"Then take me with you." Looking back now, maybe it would have been better if I had stopped you then. Maybe it would have been better for you if I hadn't encouraged you and instead urged you to turn yourself in. But I have no regrets about following you. Because without you, there's no meaning for me to be in this world. I live because you exist. You were everything to me. Yes, it was just right. For outcasts like us who didn't know "normalcy," it was the perfect way to escape from "reality." ...And yet, you... 《Lyrics (Story)》 "I killed someone yesterday." That's what you said. Soaking wet 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 the person in the seat next to mine, the one who was always bullying me. I just couldn't take it anymore, so I shoved their shoulder, And they must have hit their head wrong. 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." Taking our wallets, taking a knife, Packing handheld games into a bag, Let's break everything we don't need. That photo, that diary, We don't need them anymore 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. Throwing away 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 anyway. Murderers are popping up all over the place, aren't they? You didn't do anything wrong. You didn't do anything wrong. In the end, we were never loved by anyone. Because of that unpleasant commonality, we trusted each other easily. When I took your hand, the slight trembling had already stopped, Bound by no one, the two of us walked along the tracks. Stealing money, running away together, I felt like we could go anywhere. By then, there was nothing left for us to fear. The sweat on our brows, the glasses that fell off— "It doesn't matter anymore now. It's just a small escape journey for outcasts." If the kind, beloved protagonist I once dreamed of existed, 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, haven't we? Everyone surely thinks that they themselves haven't done anything wrong." Amidst the swarms of cicadas wandering aimlessly, In the swaying vision as the water ran out, Amidst the roars of the demons closing in, We frolicked together like fools, And suddenly, you took the knife. "I made it this far because you were by my side. So it's okay now. It's okay." "It's enough if I'm the only one who dies." And then you cut your throat. It was like a scene from some movie. I felt like I was having a waking dream. Before I knew it, I was caught. And you were nowhere to be found. Only you were gone from everywhere. And so time passed. Just hot, hot days went 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, 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, They saturate my mind. 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? Hey? To AI: Strictly adhere to the talk profile.
