“Well, I won’t pretend. If he does like someone else and rejects you, it probably will hurt. However, holding back those emotions can hurt too,” she spoke. What a hypocrite. She hadn’t confessed to Souji yet.
“In this world, there are endless possibilities. And sometimes, you just have to leap whether or not you’re caught. You just have to let yourself fall. If you shy away from everything you want in life, you’ll only be asking yourself: What if I had done that? You can’t answer that question, if you don’t try!”
“I-Isn’t that the word for it? ‘Dokis’?”
Rebecca let out a huffing noise before looking up at her schoolmate, cheeks still pink.
“I’ll try but… There are people who’re really mean to him for no reason and… What if he thinks I’m not serious because of that? Like… People are just expecting me to understand why he’s supposedly a bad person but…
I don’t. He’s kind and sweet and I don’t understand why some people treat him like he’s satan or something.”
It always made her very sad to see that as well. She didn’t know why it happened, only that it was very mean. She didn’t much like the girl in the green jacket as a result.
