A Silent Voice (Koe no Katachi)

What? Huh? Is she asking me to let her sleep in MY ROOM?!

I think I misheard what she said.

"What did you say Nishimiya?"

She stepped closer to me.

"Can I please sleep in your room?"

Okay.

Now how the heck should I respond?!

There's nothing bad if I let her sleep in my room right? I'll just let her sleep in my bed and I will sleep on the floor.

I'M VERY SORRY IF I AM OVERREACTING! WELL HOW WOULD YOU REACT IF A GIRL WANTS TO SLEEP IN YOUR PLACE HUH?! ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE A GUY, YOU'LL OVERREACT!

Now, what should I tell her? Uhhhh. Okay fudge it, I'll tell her.

"Okay, I'll sleep on the floor, okay?"

I started to fix the bed and arrange the things I need to sleep on the floor.

As I fix things up I look at Nishimiya with my peripheral vision, she's just looking at my things.

Haha, she's cute in pajamas. Those designs are really Nishimiya-like, floral designs...

Oh I remembered that she said she is scared? I wonder what made her scared at this time.

"Say Nishimiya, you said that you're scared, what happened back there?" We looked at each other and she just looked at me for seconds. Oookay?

"It's okay if you don't want to say it haha, I'm just curi--"

..

..

She

hugged me.

She started to cry...

Sh-should I?

"Nishimiya..."

I hugged her back, I really don't know what happened to her. I really think that she needs someone to comfort her...

She looked at me with those teary eyes. What happened?

"I have a bad dream, no, a nightmare," she wiped her tears.

"I s-saw you. We're together, a-and w-we're so happy. Th-then!"
She sobbed.

"You just...

left me."

"I don't want you to leave me! Please don't leave me!

I wauv yu

Shouya!  "

Did she...

Did she just...

I looked at her.

I stepped closer to her.

I placed my hand on her cheek.

There is no going back now...

"I love you too...

Shouko."

I kissed my first love.
