It's a lot shorter than the previous chapters, but I didn't want to ramble on about it. I want to let these words sink in. Hm… let's see how that turns out…
Enjoy!
Chapter 5: Then out
Mom… I've been such a fool. I've always been.
I've known all along… that I could never stay here.
But… I've always found myself thinking that… the Sohma's… were my family.
When I think about the way I feel whenever we sat and enjoyed a meal together…
Or how we smiled and laughed with each other…
Or even just the simple 'I'm home' when I come back from school…
They really did feel like my family.
And I thought we could always stay together…
But I guess I was wrong. Just like what everybody else used to say.
A riceball doesn't belong in a fruits basket.
