❤️Updating Every Saturday Evening (Japan Time)

(Translated and Arranged by Saya)

A new boy transferred to our class at school.

He was always lying face down on his desk,  looking depressed. It seemed like he hadn’t made one single friend yet.

I assumed he was very shy. Feeling sorry for him, I decided to try chatting with him.

“You aren’t looking very happy. Did anything bad happen to you?”

He looked startled by my question and was a little hesitant at first, but at length started telling me the following story:

******

The cause of his depression stemmed from an incident that happened about a month ago, before he transferred to our school.

One day he was playing a video game in his own room at home when he noticed that one of the ceiling boards above his head had slightly slipped out of place.

Using a chair, he climbed up into the attic, and with a flashlight examined his surroundings, in the hope of finding out the cause of the dislodgement.

Surprisingly, it was so much more spacious inside the attic than he had imagined, to the point that it appeared almost boundless.  

His spirit of adventure being aroused, he soon forgot about the dislodged ceiling board, and began exploring the attic.

After a while though, the flashlight went out, apparently because the battery had run out, and a sudden darkness descended on the place.

Stricken with panic, he tried to return to his room, but he had already ventured so far out that he could no longer see the light from the room. 

Now he was totally lost inside the attic.

Not knowing what else to do, he continued to walk around, searching for his room, but in the complete darkness it was easy to lose one’s sense of direction, and soon he was not sure whether he was going forward or backward, or left or right. 

He walked on and on aimlessly until he perceived something shining in a distance.

Thinking that it must finally be his room, he picked up the pace and walked towards the light as fast as he could.

However, as he drew near to it, it became apparent that it was not his room.

This might be hard to believe, but it was a light from a town he had never seen before. 

Curiously, a large town existed inside the attic, and he was seeing the lights of the town from afar. 

As he didn’t feel he had any other choice, he  plucked up the courage and dived into the town.

******

As soon as he finished his story, he heaved a heavy sigh, and burst into tears.

I was baffled by his outburst, but tried my best to calm him down.

“It sounds like you went through quite an ordeal. But you have managed to return to your room in the end, yes? You shouldn’t feel so upset.”

When I said that, he slowly shook his head and replied: 

“I haven’t managed to get out of the town yet.”
