] Everyone seems happy. At least, that's how they appear to me.[pcms] *247| [fc] But I am unhappy. I can't even smile.[pcms] *248| [fc] There's no way someone like me could enter their circle and laugh.[r] Even if I were allowed in, I feel like I would just take away their[r] laughter.[pcms] *249| [fc] Thinking this way, before being shy or introverted, I just keep my[r] mouth firmly shut. Telling myself it can't be helped.[pcms] *250| [fc] [ns]Male Student A[nse] "Masaka-san..."[pcms] *251| [fc] Huh? What?[pcms] *252| [fc] As someone who rarely gets called by name, I reflexively turned[r] around.[pcms] *253| [fc] [ns]Male Student A[nse] "Hey, do you want to go to the pool together during summer break?"[pcms] *254| [fc] What a straightforward invitation. Honestly, I'm happy. I don't feel[r] bad about being invited.[pcms] *255| [fc] But... but to this person, to my classmates, I'm barely an[r] acquaintance. It must be the same for this person.[pcms] *256| [fc] We've never even spoken until now.[pcms] *257| [fc] No. I don't want to... I don't want to suddenly accept an invitation[r] from someone who "doesn't know" me, someone I've never even talked to[r] before.[pcms] *258| [fc] If they "knew" me, I'm sure they would lose their smile too.[pcms] *259| [fc] If that happened, surely another wall would form around me...[pcms] *260| [fc] [vo_aya s="aya_0007"] [ns]Aya[nse] "...I'm sorry... but could you ask someone else..."[pcms] *261| [fc] As I answered, I tried my best not to look at the face of the person[r] who invited me, diverting my gaze.[pcms] *262| [fc] The sound of silent footsteps walking away can be heard behind me.[pcms] *263| [fc] It's impossible after all. There's no way I can match the happy smiles[r] of my classmates.[pcms] *264| [fc] So this is for the best, right? It's surely better for everyone if I[r] don't interact with anyone. Surely...[pcms] *265| [fc] Ah... what a liar. Deep down, I really want to join everyone's circle.[pcms] *266| [fc] To be accepted by them, to be "known" by them. And still be able to[r] laugh together with everyone...[pcms] *267| [fc] If I took the first step, could it be possible...?[pcms] *268| [fc] Maybe it could be.[pcms] *269| [fc] But, I...[pcms] *270| [fc] [ns]Daisuke[nse] "...phew..."[pcms] *271| [fc] A sigh...?[pcms] *272| [fc] As I was lost in thought, a sigh suddenly caught my ear.[pcms] *273| [fc] Whose...? Without thinking, I turned towards where it came from.[pcms] [ChrSetEx layer=5 chbase="sn_aA06"][ChrSetXY layer=5 x=162 y=0][trans_c cross time=150] *274| [fc] My eyes met with Sendou-kun's. I quickly looked away, but... Could he[r] have seen everything just now?[pcms] *275| [fc] Was he... watching me?[pcms] *276| [fc] What should I do... I wonder if he thinks I'm an unfriendly and[r] unpleasant girl.[pcms] *277| [fc] Sendou-kun isn't a stranger to me. Saeko-san introduced us.[pcms] *278| [fc] Besides, he sometimes greets me. I don't know how to respond properly,[r] so all I can do is bow my head...[pcms] *279| [fc] I really don't want him to think badly of me...[pcms] [ChrSetEx layer=5 chbase="sn_aA01"][ChrSetXY layer=5 x=162 y=0][trans_c cross time=150] *280| [fc] [ns]Daisuke[nse] "Masaka-san..."[pcms] *281| [fc] Sendou-kun spoke to me. What should I do? I wonder if he's going to[r] say something... I timidly turned my face towards Sendou-kun.[pcms] *282| [fc] [ns]Daisuke[nse] "...You're always alone, aren't you?"[pcms] *283| [fc] It was an unexpected remark. Some might think it's none of his[r] business, but I was happy. At the same time, it was very sad to be[r] told that.[pcms] *284| [fc] At least, Sendou-kun was watching me. He knew that I was always alone.[pcms] *285| [fc] But from the perspective of a happy person, that situation must seem[r] lonely. Or maybe he thinks I prefer to be alone.[pcms] *286| [fc] What should I answer? I don't know. What should I say?[pcms] [chara_int][trans_c cross time=150] *287| [fc] Unable to find an answer, I couldn't look into Sendou-kun's eyes and[r] had to look away in silence again.[pcms] *288| [fc] [ns]Daisuke[nse] "..."[pcms] *289| [fc] Sendou-kun fell silent too.[pcms] *290| [fc] I'm sorry. I can't find the words. I don't know what to do in[r] situations like this.[pcms] *291| [fc] Surely now, Sendou-kun must be making a sad face. It's my fault that I[r] made him look like that... I'm sorry.[pcms] *292| [fc] After all, maybe it's better for me not to associate with other[r] people, with those who seem happy. It's lonely and sad, but it can't[r] be helped.[pcms] *293| [fc] I'm sorry, Sendou-kun. Because you got to know someone like me...[pcms] [sysbt_meswin clear] ;[zapend_random] [zapfade] [bg storage="bg01a"][trans_c cross time=500] ;//〆：ザッピングここまで。 [jump storage="A0010_C.ks" target=*A0010_C] ;//----------------------------------------------------------
