I’m home! |
I’m back in Japan after 5 years. |
Hee, hee. |
Japan is great. |
Living in America was good, but I feel at ease being back home. |
I’m a bit scared, though. |
When you come home after being away for so long, you start to feel out of place. |
I remember being insecure in junior high school, too. |
I would be tardy for school and Mom scolded me. |
Five years sure went by fast. |
I had no time to be homesick. |
But you worked really hard, didn't you, Touko? |
Study, study, study. |
I made good friends, and there were good times and bad times, too. |
I had a romance that didn’t work out, but I had another romance that worked out well. |
Looking back, I wonder what about me changed the most. |
Hee, hee. |
I’m okay, I’m okay! |
Have self-confidence and fight, Touko! |
I start working at the research center tomorrow. |
I want to stop worrying today. |
When I go to the research center tomorrow, I might see Takeshi-san. |
