But Aoi found it impossible to fully open herself up to any of her
new friends. She could laugh with them, rant with them, even play
at falling in love with them. But there remained a certain line she was loath to let anybody cross, and if someone tried to come closer
than that, she hastily erected a wall, not answering the phone and
staying away from classes until a more comfortable distance reasserted
itself.

Something about the way Nanako
talked reminded Aoi of women her mother's age. Women who took
no interest in most of what went on in the world and, within the
one tiny little slice of the world they did care about, refused to
believe that a single shred of ill will or distrust or any other troubling
sentiment could exist. The kind of woman she'd seen strike
up conversations with her mother in train stations and tourist spots
as if they were sisters or something. They were friendly as could be,
and they'd overwhelm you with kindness. But let anything go wrong,
Aoi reminded herself, and they would coldly shove you away almost
every time.

You’ve got great base stats, so someone like you wouldn’t get how I feel.”
Aoi Hinami’s mouth moved ever so slightly, like she was repeating my words, but I couldn’t hear her. I wasn’t even sure what my voice sounded like just then.
“Life is unfair. I’m ugly, I have a bad build, I overthink until I can’t do anything, I’m wishy-washy, people make fun of everything I do, and I have no confidence in my ability to communicate. How is someone like me supposed to beat someone strong like you?”
This might have been the first time I ever said something like that to a stranger.
“But that’s all fine. Because life’s not fair. You don’t get results just by trying hard. If you could, I would, but life doesn’t have rules. No rewards, no right answers. As a game, it’s a piece of shit. If there’s no right answer, then there’s no point in trying. And I hate the way normies like you live. Your confidence is totally baseless, and you go around in packs just pretending to have fun.”
With the floodgates opened, I couldn’t stop myself.
“Even when I have a reason to be confident, I shy away. When I’m in a group I just feel alone, and it’s not fun. I’m used to this life. I don’t know why things are this way. You have a problem with that? I’ve been like this as long as I can remember. That’s fine with me. I’m a loner, but I have my fun. I’m fine with this…”
I clenched my fists.
“…So don’t force your values on me!

Zero in on your Area of Innovation (AOI). What’s your “thing”? What is your company known for? Is it speedy delivery or fast response times? Do you have a commitment to excellence that is unparalleled in your industry? Or are you the cheapest date around? Take a few minutes to figure out your AOI. And remember, you can’t be all things to all people. You can only be one thing to a group of important people—your best clients. Where do you really innovate—quality, speed/efficiency or price? Now that you know where you innovate, answer this question: How could you take this AOI to a level of innovation that is rarely, or better yet, never seen in the industry?

No one cares about books made of paper, they don’t even read the digital ones that much these days, he thought. And he’d seen the data. The AOI traced every sentence read, when a reader started or stopped, what they highlighted.

But what happened next really surprised me.” “Yeah?” “The master of ceremonies announced the first-place school.” Mimimi took a deep breath. “When they said the word ‘first place,’ Aoi’s mask finally broke, and she started crying.” “…Wow.” That was all I could say. “She didn’t cry when her own team’s name was called for second place, but when the other school’s name was called for first, she did.

Tama-chan stopped hugging her, took a step back, and looked her in the eye again. “You always say you’re fine and smile and push yourself too far and work hard.

Perhaps between the touch and the breath, something would keep safe their race into the face and fury of a rebellion on the brink of eruption. In their stirring heat, the cold night and AOI were forgotten, and even the books, both condemned and liberated, vanished into whispered mist as they wrote an original scene, played a million times before, but never like this.
