"... Teach you... how to be happy?" Hashimoto Rie repeated in a whisper.
Very slowly, he turned back to look at her.
Her eyes were asking him a question.
"—'Why?'"
A lump appeared in his throat.
He tried to speak. To explain.
Because you are surrounded with people.
Because you keep smiling and grinning.
Because you always seem so bright and warm even though I never showed you any kindness.
He swallowed. He tried again.
Instead, all he could manage was a small, stiff nod.
Rie blinked.
Then after a second, her expression softened.
She gave him a look that seemed to say she understood.
She decided not to ask any further.
Instead, all she did was to look at him in the eye.
She held his gaze for a few moments.
Then, Rie offered him a small smile.
