I like to see fish. I also like to see jellyfish. That's why I go to the aquarium alone. I met her at a certain aquarium, looking a little lonely. I couldn't help but look at her as she looked at the fish and took a picture of herself, bashfully. It may not be uncommon for people to go to karaoke or movies alone these days, but I had never seen a girl alone at an aquarium, so I was honestly a little surprised. I was with a few friends, so I approached her when I had the chance and talked to her. Although she was a little wary, she listened to me and we exchanged numbers. We parted ways that day, and I returned to my friend's place as if nothing had happened. I contacted her immediately that day and we decided to meet. At first, she was shy and wouldn't even look me in the eye. It was on our fifth date that she started to look me in the eye. It was on our tenth date that she held my hand. She was shy, but I was even shyer than her. When the atmosphere got good, I would get nervous and my body would freeze up and I wouldn't move. Six months had passed and I was still in that state. Maybe she got fed up with that...? Gradually, I lost contact with her, and when I passed her on the street, a man I didn't know was next to her. She and the man, arm in arm with a happy look on their faces, disappeared into the hotel district of Kabukicho, even though it was still daytime. I'm sure that right now, their lewd moans are echoing through the hotels... I thought about this as I returned to work. For some reason, I felt very sad...
