You think about how other people feel. You’re so kind. It makes sense. Because we’re always in pain, we know exactly what it means to hurt somebody else.

Took me over a week to complete this book. I had to put it away for a while because I was unable to manage my temper while reading this book. The story tells of the main character (narrator) whose name isn't even known being bullied, then he meets Kojima, a girl classmate who is also being bullied. I apologize that I didn't like this book. It's just not for me, I felt every chapter got worse, and that the ending was really confusing.
