"My name is Yi An. This is the first time we meet. Please forgive me if there is anything wrong."
I hate this place and all the people.
"Classmate Yi An, what's wrong with you? You don't look very good. How about I take you home?"
"Send me home? Don't you want to see Echizen Ryoma? Don't you want me to send you a love letter?"
Approaching under the guise of caring for others, thereby gaining others' care and asking for more in return, is all this and hypocritical.
"Yi An? Do you miss your father?"
"I don't want to."
"Children are like this. That boy Echizen never said he missed me, haha, but his actions were very honest. He would call me when he was scared, scold me when he was sad, and show off to me when he was happy... Although you have never said it, I know you care about the starry sky stone your father gave you."
My father has never been by my side, but he loves me very much. I know this better than anyone else. It was me who was too ignorant and kept complaining about him. I didn't even say goodbye properly when he left.
"Yi An, I have to go to practice tomorrow, come and bring me a lunch box."
"No, I'm busy."
"The people from Hyotei Academy are also back."
"Time, place, what do you want to eat?"
"... It seems like I can buy it myself, forget it. The sun is big."
"Echizen, let me tell you, dumplings can be made not only with seaweed, but also with grilled meat."
