TV screen: Dog bitten; in critical condition
TV: That should be “bitten by dog” and not “dog bitten”. Our apologies for the typo.
H: really can't stand female anchors. [should probably change announcers to anchors later on. Lit: hate female anchors/announcers]
Page 19
Y: Huh?!
Y: Why?
Y: They're the kind of people that, like, everyone wants to date once.
H: ...You really want to hear it, Yajima?
Y: Yeah, lay it on me!!
H: Their personaaalities... [lit: self absorbed, always looking out for themselves first]
H: and, like, major disaaasters...
Page 20
H: See, first of all, like, the younger bunch on TV these days are just bad. Only those pageant-winning types trying hard to look good are worth a damn. [he's sighing here, so this line should give the impression that he feels like he's educating Yajima]\this second sentence gives me a case of the wtfs. It sounds like exactly the opposite of what he's saying.\
H: So... obviously... [another sigh, he's playing teacher]
H: If, like, some major disaster happened during a live news broadcast, you think they could snap out of their usual role of only concerning themselves with the steamy sex lives of pro baseball players and the young elite?
H: You think they wouldn't just abandon their journalistic responsibilities? You think they'd be able to report on it calmly when they're the type of people who only look out for number one?
H: Nope. No freaking way. They'd probably just be running around in circles screaming their heads off. You get it now? [another sigh]
H: All things considered, I find flight attendants, who are putting their lives at risk for their job, far more admirable.
H: Besides, news anchoring shouldn't be about selling fresh faces. After they've done, like, ten years of grunt work,
H: and they're mentally and physically capable, over thirty, seasoned and ready, then they should be on screen.
TV: Thank you for watching. [Lit: Broadcast finished]\boy has it been a long time since I saw a TV station sign off at night\

H: But, you know, in the end, even though I really don't care that much about female anchors or flight attendants,

H: To me, Nakagawa Isami-sensei's comics occupy a space far removed from the realm of fears. [dread/fear/horror in the general sense, not his specific fears, this is the reason why I don't like, “takes me away from my fears,” maybe “takes me away from the space of fear...”]\and the manga shown is, of course, Poohtarou the Bear by Nakagawa Isami\
Y: Whoa! That's a unique take on them!
Page 35
H: Textbooks should be good too.
H: They're always so overly serious and artificial that it's somehow sort of funny. They're far from scary. \shooting for 'stilted' while still keeping 'cold, inhuman, robotic' in mind\
Books: Japanese 1, Japanese 2, (A detailed guide) New Geography, Modern Society, Japanese Literature, (A detailed guide) ??
Book: 1985 Yearbook
H: And, finally, an old yearbook.
H: My middle school and high school ones won't work well, but my elementary school one should still be full of hopes and dreams. I'll be able to use that.
H: I spread them out evenly like this,
