Aka: Well, I'll go sit somewhere, I'll talk to you later, Azu!
Azu: Talk to you later too, Aka...
[Azu sits in a corner while Aka sits somewheres else]

Azu: (Why don't i feel good...)
[Azu beginds to have a flashback]
Azu's mother: Stop crying, boys shouldn't cry, you're so sensitive, you're just a mistake
Azu's mother: Stop being so irrational, just because it didn't go your way that you have to be all mad, grow up for once
Azu's Classmate: Azu's such a crybaby, i don't get it what he's so emotional for!
Azu's mother: i can't believe i gave birth to such an ugrateful boy, is this how you retribuate my hard work and love? by being this disgusting thing you are? I don't want to even look at your face, don't refer to me as your mother until you change your messed up head
Azu's Classmate: You really thought i was your friend, Azu? Haha! No one wants to be your friend, you're just a weird and confused boy, that's why no one plays with you, not even your mom likes you
[Flashback Ends]
Azu: (I was never accepted as who i am, not even by my own mother...)
Azu: (I had to run away from my own mother, i had to give up everything and had to struggle for everything, i kept my emotions for myself for too long to the point I can't even express myself... I can't do anything right, i can't... i shouldn't... be alive, I don't want to be alive, i want to die... i don't want to deal with this anymore, i want to be alone, no one really does... like me, not even my own sister...)
Azu: (If i disappeared, would anyone care?)
Azu: (I don't think anyone would care... not even Aka, she has her own things to worry about, it's understandable...)
Azu: (...I... don't know what to do anymore... i don't know what i feel anymore, I don't know if i'm sad or angry)
???: Hey...
Azu: ... Huh?
???: Are you... ok? I saw that you look very... confused?
Azu: Confused...?
???: i can't really tell, but I don't think it's that good, i mean... are you feeling well?
Azu: ... i... don't really know if i could talk about it right now...
???: Ah... i see...
Azu: What's.... your name?
Naro: My name is Naro, what about yours?
Azu: I'm... Azu
Naro: Oh, nice to meet you, Azu!
Azu: Nice to meet you too... Naro...
Naro: Do you want to... hang out at recess?
Azu: ... i... actually wouldn't mind, sure...
Naro: Oh, okay then
Azu: (What's with this guy? he's actually... being nice? weird...)
Azu: (I guess i'm just... not used to that...)
Naro: (I wanna know what's up with this guy, i know he's probably not fine, i want to know what's up with him, i want to help him... I want to... actually be useful for once...)
[Naro has a flashback]
Young Naro: ...mom? Mom...!
[Naro starts to cry]
Young Naro: Mom... I'm sorry i couldn't save you... It's all my fault you died in the fire and not me... I should have died in your place... I'm sorry mom... I wasn't useful...
[Flashback ends]
Naro: (I'm so sorry, mom, I've failed you, and now, I'll never see you, i still miss you...)
Naro: (I won't let that happen again, I'll actually be useful for once... and help someone...)
[At recess]
Naro: So, Azu, what do you like doing?
Azu: I don't know, i usually like listening to music, there's not... much i like doing...
Naro: Well, that's already something!
Azu: I guess... but what about you
Naro: I like playing games, all kinds!
Azu: Is it like... your hobby?
Naro: Yeah!
Azu: (I wish i had like... a hobby or just something i really enjoy doing, or at least something productive...)
Naro: Do you want to... listen to music together?
Azu: Hm... I'll pass...
Naro: Ah, i see, it's ok!
Azu: (Is this guy... trying to be my friend? I don't really trust him... last time i called someone my friend they turned their backs on me and gossiped about me, what if... it happens again?)
Azu: I think i'll... just go... see you later..
Naro: Ah, alright, see you later!
[Azu leaves]
Naro: (It's happening again... People are distancing themselves from me... I guess what they told me is true, i am a disgusting person... I'll never be a real boy, I'll never be a valid person, I'm just a really disgusting person, that's why no one wants to be my friend...)
[Naro has a flashback]
Naro's Classmate: Haha, Look at this girl, she really thinks she is a boy, when will she wake up?
Naro's Grandpa: That's just not acceptable, you're just confused, you're a girl and that's final, i don't accept that kind of behavior around my house, you're out of this house and I'll only accept you at my house if you accept that you are a girl and that's IT.
[Flashback ends]
Naro: (Even my own family and classmates were disgusted by who i am, i guess it's just how things have to me... I'll be forever empty and alone... i hate myself for being this way... why wasn't i born... normal?)
Naro: (I... won't give up to understand more about this guy... i want to help him no matter what...)
