I asked my parents about cancer,

and they told me all sorts of nasty stuff about it.

Like it didn’t have a cure,

and that no one knows where it came from.

I felt really bad for Fuuka-chan when she started to cry,

so I wanted to stay with her a bit longer.

But she told me she was okay,

and that she’d manage somehow.

I hugged her again before saying goodbye.

At that time, I started to wonder.

Wasn’t she with Hatori-kun already?

I thought that she would tell him about things like this.

But for such a long time we never talked,

and then she just opened up to me.

They weren’t together that day.

Maybe, just maybe,

something happened between them.
