November 25th
Outside is scary. The men at the restaurant yelled so much during Thanksgiving.
Kaede hears how Kaede-san was hurt by outside people as well. Her parents do not say, but Kaede knows.
Are all outside people like that?
And when she went outside, the rain was nothing like Kaede wanted. The rain is wet and cold and made Kaede shiver and got into her clothes. The clouds are just another roof from the blue sky, like the hospital.
The hospital has a warm bed and pudding, and Big Brother.
Kaede doesn't need to go outside.
