Today is my birthday. I have lived for 18 years in this world. Luckily, this special day I will get to see that special person and hear my beloved one congratulating me for having lived until now with the two-worded phrase. That alone, that greeting, those short seconds where I am his centre of his attention will be enough to make me happy and plant a seed of hope in my heart.
"It appears that we have a birthday today." The emerald-eyed homeroom teacher said, "And it must be celebrated because society tells us so."
The young man in the hakama took a deep breath and continued, facing his startled students once again.
"Do we have to celebrate our birthday? Seeing how many laws require certain age to do things, it would be near impossible not to take birthdays into account." Chiri Kitsu raised her hand but his teacher ignored her. "We mustn't celebrate birthdays! We must not celebrate being alive! Birthdays should be the gloomiest days of all!"
The school bell rang, announcing lunchtime. Nozomu Itoshiki dismissed his students and drank his bottle of water. However, he was interrupted when a student approached him.
"Sensei."
"What is it?"
"... uh, nothing." Jun left. He went towards the school roof, sat on the top and stared at the deep blue sky and cotton clouds after the scar was planted instead of the seed.
He cried and skipped the next lesson.
