I look at myself in the mirror. I'm just a normal girl: short, blue hair, I hate long hair, and lilac eyes that you always said were pretty, although I only see shadows under them. I sigh, I really am a mess. I come out of the bathroom in my uniform and beige cardigan. On the nightstand, our photo as kids at the amusement park. My chest hurts… it hurts too much.
I spit out hydrangea flowers, like my name, Ajisai. So blue and cold… like me.
I hate you… I hate you so much, and yet, I love you.
