| 4 | >It's certainly a bit late to be asking this but... | |
| 5 | >what exactly is our relationship supposed to be...? | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | >Hmm. | |
| 8 | >What relationship, huh? | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | >What do you think, Asuka-chan? | |
| 11 | >Please don't dodge the question. | |
| 12 | >I'm the one asking you. | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | >>back off | |
| 15 | >How harsh. | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | >Y'see, | |
| 18 | >I'm constantly thinking. | |
| 19 | >Do all types of relationships need names? | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | p2 | |
| 22 | >It gets a bit cramped trying to force them into categories, don't you think? | |
| 23 | >>untie | |
| 24 | >>pat pat | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | >...I see. | |

| 29 | p3 | |
| 30 | >Huh? | |
| 31 | >... | |
| 32 | ||

| 38 | ||
| 39 | >Y'see, | |
| 40 | >you might think I'm being sarcastic when you hear this but, | |
| 41 | >I've always been strangely quick at grasping things. | |
| 42 | >A fast learner... or something like that. | |
| 43 | >To put it simply, with just a little bit of effort, I'm better at doing things than most people. | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | p4 | |
| 46 | >That's why kids and adults alike have been relying on me since I was little. | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | >And I | |
| 49 | >was able to carry out my role as required. | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | >I never hated it or found it tedious. | |
| 52 | >Even I knew this was what I was best at. | |
| 53 | >More than anything... | |
| 54 | ||
| 55 | >Pleasing people by doing things well | |
| 56 | >made me very happy. | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | p5 | |
| 59 | >But eventually, | |
| 60 | >I could feel the distance between me and other people growing larger. | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | >I think it was around the time I entered middle school. | |
| 63 | ||
| 64 | >Even when I was with someone, the feeling of loneliness wouldn't go away no matter what I did. | |
| 65 | >Loneliness... | |
| 66 | ||
| 67 | >You certainly don't look lonely... | |
| 68 | >I suppose I wouldn't. | |
| 69 | ||
| 70 | p6 | |
| 71 | >But in actuality, I was very lonely. | |
| 72 | >It's kinda embarrassing bringing this up again. | |
| 73 | >... | |
| 74 | ||
| 75 | >What is it? | |
| 76 | >This weird feeling... | |
| 77 | ||
| 78 | >It's like | |
| 79 | >I'm hearing someone else explain it... | |
| 80 | ||
| 81 | >As if she's way too good at talking about this... | |
| 82 | >That's why | |
| 83 | >I actually kinda admired you, Asuka-chan. | |
| 84 | >Eh? | |
| 85 | ||
| 86 | p7 | |
| 87 | >I mean, | |
| 88 | >you've always gone at your own pace ever since you were little, right? | |
| 89 | ||
| 90 | >You're generally okay on your own... | |
| 91 | >and you'd often count ants outside the apartment building. | |
| 92 | >? What are you doing, Asuka-chan? | |
| 93 | >51, 52, 53... | |
| 94 | >What about that episode is admirable...? | |
| 95 | >If anything, it's kinda freaky... | |
| 96 | ||
| 97 | >True. | |
| 98 | >But you always did things naturally. | |
| 99 | ||
| 100 | >I also wanted to live | |
| 101 | >without worrying about how people saw me. | |
| 102 | ||
| 103 | >Maybe I'd be a little more relaxed that way. | |
| 104 | ||
| 105 | p8 | |
| 106 | >But | |
| 107 | >when I saw you after so long, Asuka-chan, | |
| 108 | ||
| 109 | >you had this really pained expression for some reason. | |
| 110 | ||
| 111 | >Why was that? | |
