Chapter 5

(Me: I apologize but, I had a very hard time overall translating this chapter.)

She was worrying. What should she do. The time had come when she absolutely had to decide. She had to come to a standpoint quickly and the cruel day kept going past.

She tried to weigh the decisions. Her body would not be able to go back to what it was. She realized it had already come to its limits.

So she had come to a place where she had to decide something and had to take action. She couldn't put it off, because everyone was slowly beginning to catch wind of what was going on. Ah, but.

But even before that, there was a problem. She could enter the building but, she would not be able to do it.

First, she stood determinedly in front of the cloudy class door. Soon the door would open, and she would not be able to do what would happen. She worried for about five minutes and ended up retreating away. Students in their Lilian Seifukus walked in the view in front of her, a place she couldn't enter. She had entered the building once, and no-one else could enter it. She loitered about but absolutely no-one could see her. (Me: The tone of this sentence was weird, I couldn't translate it all that well.)

She had to decide quickly, so that she would talk to someone, then be tied forcibly to the operation table. But at this late hour, it was getting later.

``I won't go.''

She whispered, while not being able to lift up her hair. For some time, on the desk, a cash card and an insurance card had been waiting. Whether the insurance had come, and when, she couldn't really keep in sight. - - Anyways, this was her first time doing this. (Me: Gah, this is also really hard to translate.)

``Well, it'll probably be better eventually if I go to the general hospital.''

That was not a very odd thing to do, and and best of all everyone could see her, and she could loiter there.

In spite of this, she had lived ten years and still could not pinch it. It seemed nothing would change, just like her nothing changed with her swollen ear earlier.

But, every person worried that their body would become useless.

Eventually, a broken human body could not move, almost just like a machine. The normally capable woman sighed hopelessly.
