Watashi no R
[00:04.80] When I was just about to take off my shoes on the rooftop,
[00:07.21] I found someone already there before me a girl with braided hair.
[00:09.22] Despite myself,
[00:11.46] I called out to her:
[00:13.71] “Hey, don’t do it.”
[00:25.20] The words just kind of slipped from my mouth.
[00:27.45] It didn’t really matter to me either way.
[00:29.71] It just didn’t sit right with me
[00:31.97] that someone got there ahead of me.
[00:34.18] The girl with braided hair told me her story—
[00:36.45] the kind of story one probably has heard before.
[00:38.97] “I thought we were meant for each other.
[00:41.20] I just really wanted him to like me back.”
[00:43.45] Are you kidding me?!
[00:45.19] The nerve you have to get here
[00:47.97] Before me for such a lame reason!
[00:52.46] You’re upset because you can’t have what you want?
[00:57.22] You’re lucky enough that you’ve never had anything stolen from you!
[01:01.96] “I feel better now that I’ve talked about it,”
[01:03.95] the girl with braided hair said, and disappeared.
[01:10.93] “All right, I’m gonna do it today,” I thought,
[01:12.95] but just when I was about to take off my shoes,
[01:15.46] I found a short girl there,
[01:17.73] and I ended up calling out to her again.
[01:19.93] The short girl told me,
[01:22.19] about how lonely she feels in her class.
[01:24.44] “Everyone ignores me. Everything’s stolen from me.
[01:26.69] I don’t belong anywhere,” she said.
[01:29.20] Are you kidding me?!
[01:30.97] The nerve you have to get here
[01:33.69] before me for such a tame reason!
[01:38.21] Despite all that,
[01:39.95] you’re still loved at home,
[01:42.71] and there’s always dinner waiting for you, right?
[01:47.44] “I’m hungry,”
[01:49.43] the short girl cried, and disappeared.
[01:52.70] Just like that, I spoke to a few of them
[01:58.69] and talked them out of it,
[02:00.94] while I myself can’t share my pains with anyone.
[02:19.68] For the first time,
[02:21.55] I’ve found a girl who has the same
[02:23.81] kind of problems as me.
[02:26.30] I met this girl wearing a yellow cardigan
[02:28.54] after I’ve seen a few of them.
[02:30.81] “I came here, hoping to erase
[02:33.25] the bruises that keep increasing
[02:35.48] every time I come home,” she said.
[02:37.73] The words just kind of slipped from my mouth.
[02:39.97] It didn’t really matter to me either way.
[02:42.21] But I ended up saying to her
[02:44.49] something even I myself didn’t quite believe in:
[02:46.96] “Hey, just don’t do it.”
[02:51.46] Aah, what should I do?
[02:53.21] I can’t stop this girl.
[02:55.97] I don’t have the right to stop her.
[03:00.47] But even so, just go away from here.
[03:04.96] It’s too painful for me to look at you.
[03:09.73] “I won’t do it today, then,”
[03:11.99] she said as she dropped her gaze, and disappeared.
[03:16.71] There’s no one here today.
[03:18.96] It’s just me, myself and I.
[03:21.22] No one can get in my way.
[03:23.47] No one would get in my way for me.
[03:25.71] Taking off my cardigan,
[03:27.97] unbraiding my hair,
[03:30.23] this short girl
[03:32.71] is going to jump now.
