I am different from you, sons of the unmanned.
Unmanned....
I am me...
I'm going my own way.
People avoided me.
I avoided people more and more.
I have to go out.
A small town like this...
But the truth is...
in fact...
It was a pleasure talking to you.
Otsu...
You were the only one for me.
I hope Otsu is happy...
