Nobody's Listening[]
For the 6rd Anniversary, a short story of the character's thoughts and trauma.[1] Translated by Luna
This is a "fragment of memory" deep within their hearts
You don't have to love me. Just look at me.
- I used to believe that I was someone special. An existence meant to stand in the spotlight and be loved by everyone.
I believed that...once the stage was set, I would definitely be able to shine. I never once doubted it.
But such kind of hope was crushed all too easily.
And before I knew it, everyone began treating the failed me as if I was someone who 「never exists」.
To live a life being unseen...was far more painful than being mocked or insulted.
