Love can’t Scatter a Flower
A certain girl’s memories
It is an encounter with love, the memories of a girl.
What kind of questions will this episode ask of life?
It’s rare to see you stay after school, Himeko
Something on your mind?
“...”
Actually, I was just passing by
And I didn’t meant to peek
“Um…”
That was…Kashima..wasn’t it?
“Sakuya.”
Please go out with me!
I l-l-love you!!
“...”
You d-d-don’t have to g-g-give me an answer right now!!!
“So, uhm
See ya around!! Aaaahhhhh!!!!”
He left me with this <confounding bombshell>[confession]
And ran away-
But…
I’ve never even thought about…
Whether I liked him…or dislike him…
When I think back on it…
I might’ve not even liked…anyone…that way…
She likes <XX>[someone], or is interested in <XX>[some other person]
“I like Kashima-kun! He’s so cool!” “I’ve got my eyes on the prince.”
That’s all the flowery topics the girls would ever talk about
“You have some fierce competition if you’re gunning for prince Kise.” “I’m sure she’ll be fine, Seri-chan’s cute!”
I am always by my lonesome
“Thanks. But you’re right, he’s a tough nut to crack.”
Even if I was invited to join <a friend group with a clear ranking system>
“How about we go shopping this Sunday for some nice clothes?”
I won’t be able to laugh like them
“Sounds great! Seri-chan’s got a great eye for fashion, maybe I’ll have you pick out my clothes~”
While hiding this defect of mine
“Should we get someone else to come along?”
Which of us rejected the other first?
“Ah- I mean, I’m busy with my work at the shrine.”
Which of us caused estrangement first?
“What’s her deal? We’re not even asking her.”
This <system that operates on ethics>, full of defects
“I’ve never even seen anyone go to her shrine.” “What a joke!” “Haha!”
Hey teacher, tell me!
<Aromantic>
Himeko, someone somewhere has already
Put a name and label to your troubles
You’re not alone…by any means…
“Keep this between us.”
I am the same as you…
The courtyard has forgotten the day’s noisiness
The school building sinks into the depths of dusk
In an empty classroom
Two silhouettes come together
Is this coincidence? Or is it fate?
Lonely souls that are drawn to no one
Find attraction in each other precisely due to the lack thereof…
“Even after you graduate….you will be my student…forever.”
