Quotes by Risa Wataya (?)

“Nhưng có một tấm màn mỏng giăng quanh bọn họ. Tấm màn giăng rộng dần ra cùng những nụ cười và ánh mắt đan vào nhau. Một tấm màn mỏng, trong suốt, nhưng chắc chắn như làm bằng cao su, hễ tôi run run chạm tay vào là liền nhẹ nhàng bị đẩy ra. Và sau mỗi lần bị đẩy ra như thế, tôi lại trở nên cô độc hơn cả khi không nói chuyện với ai.”
― Risa Wataya
