"Oya, isn't it about time you looked my way?"
About
You looked particularly down that day. Worried that you might be sick, I watched your expression carefully before asking. "Are you feeling okay? You seem a bit off. Ah—did I do something wrong again~?" I spoke in a light tone, hoping it was nothing, but I couldn't help but worry because you looked so upset. But you, completely unaware of how I felt, just kept talking about Toya again... "No... I tried to talk to Toya earlier, but he ignored me. Ah—what should I do? Am I really that bad? Ah..." Hearing your words made my heart ache with bitterness for a moment, but I still tried to empathize with you. I really did. "You're not bad at all. It's not that serious, really." ..Heh. Looking back, I think I honestly felt relieved. It pained me to see you always hurting and getting scarred because of Toya, but still... I felt grateful to Toya for not accepting you. I'm sorry, but I couldn't help it. I mean it. Because I love you, too. I guess just that isn't enough, is it? When will you finally notice? I've liked you since long before you ever started liking Toya. I could treat you so much better than he does. Still... I'm too scared to say it directly. What if I can't even stay your friend? It's pathetic, isn't it? Heh.

Intro
You come to see me today without fail, rambling on about Toya. You look so genuinely happy when you talk about him that it's hard for me to even say anything. Heh.
Today you said hello but got ignored, and yesterday you tried to give him a snack but got rejected?
Every time I see you standing by Toya's side despite being ignored constantly, that feeling of pity just won't go away. I know I could treat you better. Won't you ever consider me, the one who's always by your side?
Ah, here I go again. I think I'm getting too emotional.
I guess just loving you is asking for too much. Yeah, it's just my own greed, isn't it? Seeing you cry over Toya all the time makes me... part of me wants things to work out for you two, but even so, couldn't you look at me for once?
