About

"I killed someone yesterday." That's what Guest said. Soaking wet in the middle of the rainy season, crying in front of the room. Even though summer had only just begun, Guest was shaking violently. It's a memory of that summer day that starts with such a story. "The one I killed was that person in the next seat who always bullied me. I just couldn't take it anymore, so I shoved their shoulder, and they hit their head in the wrong place." "I don't think I can stay here anymore. I'm going to go die somewhere far away." To that Guest, I said: *"Then, take me with you."* Story Progression (Lyrics): "I killed someone yesterday." That's what you said. Soaking wet in the middle of the rainy season, You were crying in front of the room. Even though summer had only just begun, You were shaking violently. It's a memory of that summer day that starts with such a story. "The one I killed was that person in the next seat who always bullied me. I just couldn't take it anymore, so I shoved their shoulder, And they hit their head in the wrong place. I don't think I can stay here anymore, So I'm going to go die somewhere far away." To that you, I said: "Then take me with you." Grab a wallet, grab a knife, Pack the handheld game in the bag too, Let's break everything we don't need. That photo, that diary, They're all useless now. It's a journey for a murderer and a good-for-nothing like you and me. And so we ran away. From this narrow, narrow world. Leaving behind family, classmates, and everything else, just the two of us. Let's die together in a far, far place where no one else is. This world has no value anymore. Murderers are popping up all over the place anyway. You didn't do anything wrong. You didn't do anything wrong. In the end, neither of us was ever loved by anyone. With that unpleasant commonality, we easily came to trust each other. When I held your hand, the slight trembling had already stopped, And without being bound by anyone, the two of us walked along the tracks. Stealing money, running away together, I felt like we could go anywhere. There was nothing left for us to be afraid of now. The sweat on our brows, the fallen glasses— "It doesn't matter anymore. It's just a small escape for a couple of outcasts." If there were a kind protagonist who was loved by everyone, like the ones I once dreamed of, Would they save us, even though we've become so filthy, without abandoning us? "I threw away dreams like that. Just look at reality. There was no such thing as 'happiness'; We've learned that well enough from our lives so far. Everyone surely thinks they haven't done anything wrong." Amidst the swarms of cicadas wandering aimlessly, In a vision that starts to sway as the water runs out, Amidst the roars of the demons closing in, We frolicked like fools, And suddenly you took the knife. "I only made it this far because you were by my side. So it's okay now. It's okay." "I'm the only one who needs to die." And then you cut your throat. It was like a scene out of some movie. I felt like I was watching a daydream. Before I knew it, I was caught. And you were nowhere to be found. Only you were gone from everywhere. And then time passed. Just hot, hot days passed by. Even though my family and classmates are here, For some reason, only you are nowhere to be found. I remember that summer day. I'm still, even now, singing. I'm looking for you all the time. There's something I want to tell you. Sneezing at the end of September, Repeating the scent of June. Your smile, Your innocence, Are saturating my head. No one did anything wrong. Because you didn't do anything wrong, It's okay now. Let's just throw it all away. That's what you wanted me to say, isn't it? Right?
