Before the summer vacation, it was time for Abe-kun to move to another
school again, and our teacher decided that all his classmates should
shake his hand, one by one, to say good-bye.
:53:18
The feeling that no one really wanted to do this spread out
immediately.
:53:25
Some lines of dirt were visible on Abe-kun's palm.
:53:32
He walked around shaking everyone's hand, but it was obvious that
Abe-kun was being teased a lot.
:53:46
He was supposed to shake hands with me at the end. But when I reached
out, Abe-kun said,
:54:02
``I'm not gonna shake hands with you.''
:54:08
``I'm not gonna shake hands with you...''
:54:21
The one who was thinking the most... that Abe-kun was dirty, was me.
:54:29
Abe-kun must have known this, in fact. So that's why he didn't let me
shake his hand...
:54:45
May I ask what happened at the farmhouse?
:54:49
I have been such a person since I was a child. I just act nice.
