There were things Midori could not talk about. Sad thoughts accumulated, vague thoughts that she could not define herself—thoughts that would never have come to the Midori of yesterday. How was she to describe the shame she felt? If only she could hide in a dark room, speaking to no one and showing her face to no one. She might have gloomy thoughts even then, but surely she would not be driven to these extremes of depression if it were not for the embarrassment of having to meet people. Ah, if she could go on forever with her dolls and her cutouts, if she could go on playing house, what a joy it would be.
We just want to show a little life.
