Having finally realized that fact, Soukichi felt the urge to break out into laughter.
I never imagined that I of all people would ever feel lonely... Soukichi mused.
He has assumed that such a feeling had long since perished during his time in elementary school. Since then, he hadn’t ever truly felt uncomfortable on his lonesome, and it was more the way that those around him assumed that he was just putting on a front while secretly cursing how lonely he was that was harder to deal with. He never thought that the day would come where he would actually feel lonely due to someone not being there.
Sigh... I am such a wuss now. Just how much have I been changed by that girl?
“Hah...” Soukichi could only heave a slight sigh at how things had turned out.
“Hey, you! Wait up!”
