On the way home from school, Makoto, Kozue, and I walk side by side.[r]
It's about a thirty-minute distance. On the way back, it usually[r]
becomes Makoto's fun time.[pcms]

Despite their bickering, the two of them are close. Well, they've[r]
known each other since they were little because they're from the same[r]
neighborhood. They've become even closer since attending the same[r]
school.[pcms]

*448|
[fc]
In neighborhood gatherings and such, Makoto is the energetic type who[r]
leads everyone, while Kozue would participate hiding in the corner[r]
behind my shadow.[pcms]

*449|
[fc]
Since they were little, Makoto has been paying attention to Kozue, not[r]
as frequently as now, but in much the same way.[pcms]

*450|
[fc]
Probably, their relationship will never change unless one of them[r]
grows up and leaves town. But even if they come back for a visit,[r]
things would likely return to how they were.[pcms]

When Makoto lets go of her hair, Kozue hurriedly starts fixing her[r]
hair ornament. It's the kind that tightens at the base to hold the[r]
hair together. Meanwhile, Makoto casually takes Kozue's bag.[pcms]

As Makoto returns the bag to Kozue while asking her, I realize that[r]
Kozue does seem to always tie her hair with the same ornament every[r]
day. I wonder since when...[pcms]

Saying that, Kozue glanced at me for a moment.[pcms]

Should I say something here? But nothing appropriate came to mind.[pcms]

Really, they never tire of playing around with each other every day.[r]
Well, since it's just playful banter between girls, I can watch[r]
without worry even if I say I'm tired of it.[pcms]

*470|
[fc]
...Masaka-san. I wonder about her...[pcms]

*471|
[fc]
I've hardly ever seen her talking happily with anyone in school, not[r]
just boys but girls too. Even if we leave out 'happily,' still.[pcms]

*472|
[fc]
During breaks she reads alone or listens to music quietly. She eats[r]
her lunch alone at her desk too.[pcms]

*473|
[fc]
Most of her school life is spent alone at her desk.[pcms]

*474|
[fc]
It's not like I observe her every day, but whenever I happen to look[r]
her way she's always alone.[pcms]

*475|
[fc]
Doesn't she feel lonely...?[pcms]

*476|
[fc]
It's rare to hear her speak. Today was an exception but usually she[r]
doesn't utter a word outside of class.[pcms]

*477|
[fc]
If you greet her she'll bow her head but she doesn't respond with[r]
words.[pcms]

*478|
[fc]
I've seen her talking with Saeko-san but what they're saying is in[r]
such a quiet voice that I can't make it out.[pcms]

*479|
[fc]
Indeed, as Makoto says, she might be too passive.[pcms]

*480|
[fc]
But, even if she only bows her head, she does respond when greeted, so[r]
it's not like she's avoiding me.[pcms]

*481|
[fc]
Then, maybe if I persistently try to talk to her, eventually we might[r]
be able to have a conversation?[pcms]

*482|
[fc]
Since we've met, it would be a waste not to become friends.[pcms]

*483|
[fc]
Well, at first, I might get the same kind of response as the blunder[r]
today.[pcms]

*484|
[fc]
But if I don't get discouraged and keep talking to her...[pcms]
