I... after the parents that gave birth to me died... my mother... and father... after I was alone...
I always thought that pictures... pictures were the best way of making memories, ne? So... I like taking lots and lots of pictures... so... I'm sure that I don't forget anything... I... I don't want to forget this happiness... these... these feelings of love.
I've... I've taken pictures of some of my friends... but I know now... that even though they... they make me remember everything... these pictures... they are only pictures...
Like... like...
Hiyori-chan... She's... she's so cute, ne? But... this picture... it only tells me... what she... what she looks like... it doesn't tell me about her beautiful manga or... or... how she makes me feel happy and good inside... If I were to go back now... I wouldn't remember that just... just by looking at this picture...
Tamaki-kun... Tamaki-kun is really... really... he makes me feel as if everything's alright. Oogami-kun would like him, I think... Mmn mnn, I'm sure... He's talented and good with other people... Not like me... who... who always... say the wrong things and... and... make a fool... of myself... not like me at all... Chikane-chan likes him too and... they... They would make... a picturesque couple, ne? Though... I... I'm not sure... I would...
Chikane-chan... Chikane-chan... Ne... I think... I think everybody... everybody must think Chikane-chan is beautiful... and perfect... and talented... and polite... and... and... I'm really glad... I've met... Chikane-chan...
And everybody... Kuromi-san and everybody... I... when I came to the City... I thought... I didn't think... it would be like this... but... everybody has been so friendly and good to me... I... I don't think I can ever return their kindness... I'm not... I'm not good at such things... so... I mean... I... Ano... I... I'll look stupid, ne?
Thank you very much, everybody!
I think Chikane-chan... back in Mahoroba... everybody would like her... everybody would admire her and be in awe of all the things she can do... she's like... a real princess... Mako-chan would say she fitted really well with Oogami-kun and... back in Mahoroba... she would never have looked to my side... not because she's unkind! But... I'm such an unimportant person... I'm not worth very much... she would be busy... with important things and... I would never have gotten to know her, would I? So... I'm really grateful... grateful that I've come to the City and met Chikane-chan and become her friend... But... that's a selfish thought, ne?
Maybe I should make Chikane-chan a present?
