Pg 49 (45)

"Mirror / oh mirror..." huh

Extra chapter: Spring Light

Pg 50 (46)

Girls can pretend not to see things they don't want to see // pretend it never existed // hateful things, dirty things, shameful things // even if // that is // yourself

I'm so // not cute...

Pg 51 (47)

Every morning I stand in front of the mirror and brush my hair and wash my face

I wash it carefully but making sure not to see my face

I don't consider myself to be "girly" / but I conveniently ignore things I don't want to see

Should I change to contacts // ...it won't make much of a difference

I've told myself this 100 times as I've looked in the mirror

Pg 52 (48)

I'm going to enter an American high school in the fall because

There's something I want to study // I had the chance to

I wanted to go somewhere far // I wanted to run away // I hated everything about myself // everything in my life

You might say that everyone has thought how much they hate themselves at least once in life // but I don't think that's true

because

Pg 53 (49)

everyone looks so pretty

unlike me

it's starting...today...

Pg 54 (50)

Girls are the same in any country / they're all cute and look like they're having fun

They laugh like flowers / as if they're living in a world of spring

Pg 55 (51)

I know no one is looking at me // but I look down when I walk

I hate that I'm so ugly // why am I like this

I wonder if he's a college student... / Asian... Japanese? // He's reading a letter... / airmail..

Pg 56 (52)

From home? But he // doesn't look happy at all / I wonder why...

That just caught my attention a little bit

Pg 57 (53)

Huh? // My freckles...are getting lighter in color maybe?

text: I'm going to test this out

I wonder if this works...

Shoko!
Oh, Emily

That's a new product! So? How is it?
I haven't used it much yet so I don't know...

Hm but your skin is getting better
Really...?

Pg 58 (54)

There aren't any no-smoking areas in Japan? And you get fined for smoking on the street
Yeah, pretty much
Wow

But I think it'll eventually be prohibited everywhere

I thought his fingers that held the cigarette were long // and that my hair grew a little bit

The next day I impulsively

started cutting my heavy hair that I've been growing

Pg 59 (55)

Straight and thick and uncontrollable // I could only tie it up // I hated my hair

I had to grow it out when I was younger because it would fly all over the place when it was cut short // but now it's not so bad
Maybe my hair quality changed...

Pg 60 (56)

I wonder if he's responding...

Pg 61 (57)

...it's scribble...

That's / mine...
text: oops Japanese...

...I was wondering what you we're writing with such a serious face... / haha
Oh.. // yeah...

Then...as a thanks for picking it up / and to keep you from telling anyone can I treat you to something?

Pg 62 (58)

You can jump over it can't you?

Everything I hated disappeared into the past called Winter // and I became a resident in the Spring World

You okay?

Pg 63 (59)

...yup
I could smile like a flower

I see now that the girls in the Spring world // were all in love // and I had ended up there somehow

Pg 64 (60)

Oh / I left my mobile in my room

By the shoe box again? I'm going back to I can get it for you
"...class...Hiro Iokawa"

"Please come to the closest student center ASAP"
H: What's going on

"There is an international phone call for you, please..."

Wait for me
Ok
I didn't know at that time

Pg 65 (61)

"Your parents and aunt Yoko / have passed away..."

"in an accident... / your 8 year old sister was safe..."

Sorry it's rushed.. / I'll come back when everything is settled...
Ok

I'll be waiting

Pg 66 (62)

Poor thing

You're all alone now

But doesn't she have an older brother?

Yes he's studying abroad... // but I thought he was...
Shh

Pg 67 (63)

It's not something that should be discussed now...

Papa and mama // and Aunt Yoko are all gone

Poor thing poor thing // you're all alone

Poor thing poor thing

I wrote my brother a letter 3 days ago // we used to always write it together // it didn't get sent yet

Um... // that...letter...

Poor thing Karada-chan // Poor thing

Pg 68 (64)

Box: Repeating it will make me more sad!
Stop saying "poor thing"

Pg 69 (66)

I'm safe / here!

Poor thing...? // I can't see them anymore

Papa // and mama // and Aunt Yoko

I can't see them anymore // I didn't know that's possible // Saying "bye bye" is sad // but saying "bye bye" forever

Pg 70 (67)

It's like hide and seek

Not between the blankets or inside the closet? // Always here
Hey! Karada!!

Pg 71 (68)

You've made the kitchen full of suds again!

Eat your vegetables / they're good for you

I bought you something else already

Whenever I got scolded // I would cry

And hide in the curtain

Karada

Pg 72 (69)

Karada // come out

I don't need it anymore

...my legs / are getting numb

Poor thing...she's all alone n ow
There was that boy upstairs, Hiro-kun I think / Oh but...

Pg 73 (70)

He's not her real brother / I don't think he'll take her in...

Shh that's supposed to be a secret

...I know

I overheard papa talking the day before we wrote the letter // it's also in the un-sent letter // but I've always loved my brother

"I can't wait to meet you" // I wonder if he'll come

Poor thing / All alone now... // Poor thing

Pg 74 (71)

It's the first time I'm going to meet him so I have to greet him properly // so I have to be a good girl

Say your greetings // use proper language // and don't cause trouble

Ok! I got it!
"I understand" right?

Excuse me, I just arrived here
Hiro-kun! ...it must have been tough

...Um

Pg 75 (72)

...where's my sister...?

Pg 76 (73)

Uh...
It's "Hiro-oniichan"

Are you okay?

I'm okay / ...yes

In a loud voice

Pg 77 (74)

Nice to meet you // I am Iokawa Karada / Oniichan

Since you were gone Hiro-kun... / we took over everything...
H: ....no I'm grateful, thank you very much // it's supposed to be my responsibility

...Um can I ask something?

Pg 78 (75)

H: This girl...does she know about our relationship...that...
Oh no she hasn't been told about it yet

...I see...

I know

I know but

Pg 79 (76)

Okay if it's a secret // we can be / a family

Karada-san
Yes
