Bocchi the Rock: Smiles Not Required

There was a slow-witted kid in our class who always stared at everyone, blank-faced and dazed.

Like a lonely little bear sitting by the river, watching the fish swim back and forth in the water but unable to catch any.

I watched her for a long, long time, too.

Until the teacher asked me to help her fit in with everyone.

I thought, "All right! If that's what the teacher says!"

Theme: It's okay not to smile.
