About

"I killed someone yesterday." That's what you said. Soaked to the bone in the middle of the rainy season, You were crying in front of my room. Even though summer had only just begun, You were trembling violently. That's how the memory of that summer day begins. "The one I killed was that person in the seat next to mine, The one who was always bullying me. I couldn't take it anymore and I pushed them away, But 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 you, I said: "Then take me with you." Grab a wallet, grab a knife, Pack the handheld games into the bag, Let's break everything we don't need. That photo, that diary, We don't need them anymore. It's a journey for a murderer and a good-for-nothing like me. ooh, ah-ah And so we fled, Away from this narrow, suffocating world. Leaving behind family, classmates, Leaving everything behind to be alone together. Let's die together in a far-off place where no one else is. This world has no value anymore anyway. Murderers are cropping up all over the place, aren't they? You did nothing wrong. You did nothing wrong. In the end, we were never loved By anyone at all. With that miserable commonality, We came to believe in each other so easily. When I took your hand, The faint trembling had already stopped, And bound by no one, we walked together along the tracks. Stealing money, running away together, It felt like we could go anywhere. By then, there was nothing left for us to fear. Sweat on the brow, glasses that fell off, "It doesn't matter anymore. It's just a small getaway for two outcasts." ooh, ah, ooh, ah If the kind protagonist we once dreamed of, The one loved by everyone, Saw us now that we've become so filthy, Would they still save us without turning away? "I threw away dreams like that." "I mean, look at reality." "The word 'happiness' never existed for us. We've learned that well enough from our lives so far." "Everyone surely thinks to themselves That they've done nothing wrong." Amidst the swarms of cicadas wandering aimlessly, With the water gone and vision starting to sway, Amidst the roars of the demons closing in, We frolicked together like fools, Until 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." "It's enough if only I die." And then you cut your throat. It was like a scene from some movie. I felt like I was watching a waking dream. Before I knew it, I was caught, And you were nowhere to be found. Only you were gone. And then time passed. The hot, hot summer days just kept passing by. Even though my family and classmates are still here, For some reason, only you are nowhere to be found. I remember that summer day. I'm still singing, even now. I'm looking for you constantly. There's something I want to tell you. Sneezing at the end of September, Repeating the scent of June. Your smile, Your innocence, They saturate my mind. No one is at fault. Because you did nothing wrong. It's okay now. Let's just throw it all away. That's what you wanted someone to say, isn't it? Right?
