Watashi no R
[00:00.45] When I was just about to take off my shoes on the rooftop,
[00:02.94] I found someone already there before me a girl with braided hair.
[00:05.20] Despite myself,
[00:07.43] I called out to her:
[00:09.67] “Hey, don’t do it.”
[00:21.16] The words just kind of slipped from my mouth.
[00:23.43] It didn’t really matter to me either way.
[00:25.92] It just didn’t sit right with me
[00:27.93] that someone got there ahead of me.
[00:30.17] The girl with braided hair told me her story—
[00:32.66] the kind of story one probably has heard before.
[00:34.90] “I thought we were meant for each other.
[00:37.16] I just really wanted him to like me back.”
[00:39.44] Are you kidding me?!
[00:41.18] The nerve you have to get here
[00:43.92] before me for such a tame reason!
[00:48.43] You’re upset because you can’t have what you want?
[00:53.16] You’re lucky enough that you’ve never had anything stolen from you!
[00:57.68] “I feel better now that I’ve talked about it,”
[00:59.93] the girl with braided hair said, and disappeared.
[01:06.70] “All right, I’m gonna do it today,” I thought,
[01:09.20] but just when I was about to take off my shoes,
[01:11.42] I found a short girl there,
[01:13.71] and I ended up calling out to her again.
[01:15.96] The short girl told me,
[01:18.45] about how lonely she feels in her class.
[01:20.69] “Everyone ignores me. Everything’s stolen from me.
[01:22.92] I don’t belong anywhere,” she said.
[01:25.22] Are you kidding me?!
[01:26.94] The nerve you have to get here
[01:29.71] before me for such a tame reason!
[01:34.18] Despite all that,
[01:36.18] you’re still loved at home,
[01:38.68] and there’s always dinner waiting for you, right?
[01:43.18] “I’m hungry,”
[01:45.43] the short girl cried, and disappeared.
[01:48.69] Just like that, I spoke to a few of them
[01:52.44] and talked them out of it,
[01:56.96] while I myself can’t share my pains with anyone.
[02:15.44] For the first time, I’ve found
[02:17.67] a girl who has the same kind of problems as me.
[02:20.19] I had seen some people like her before.
[02:22.42] This girl wearing a yellow cardigan
[02:24.68] after I’ve seen a few of them.
[02:26.94] “I came here, hoping to erase
[02:29.19] the bruises that keep increasing
[02:31.41] every time I come home,” she said.
[02:33.68] The words just kind of slipped from my mouth.
[02:35.94] It didn’t really matter to me either way.
[02:38.43] But I ended up saying to her
[02:40.42] something even I myself didn’t quite believe in:
[02:42.67] “Hey, just don’t do it.”
[02:47.43] What should I do?
[02:49.17] I can’t stop this girl.
[02:51.92] I don’t have the right to stop her.
[02:56.42] But even so, just go away from here.
[03:01.18] It’s too painful for me to look at you.
[03:05.66] “I won’t do it today, then,”
[03:07.92] she said as she dropped her gaze, and disappeared.
[03:12.68] There’s no one here today.
[03:14.93] It’s just me, myself and I.
[03:17.18] No one can get in my way.
[03:19.41] No one would get in my way for me.
[03:21.68] Taking off my cardigan,
[03:23.91] unbraiding my hair,
[03:26.16] this short girl
[03:28.71] is going to jump now.
