There, I could connect to people. It's not like the real world, where I mess up such stupid things as one line in a play.
 
 
 
Writing is so much easier than speaking. It doesn't make me freeze in place and shiver and want to cry.
 
 
 
On the Wired, people listen to what I say. I don't have to seal my voice away, like I do in the real world, scared of saying something wrong and being hated.
 
 
 
That's why I always wanted to live on the Wired.
 
 
 
Maybe someday, I'll be able to.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
There's this girl in another class called Iwakura Lain.
 
 
 
She's quiet, like me. I think she's lonely, too.
 
 
 
Today, I walked home together with her.
 
 
 
We didn't really talk about anything, but it was nice being beside her.
 
 
 
She felt familiar. Maybe it's because I saw myself in her, but it seems like something else.
 
 
 
Oh, I get it.
 
 
 
Being with her feels like being on the Wired.
