Izumi Homare-san, what would you like to drink? Homare … Izumi Why don’t we start with beer for now? Homare …Very well. Izumi Are you all right? Homare I am sorry for the trouble. Izumi It’s nothing… Homare The truth is, I do not understand other people’s minds. I was called a “broken cyborg” by my ex-lover. And I am exactly that. Izumi But there’s no one who can actually… Homare It’s not that. What I do not understand is people’s train of thought itself. I can only think in extremely logical thoughts and artistic thoughts. I cannot understand the thought processes of ordinary people that belong in neither of those categories. Izumi (O-ordinary people…? That sounds really condescending, but he’s speaking earnestly…) Homare …However, it is very sad. I often made my lover cry because of it. But I could not comprehend even the reason for that.

I may hurt them again… Izumi They’ll understand if you explain it to them thoroughly. Anyway, please try to talk with them. Homare … … Talk with them, huh… How on earth should I talk with them… …Hm? What is this…? “Truthful Magnifying Glass”…? C-could this be…!? No no, it’s surely a prank. The fact that the words “Truthful Magnifying Glass” are even written on the handle is absolutely suspicious in itself. … But if I just try to take a peep through it… Of course I do not believe it… but, just in case. Manager Now then, let’s go clean up the storeroom~ Homare … Manager “I’ve been cleaning the storeroom for a month now but I’m not even halfway done~ What a bummer~ I don’t wanna do it~” Homare !! Manager Clean up, clean up~ Homare I can read his mind…! As long I have this, I can…
