Hanako's route: Difference between revisions

Line 56:

A little while later Hisao is attempting to study history at the Shanghai. [[Yuuko]] attempts to help him, but doesn't specialise in Japanese history and isn't of much help. Hanako arrives soon after but Hisao focuses more on his school work than conversation with her. To his surprise, Hanako waits him out and the two walk home together. After returning to the dorms, he attempts to write a reply to Iwanako but despite his efforts he cannot produce a response. As the week goes by Hisao continues his new study regime, but he begins to feel Hanako's absence due to the lack of time spent with her.

One evening he goes to her room and after the usual stilted greeting is suddenly frustrated at having to 'tiptoe' around Hanako despite their friendship. Acting on impulse, Hisao decides that he had to break through to her and unbuttons his shirt to reveal the scar from his surgery. He uses it to explain to Hanako that she's not alone, and that while his scarring is not as noticeable or severe, it also marks him as someone 'not normal'. Hanako says that she understands and Hisao realizes that he has now overcome his past, and he needs to let Hanako try to overcome hers ~~ijn~~ order to move on in life.

Later Hisao is shopping in the city when someone calls him on his cellphone. A very nervous Hanako asks Hisao to meet her at a cafe, surprising Hisao by revealing that she came into the city by herself, in daylight with so many pedestrians about. The two talk for a while and Hanako explains that she was bullied in middle-school and grade-school because of her appearance after the fire. To his surprise, Hisao learns that Hanako genuinely doesn't like spending time with people and doesn't mind not having many friends. As a gift of their friendship, Hisao buys her a strap for her cellphone, waving off her confused protests. Hanako is deeply touched by this gesture and the two go back to school together.
