As several students passed

I don’t consider myself to be the type of person that stands out and makes enemies, but I’m also not really the type of person that’s loved by others either If I were to involve myself with a hundred or so people, there’d probably be some that would absolutely not be able to stand ht try to frame me, I wasn’t the kind of person that took an active role in a group setting There were rant disinterest in class activities And, of course, even though I was then a recipient of all the cold, silent stares that judged me due to my nonparticipation, how should I put this, even then I was the kind of person that didn’t care Maybe it could even be called indifference

That said, I really didn’t want to approach the people that did genuinely hatewas even a testaard

That guy never shi+ed away fro with others, so he constantly showed his face everywhere As well as lent a hand And also ran histhat, it wasn’t like he was intrusive or anything Rather than being the type that said, “Leave it all to me,” he never pushed any further than, “Letirresponsible like that Occasionally, there were times when his intentions were misunderstood due to his incessant flippancy However in the end, even if he was fully aware that he was hated, he would still go out there regardless Essentially, he was even less concerned about what others thought of him than I was Perhaps this was also indifference

Setting aside if it’s even true or not, Chitanda believed that Ōhinata quitting was her fault and took the responsibility for it on herself Even had I shaht be able to help, so please tell me the entire story,” she would have likely just shook her head silently She was the kind of person that wouldn’t bend after so like that
