'Wow! Clang! Clang!!'

Today, too, he broke the mirror without fail.

"Haa...haa..."

He lost her a while ago.

Also, with the loss of her, he lost his positivity...his smile.

He tried his best to laugh... to smile...

I thought that if I could just get my smile back, I could get her back.

But things didn't go his way

The corners of his lips, trembling and not rising, only aroused his anger, not a smile.

He hated himself so much that he broke the mirror.

"Sob..sob..sob...sob.."

He shed tears of frustration at the injustice that was pressing upon him.

It's not like I'm trying to put back together the smiles I shed before, like picking up puzzle pieces.

I thought, "Smiling... is it really this difficult to smile just once?"

He was getting more and more tired.

He thought he was good at laughing.

But as time passes in a world without her...

I felt like I wouldn't even be able to make a smile that would bring her back.

Because I couldn't laugh because she wasn't there...

Instead of a smile that wouldn't come, he forced a laugh.

"ha ha ha...."

It was his final farewell to his positivity.

His positivity and his smile were nothing more than a morsel in the face of her denial.
