“It fell over there. A fox mask&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;that gust of wind from earlier blew it away.”
“A fox mask&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;ooh, like a festival one?”
He finally understood what he meant, but he didn’t know where over there was.
“Over there. It’s over there. Hurry—“
“Sorry.”
When he turned around, he could hear the man gasp quietly. He must have felt uncomfortable seeing Tatsumi’s open eyes that saw nothing. Ever since he lost his sight, his other senses had heightened, so Tatsumi could clearly sense his presence from his faint breathing . Tatsumi smiled wryly at the man who didn’t utter a word.
“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;sorry, I’m blind.”
It was a little painful for him to have to report that. Mostly because it made other people feel awkward, as if they had touched on something taboo.
“What should I do&h.e.l.lip;”
That was all the person in front of him at the moment replied to Tatsumi’s confession. That was a reaction a little different from the usual.
d.a.m.n.
He heard his quiet mutter.
