The Feelings I Want to Write Down

Backstage Stories
Masumi
Tsuzuru…Masumi?
Masumi
TsuzuruOi, Masumi.
Masumi
TsuzuruDon’t ignore me!
Masumi…What?
TsuzuruAck… I was a little worried so I called out to you.
I’m relieved you’re operating as normal though, in a way.
MasumiWorried? Why though?
TsuzuruYou’ve been silently lost in thought for a while, so I was wondering if something was wrong.
MasumiI was just thinking about the most important thing in this world after Director. …But I was interrupted by you.
TsuzuruOh, sorry for interrupting.
But by the looks of it, you weren’t thinking about anything worth mentioning anyways.
MasumiI 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
TsuzuruIs that silence a yes!
MasumiI won’t make the same mistake as last time.
I’ll do it better this year.
TsuzuruLet’s say you do a good job with the wrapping, do you think Director would be happy to receive that?
MasumiShe will.
TsuzuruAn 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.
TsuzuruThat’s…
Ummm, something simpler, I guess?
Masumi…What do you mean?
TsuzuruFor example… a letter or something.
Masumi*Sigh*.
What the heck, that’s way too cliché.
TsuzuruUh… 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
TsuzuruIf 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
TsuzuruUm, hold on a minute, Masumi!
Masumi…What?
TsuzuruWhat’s with that mountain of paper!
MasumiI’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?
TsuzuruI mean, it’s true I said that, but that’s way too much no matter how you look at it!
MasumiWhen I wrote my honest feelings for Director down, it ended up like this.
Or rather, it’s still not enough at all.
TsuzuruEhhh…
What are you writing so much about?
MasumiIn 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…
TsuzuruAre 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.
MasumiBut I want her to know all of my feelings.
TsuzuruThat 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?
MasumiThen what length would work?
TsuzuruEh? Ummm, let’s see…
I guess around 5 pages at most?
Masumi5 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?)
MasumiFrom 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.)
MasumiDirector’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…!)
MasumiDirector.
IzumiMasumi-kun? What’s up?
MasumiHere…
IzumiThis letter.. is for me?
MasumiIt’s packed to the max with my feelings…
So I want you to accept it.
IzumiMasumi-kun… Fufu, thank you.
I’ll read it when I go back to my room later, ok?
Masumi…Yeah.
*door opens*
Tsuzuru
IzumiHuh, you look totally exhausted, Tsuzuru-kun—are you alright…!?
Were you writing a script or something just now?
TsuzuruMasumi… this is… your… fault.
*faints*
IzumiEH, hold on, Tsuzuru-kun!?
Are you ok!?
Masumi...?
