Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e Vol 2 Prolog

SAKURA AIRI MONOLOGUE

I'm not good at interacting with others.

I'm not good at talking to people while making eye contact.

I'm not really used to crowded atmospheres.

I don't know when I started being bad at such things.

However, one thing I do know, one can't completely live alone.

No matter how much I liked solitude, there was no way I could survive alone.

So, I came up with a solution.

Wearing a mask, I lived by hiding my true identity.

From then on I wasn't myself anymore, but instead, became me.

In this dark and lonely world, I can continue to survive.

The world is not a beautiful place. As long as it makes sense, everyone secretly wishes for a beautiful world. A bit contradictory.

Everyone... everyone doesn't mind it, so please tell me this...

Is everyone wearing a mask like me?

Or, is there no one who cares to make a difference and show their true selves instead?

Since I have no ties with others, how could I possibly know.

So, I was alone, and today is the same.

I'm fine with myself.

I'm fine with being alone.

Me-

I- from the bottom of my heart, want someone who can touch me.

And so, today I will continue to live quietly, with my eyes looking down.
