So you were okay too! Man, that accident at Takanawa Tunnel came out of nowhere, right!?
I managed to get out quick, but guys like you and Ichiro weren't coming out at all, so I thought you guys died.
Then again, I was covered in scrapes too, so I got carried to the hospital pretty soon after. And now that I've been released, the school's closed.
I'm not really best buds or anything with Ichiro, y'know.
I guess he wants to be accepted by everyone, but he always does reckless stuff. So yeah, I hang with him because that's fun to watch.
Plus, he's from a wealthy family. I'm not losing much hanging with him, yeah?
*sigh* If only he didn't have that habit of checking how people feel about him...
It'd been a while, but I ran into Ichiro the other day and he surprised me. He had this strong, confident look on his face that was nothing like the Ichiro I used to know.
I don't know how to put it. It's like, all his worries were gone, or like, he found something he can believe in... Well, anyway, that's how he seemed.
It's just that change is surprising considering what happened at school.
...Actually, is it because of what happened...?
Seriously, what in the world happened to Ichiro? He's changed to like, a scary degree.
He was saying stuff like, "Just waiting around or believing won't do. I'm going to guide everyone!"
I guess it's a good thing for him, but he's changed so much that I can't keep up with him.
...I know that we weren't best buds or anything to begin with, and I'm in no position to say anything about him...
But Ichiro's looking further into the future and he's going forward with confidence. I don't think anyone will make fun of him anymore.
