nothing hits as close to my heart as japanese literature about loneliness. at only 20 i feel my life heading in the same direction as fuyuko’s. the melancholy quietness of her day to day, and finding comfort in someone n not knowing what to do with it.

when mitsutsuka doesn’t show up on her birthday, i felt how painful that wld be, how hopeless the future wld fee knowing she’d be alone like that forever.

maybe i shld make some more friends, but who’s to say it wld make any difference?

chapter 6 includes a rape scene so be mindful of that. You can omit reading it entirely and just read the last one/two pages and not miss anything important. The only important thing from that chapter was the guy character saying "Being around you pisses me off" because that sentiment is seen by another character later on.
