` Step by step, firmly planting her feet on each step, she was slow.`\
; 一段一段、それぞれの段に別れを告げるかのように、ゆっくり、ゆっくり。@

; 校庭からは部活に汗を流す生徒たちの、元気な声が聞こえてくる。@
` She could hear the energetic voices of the students sweating during their club activities in the schoolyard.`@`
br
; しかし、放課後の校内は、吐息さえ木霊してしまうのではないかと思うほどに静か。\
` However, the inside of school after classes had ended was so silent that even a deep sigh would reverberate and echo.`\
; だから、校庭からの元気な声がとても遠く聞こえ、@なのに自分のいる校内は、まるで別世界のように静まり返っていて。@
` So even though she could hear those distant energetic voices from the courtyard, `@`where she resided inside the school seemed like a different world shrouded in silence.`@
br
; それが、自分と彼らがどれほど遠く、@そして決して交わることのない世界にいるかを教えてくれた。\
` That was how far she was separated from them,`@` and it told her that they were in a world she could never cross back into again.`\

` And there, the door to the rooftop.`\
; 屋上という名の行き止まりを意味するそこは、少女にとっての終着駅であり、@………でも彼女はそこを、新たな出発の場所だと信じていた。\
` That dead-end place known as the rooftop was her last stop,`@` ...but she believed that it was the point of a new departure.`\

; 少女は腕に痛々しく包帯を巻いていた。@
` The girl's arms were painfully wrapped in bandages.`@
br
; スカートの陰でわからないが、その足にも、ひどい傷痕が未だに残っている。\
` Although difficult to make out beneath the shadow of her skirt, even her legs had traces of terrible lingering scars.`\
; それらの傷は、いじめや事故によるものではない。@
` Those scars weren't caused by bullying or by accident.`@

` Everyone was foolish, stupid, `@`and it's pointless to live in ignorance like idiots.`@

` And so, the girl held no sadness at all in her expression.`@

` But what she did have was contempt and pity for all the humans in this world, but most of all, anger.`@

` ...For her unique soul, `@`being born into the wrong world ― a world like this, she overflowed with anger towards the heavens.`\
; 彼女にとって、自分を理解できないこの世界の無理解は全て、腹立たしいものだった。@
` For her, everything she couldn't understand about this incomprehensible world was frustrating.`@
br
; それどころか、自分の知性を理解できず、自分を彼らと同じ存在として扱おうとする、@両親や教師、あるいはクラスメートたちと同じ空気を吸うことが、もはや我慢ならなかった。\
` Even worse, her parents, teachers, and her classmates, unable to understand her intelligence, treated her as the same as everyone else. `@`Before long, she could no longer stand breathing the same air as they did.`\

` Being sent to the infirmary and hospital for severe wounds offered her a moment of protection.`\
; そして、保健室や病院は、自分の価値をわずかに理解し、@私に与えられるに相応しい待遇を、わずかにだけ与えてくれる。@
` And those hospitals and infirmaries were able to somewhat recognize the value of her existence, `@`so they'd give her the appropriate treatment.`@
