Chapter 9:

New feelings

the person who gave me feelings


Nijime usually wakes up at 7am, unlike every day she’s waking up today at 6:30am. She takes a shower as usual, wears her school uniform, takes her bag, and gets out of the house at 7:30, she takes today a longer way to the high school, she’s walking alone, she can barely see the sun’s light, as she walks she smiles, sometimes she accelerates, she jumps, and her senses comes back. Then restarts the same process over again, until she sees him, he’s wearing a black shirt, his boring friendly face makes her feel a strange warmth.

Good morning, Nijime, he says.Hi, she answers, did I tell before that your face looks boring My eyes hurt me if I open them more than that

They laughed and headed to high school.

For the first time, everything is completely normal, these ordinary vibes coming out of the high school may be a sign of peace, it seems like Saiga isn’t happy with this moment of peace.

It’s time for him now to experience a new feeling called boredom.

Saiga was stopping himself from feeling all the time so he didn’t even think of finding his interests and enjoying, now he’s able to feel, which involuntarily activated him, so he’ll need to start a journey to find himself. In the lunch break, he went to to talk to Nijime, he announced with a confused face:

Nijime, I don’t feel alright, I feel like I want to do something but I don’t know what to do.What?!? She answers while laughing, are you bored for the first time, she keeps, I don’t know sometimes how did you live until the moment.Shall we check the school’s clubs to find out what does he like exactly, Mia says.

So they did, the three checked many clubs:

Football club, mystery club, drawing club, almost none of them captivated his attention, except a new club with only few members called, astronomy club.

For Saiga, this club’s atmosphere seemed nostalgic, a memory that he can’t remember is moving something inside him,

“A quiet rainy night, the body of a dead woman, a little sleeping baby”

From there was his start, from there his important things were stolen from him, his family, his feelings and himself.

He needed a whole 16 years to notice that all these things were close, the uncle and his wife were playing the role of his parents, the uncle’s daughter considered him as a big brother, Nijime, Mia, Yuuta, he always had a family, but he was running away from his feelings because he was afraid from himself.

But from now on he will live completely his life, and will enjoy every new feeling he discovers.
