Watashi no R
[00:04.80] When I was just about to take off my shoes on the rooftop,
[00:06.91] I found someone already there before me a girl with braided hair.
[00:09.17] Despite myself,
[00:11.42] I called out to her:
[00:13.90] “Hey, don’t do it.”
[00:25.46] The words just kind of slipped from my mouth.
[00:27.41] It didn’t really matter to me either way.
[00:29.67] It just didn’t sit right with me
[00:32.16] that someone got there ahead of me.
[00:34.18] The girl with braided hair told me her story—
[00:36.67] the kind of story one probably has heard before.
[00:38.91] “I thought we were meant for each other.
[00:41.16] I just really wanted him to like me back.”
[00:43.68] Are you kidding me?!
[00:45.08] The nerve you have to get here
[00:47.84] before me for such a lame reason!
[00:52.58] You’re upset because you can’t have what you want?
[00:57.08] You’re lucky enough that you’ve never had anything stolen from you!
[01:01.81] “I feel better now that I’ve talked about it,”
[01:04.08] the girl with braided hair said, and disappeared.
[01:11.06] “All right, I’m gonna do it today,” I thought,
[01:13.08] but just when I was about to take off my shoes,
[01:15.61] I found a short girl there,
[01:17.84] and I ended up calling out to her again.
[01:20.08] The short girl told me,
[01:22.33] about how lonely she feels in her class.
[01:24.58] “Everyone ignores me. Everything’s stolen from me.
[01:26.81] I don’t belong anywhere,” she said.
[01:29.32] Are you kidding me?!
[01:31.08] The nerve you have to get here
[01:33.58] before me for such a tame reason!
[01:38.07] Despite all that,
[01:40.10] you’re still loved at home,
[01:42.70] and there’s always dinner waiting for you, right?
[01:47.70] “I’m hungry,”
[01:49.70] the short girl cried, and disappeared.
[01:52.84] Just like that, I spoke to a few of them
[01:56.70] and talked them out of it,
[02:01.36] while I myself can’t share my pains with anyone.
[02:19.71] For the first time, I’ve found
[02:21.70] a girl who has the same kind of problems as me.
[02:23.95] I met this girl wearing a yellow cardigan
[02:26.44] after I’ve seen a few of them.
[02:28.69] “I came here, hoping to erase
[02:30.95] the bruises that keep increasing
[02:35.45] every time I come home,” she said.
[02:37.71] The words just kind of slipped from my mouth.
[02:40.20] It didn’t really matter to me either way.
[02:42.21] But I ended up saying to her
[02:44.70] something even I myself didn’t quite believe in:
[02:46.93] “Hey, just don’t do it.”
[02:51.34] Aah, what should I do?
[02:53.34] I can’t stop this girl.
[02:55.87] I don’t have the right to stop her.
[03:00.61] But even so, just go away from here.
[03:05.11] It’s too painful for me to look at you.
[03:09.62] “I won’t do it today, then,”
[03:11.83] she said as she dropped her gaze, and disappeared.
[03:16.44] There’s no one here today.
[03:18.84] It’s just me, myself and I.
[03:21.07] No one can get in my way.
[03:23.57] No one would get in my way for me.
[03:25.83] Taking off my cardigan,
[03:28.08] unbraiding my hair,
[03:30.33] this short girl
[03:32.57] is going to jump now.
