<0027> \{Voice}「Sigh...」
<0028> A different breath from mine, small and more gentle than my own.
<0029> I look beside me.
<0030> And there was a girl, standing still like me.
<0031> I can tell that she`s a third year student from the color of her badge.
<0032> But she wasn`t someone I was familiar with.
<0033> The short hair she has stretches down to her shoulders, fluttering in the wind.
<0034> \{Girl}「.........」
<0035> It looks like she`s about to cry.
<0036> I don`t usually judge people, but she seems quite honest...
<0037> She looks like the type that would have a problem going into class alone.
<0038> \{Girl}「Okay...」
<0039> As if she has something to tell herself, she closes her eyes and nods repeatedly for a few moments.
<0040> \{Girl}「.........」
<0041> Then, she opens her eyes.
<0042> Firmly, she looks upon the tall school gate.
<0043> \{Girl}「Do you like this school?」
<0044> \{\m{B}}「Huh...?」
<0045> No, she wasn`t asking me.
<0046> She was asking someone in her mind.
<0047> I wonder how that guy (or girl) responded.
<0048> \{Girl}「I really, really do.」
<0049> \{Girl}「But, nothing... can remain the same.」
<0050> \{Girl}「Even fun things and happy things.」
<0051> \{Girl}「Nothing stays that way forever.」
<0052> With great difficulty, she continues to speak.
<0053> \{Girl}「Even then, can you still bring yourself to like this place?」
<0054> .........
