I am the lone black sheep in a flock of white.
I do not feel joy or sorrow as they do.
I do not eat the same things.
I can not understand the things that bring them comfort....
Things like love and kindness.
The only thing that a pitiful black sheep like me can do is to cover my own
black wool in a white powder and masquerade as one of them.
And even now, I am still wearing my mask, playing the fool"
(Bungaku Shoujo, Nomura Mizuki)
"Please let my fraud remain undiscovered.
Ahh, please, let no one notice that I am a
monster who can't understand the human heart.
So that I can continue living, pretending to be a
stupid, idiotic, and worthless human being while
everyone laughs at, pities, and accepts me.
And so, wearing a mask even now,
I continue to act the clown."
(Bungaku Shoujo, Nomura Mizuki)
