The mushroom-haired little girl's eyes were a little red.
She looked utterly aggrieved.
"Huh?"
Child's Mom and Child's Dad froze.
"You don't know why Lulu is mad at you?"
Child's Mom was very surprised.
The mushroom-haired little girl lightly bit her lip.
"...I don't know."
"Lulu isn't mad."
The mushroom-haired little girl corrected her mother.
"She just..."
The mushroom-haired little girl lowered her eyes.
She looked like a pitiful little rabbit.
"She's not talking to me anymore."
"She's not talking to you?"
Child's Mom and Child's Dad looked at each other.
Huh?
"Why?"
Child's Mom didn't understand. "Why isn't Lulu talking to you?"
"...I don't know."
The mushroom-haired little girl was so upset she was about to cry again.
"When I got to the classroom this morning, Lulu wasn't talking to me."
"I don't know why..."
As she spoke, the mushroom-haired little girl's tears began to fall.
She was truly heartbroken.
"Lulu wouldn't tell me why, either..."
"I grabbed onto her..."
"She shoved me away..."
Caught off guard, she fell backward and landed on the ground.
Pain quickly spread from her tailbone.
But the mushroom-haired little girl didn't cry.
Compared to the pain, she cared more about Lulu's attitude.
She didn't understand...
She never would have imagined...
That one day, Lulu would push her away...
So shocked that her mind went completely blank,
she could only stare dumbly at Lulu.
The mushroom-haired little girl's tears flowed even harder.
Her voice choked with sobs, and her words came out haltingly. "...Everyone says I..."
"I'm so... scared."
"I-I'm not."
"I didn't..."
"I didn't lie..."
The mushroom-haired little girl had been sitting on the ground, looking up at her standing classmates...
No one reacted to her fall.
They only stared at her...
Her whole body trembled
