Inspiration from Ritzen's "Untitled".
Hint: Aoko and Akako are talking.
Someone dropped a pencil on the ground.
I see. What does that matter, though?
It's black. I thought you liked the color black.
White is my favorite color now.
It is? But didn't you say that you'd always like black?
Hm, so I did. No matter. I lied.
No. You're lying now.
Am I? The last time I checked, people couldn't just read minds.
You are forgetting who I am. What do you actually know about me?
Red is your favorite color, right? It's you.
Humph. I've always liked black. But black has always been more suiting for you. I can't see you liking the color white.
Get used to it. It's not like it's ever going to change again.
Stop! You keep lying to me!
What do you mean? I've only told the truth during this entire conversation.
Ah.
Ah?
I understand now. Well, don't ever forget black. It was your first favorite, remember that.
Pshaw! That sentimental stuff is for kids.
I'm serious.
Yeah, right. You're the last person I'd think to be into that type of thing.
Listen to me! This isn't like you. You think that you can just replace black with white, but that's impossible! Don't try to replace it. Let it take a place in your memories, forever.
If you like that stupid color so much, why don't you just marry it?
Last year, I'd say that to you.
Well, it's true that I once liked it, but I don't anymore. I'm over it.
Don't lie.
Whatever. I guess I'll just take the pencil.
So, do you admit that you still like that color?
Yes, but I don't know exactly why I'm lying about it...
That doesn't matter. Just take the pencil and get on with your life.
It's broken.
That stinks.
Don't be so sarcastic. You're the one who wanted me to take it.
I told you about it well before that man stepped on it.
Well, could I just tape it back together?
No. There's nothing to be done with it now. Throw it out.
I don't want to.
Do I look like I care?
But you were the one who seemed so interested in it.
If I was, then I would've taken the pencil for myself.
You're sad. It's my fault, isn't it? I ruined the gift you gave me.
No, you didn't. What happened to it was its own fault.
I don't believe you. It was that man's doing, with his stupid shoe.
So? What are you going to do – chase that man?
Why would I do that? If I caught him, I wouldn't have anything to do with him.
You're going to let him off the hook, then?
Yes. I know better than to mess with him.
How come? You haven't even spoken to him.
He has a big shoe.
