The Darkness Spun By My Fingertips
Teacher: Next, page 60 of the textbook. Yanagiba-san is today's day monitor. Will you read it out loud?
Panda: Yes.
Daikoku: yawn
Daikoku: (A notification...... What is it? It's a weekday afternoon.)
Daikoku: (......It's happening again. My phone is in my pocket so I can’t see.)
Daikoku: (Ugh, it's happening again...... I've put it on vibrate, but is it audible to those around me?)
Daikoku: (What is this? It's scary......wait a minute......!)
Daikoku: (The notifications won't stop......!?)
Panda: Sasu, have you finished your school lunch? I need your help filming a video.
Chisa: Sure.
Daikoku: ......
Daikoku: Hyaah!?
Chisa: Whoops. Sorry, Karasu, I didn't realise you were behind me.
Daikoku: ......Y-Yeah. It's fine! See you.
Daikoku: Why? Why is the account I made yesterday being viewed so much......?
Daikoku: It's not a flame war, right? But it's suddenly gone viral......
Daikoku: This person is spreading the post...... Wait, that's a famous author. Is this a literary influencer? They're leaving comments......?
Influencer: Hello, 'Raven's Solo'. This is a very profound poem. In the loneliness that is spoken of, I can see beauty, and in the irony, I can feel a glimmer of hope.
Daikoku: What did I write about yesterday?
Daikoku: ......Writing a profile description is such a pain.
Daikoku: ‘Staring into the abyss. A raven that loves darkness and silence.’
Daikoku: Hmph...... I'm competing with Panda, so I'll appeal to the opposite of her glittering feeling.
Daikoku: ......Alright.
Daikoku: (‘Words locked away in the depths of one's heart are like colours hidden within a rainbow, unnoticed by anyone.’)
Daikoku: What should I use as a hashtag? Umm... 'TrueFeelings'?
Daikoku: ('My true feelings twinkle like the stars in a quiet night sky, and sometimes, like magic, they become words. #TheSecretoftheConstellation')
Daikoku: Hmm......maybe that's a little too romantic. Next time I'll be a little more frank......
Daikoku: (‘I have more notebooks than friends. It might sound like something amazing, but I'm just a diary fanatic. #DiaryAddiction’)
Daikoku: (‘Silence rules in the empty classroom. Books are my friends, and I drown in my dreams. The fate of the loner is solitude, but my Sense shines through.’)
Daikoku: ......It's starting to sound like rap. Being anonymous lets me write things I wouldn't normally say......it's like acting a role.
Daikoku: Oh, I got a like.
Daikoku: I don't know who it is, but someone is reading my posts.
Daikoku: Even if it's just one person, I'm happy......
Daikoku: Oh, that's right. I should probably write about my feelings for my master too......
Daikoku: I'll also include a photo of the roses I took on my way to school the other day.
Daikoku: It's like a secret love letter. I'm getting all excited.
SNS Screen: 'Surreal', 'Cynical and addictive', 'Mysterious and wonderful'
SNS Screen: 'The perspective is lonely, but it's romantic' 'The writing is excellent'
Daikoku: I fell asleep without realising.
Daikoku: I never thought I'd get so much attention...... It's kind of scary......
Daikoku: What should I do, I should probably delete my account...... But......
SNS Screen: 'Nice to meet you, 'Raven's Solo'. I was so moved that I couldn't help commenting.'
SNS Screen: 'I was also alone in the classroom, unable to join in with my classmates. But your post gave me hope that it's not so bad......'
Daikoku: You feel my pain......?
Daikoku: There are lots of people out there who are suffering like me.
Daikoku: I knew it......it was a good idea to not post bright and cheerful things like Panda......!
