The Feelings I Want to Write Down
Backstage Stories| Masumi | … |
| Tsuzuru | …Masumi? |
| Masumi | … |
| Tsuzuru | Oi, Masumi. |
| Masumi | … |
| Tsuzuru | Don’t ignore me! |
| Masumi | …What? |
| Tsuzuru | Ack… I was a little worried so I called out to you. |
| I’m relieved you’re operating as normal though, in a way. | |
| Masumi | Worried? Why though? |
| Tsuzuru | You’ve been silently lost in thought for a while, so I was wondering if something was wrong. |
| Masumi | I was just thinking about the most important thing in this world after Director. …But I was interrupted by you. |
| Tsuzuru | Oh, sorry for interrupting. |
| But by the looks of it, you weren’t thinking about anything worth mentioning anyways. | |
| Masumi | I was thinking about a White Day present for Director. |
| Tsuzuru | …Well, it'll be that time of the year in a few days, huh? |
| No, don’t tell me you’re gonna wrap up and give yourself to Director like before? | |
| Masumi | … |
| Tsuzuru | Is that silence a yes! |
| Masumi | I won’t make the same mistake as last time. |
| I’ll do it better this year. | |
| Tsuzuru | Let’s say you do a good job with the wrapping, do you think Director would be happy to receive that? |
| Masumi | She will. |
| Tsuzuru | An immediate answer! *Sigh*, if you don’t choose with more consideration towards the recipient’s side, you’ll be disliked instead. |
| Masumi | …Then tell me what kind of thing she would like. |
| Tsuzuru | That’s… |
| Ummm, something simpler, I guess? | |
| Masumi | …What do you mean? |
| Tsuzuru | For example… a letter or something. |
| Masumi | …*Sigh*. |
| What the heck, that’s way too cliché. | |
| Tsuzuru | Uh… I can’t deny that it’s cliché. |
| But you’re putting your feelings into words and writing them down so they’ll be conveyed to your partner in a way that’s easy to understand. | |
| When you read the letters you get from the audience, you feel the other person’s emotions and you also feel happier, don’t you? | |
| Masumi | … |
| Tsuzuru | If you write your honest feelings down into a letter, then I think Director would accept it too, wouldn’t she? |
| Masumi | ...I'll add that as a possible option. |
| Tsuzuru | (Hm…? What’s Masumi doing…?) |
| Masumi | … |
| Tsuzuru | Um, hold on a minute, Masumi! |
| Masumi | …What? |
| Tsuzuru | What’s with that mountain of paper! |
| Masumi | I’m writing my letter to Director right now so don’t get in the way. |
| You’re the one who said a letter was a good idea, weren't you? | |
| Tsuzuru | I mean, it’s true I said that, but that’s way too much no matter how you look at it! |
| Masumi | When I wrote my honest feelings for Director down, it ended up like this. |
| Or rather, it’s still not enough at all. | |
| Tsuzuru | Ehhh… |
| What are you writing so much about? | |
| Masumi | In the morning, she tripped over nothing. Her clumsy side is adorable too… |
| For breakfast, she spread butter on her toast. That was homely and cute… | |
| Tsuzuru | Are you going to write everything from morning ‘til night like that? |
| Geez… Um, Masumi. Letters are written by carefully choosing the things really you want to convey. | |
| Masumi | But I want her to know all of my feelings. |
| Tsuzuru | That might be so, but think about Director who’s going to receive all of that. |
| It’d be hard for her to read if it’s too long, you know? | |
| Masumi | Then what length would work? |
| Tsuzuru | Eh? Ummm, let’s see… |
| I guess around 5 pages at most? | |
| Masumi | 5 pages… |
| Tsuzuru | (Mm… what time is it right now?) |
| (What the, it’s still nighttime, huh? Let’s go back to sleep.) | |
| Masumi | …And, …so—. |
| *Mutter, mutter*… | |
| Tsuzuru | (Masumi, that guy, he’s staring a hole into his paper… |
| Is he still writing his letter to Director?) | |
| Masumi | From the moment we first met… Wait, no. |
| From our past life, Director and I are definitely… This won’t do either. | |
| 5 pages is too short, *sigh*… | |
| But I have to do this, for her. | |
| Tsuzuru | (He's finally taking my advice seriously, huh? |
| In that case, Director will have no trouble accepting his letter.) | |
| Masumi | Director’s smiling face is… *mutter, mutter*. |
| Our destiny is… *grumble, grumble*. | |
| Tsuzuru | … |
| (I can’t sleep at all since I’m bothered by Masumi’s voice revising his letter…!) | |
| Masumi | Director. |
| Izumi | Masumi-kun? What’s up? |
| Masumi | Here… |
| Izumi | This letter.. is for me? |
| Masumi | It’s packed to the max with my feelings… |
| So I want you to accept it. | |
| Izumi | Masumi-kun… Fufu, thank you. |
| I’ll read it when I go back to my room later, ok? | |
| Masumi | …Yeah. |
| *door opens* | |
| Tsuzuru | … |
| Izumi | Huh, you look totally exhausted, Tsuzuru-kun—are you alright…!? |
| Were you writing a script or something just now? | |
| Tsuzuru | Masumi… this is… your… fault. |
| *faints* | |
| Izumi | EH, hold on, Tsuzuru-kun!? |
| Are you ok!? | |
| Masumi | ...? |
