Although Punpun didn’t really want to think about what the point of having dreams that could never come true was… To have dreams and worries that you could talk frankly about… In a way, that was probably a more fulfilling lifestyle than his own, Punpun admitted.

They may be foolishly simplistic desire for some, but to me, working towards them bit by bit is how I build my confidence.

In town, there's a tiny beach that's never busy, not even in the summer. I used to like walking there, looking for stuff. Like old fireworks. Or kelp. A hat knocked off someone's head by the wind. You basically never find what you were expecting to. And maybe you weren't expecting to find anything right from the start...

It's very peaceful. Like perhaps the life of a ghost. Carefree and without worry. I naturally let the wind take me forwards when it blows. Exactly where I'm headed to... is of no real concern to me. But eventually, when it's my time to leave, I'd like to vanish like an insignificant bubble, and fade away from everyone's memories as well.

The energy of the town threatened to suck me into it, and realized how much weaker I was than before. Everyone has trouble living. I know that. But the present me is nearly powerless in this city.

Anyway, I think the two of you should be free to do whatever you want right now. When you're young, you think the only way to happiness is the hard road... but it's actually much simpler than that.

Don't suddenly disappear.

Who cares if you have a dream, right? It's hard enough just to live a normal life.

It really was a good night, Punpun

Hay algunas cosas que no pueden volverse realidad sólo con tus sueños.

. . . But I was convinced that I was special, and I was searching for the thing that set me apart from everyone else . . . when I look back on it now, I tell myself . . . ''I was so young back then.'' But that's just a justification. So now . . . I spend my days living in fear of something spilling out of my heart . . . like water from a bowl, escaping the limits of surface tension. Mr. Onodera . . . are you happy now? I have acceptance . . . but not satisfaction. Really . . . I just want to be able to focus on my pottery . . . that's all. But as you get older . . . you become afraid of losing things, even if they're worthless.

Uncle Yuichi: Something's moving up there? Hmm... I don't see anything. It was probably a satelite. Punpun (with gums flapping): Could I have discovered a new planet?! (long pause) Yuichi: Yes! This could be a great discovery! If it really is a new planet... It'll be called Planet PunPun! Punpun (slobbering again): Do you think I'll win the Nobel Prise?! Yuichi: You sure are a greedy kid.

I bet even this little boy will grow up to be an adult before he realizes. He'll just become an adult like that. Whether he accepts it or resists until the end is a big fork in the path of life, I suppose.

My brand new sandals are a little stiff, and I think they'll give me blisters. But I love them, so I'll probably wear them out. With cautious feet, we move forward. Today is the first step of our new lives.

Punpun, here's what God thinks. Humans, as long as they live, have an emptiness inside them that can never be filled. If, no matter how much people need each other and hurt each other, there's still no such thing as perfect understanding, then what on earth can you believe in?

When I was young, I was under the mistaken belief that given two choices, I should try to calm down and pick the correct one. But in real life, there are many times when both choices are equally correct or equally wrong. To rush into either one might be one of the privileges of youth.

Humans are free. Although we can't fly through the skies all alone, if we can think it, we can do almost anything. We can sleep when we're sleepy. We are free to start or stop anything whenever we wish. Of course, it is a bit hindered by common sense, moralities, and the rules of society. Walking nude out in the streets, stealing from the elderly, and even killing, we can do all of this as long as we throw out our morals. Which is why they drill these laws in our head when we are children. And yet, people still continue to fight, deceive, and steal from each other. And so, people suffer because they live. Even now, there are events of happiness and unhappiness going on all over the world... What can we do to make everyone happy? Of course that's impossible for me to know. If the answer to that could be found in the shallow wisdoms of a kid, wars would have stopped long ago. But I also dislike just leaving that problem up to society or the government. After all, a great person is just one who follows the popular will of the people. In this world, the essence of a frank honest human is just an idealization. I'm sure that there's nothing that can make everyone happy. Happiness is relative. And that's how people want it. Evil is also relative. Mothers can become demons when they do anything to protect their child. Yet it's usually seen as admirable. But when a person does anything for the country he loves, wars break out. Isn't it all the same thing? No matter how much a person pretends to be good and kind, he will still have negative aspects. But nobody really tries to notice that fact. Why is that? They all try to place the blame on others, and never even consider the possibility that they themselves may have played part in the problem. Just what the hell am I thinking? The world isn't going to change no matter what I think. Then what should I be doing? I don't really want to do anything. I don't want to order nor trouble anyone. That's just laziness, I guess. I don't go to school nor do I work and I've been wasting my time away since noon. Look at me, talking about the freedom of humans when I'm just some suspicious punk in this down. In conclusion, I have nothing.

People are free. Well, they can't fly on their own . . . but pretty much whatever they can think up, they can make happen. When they're sleepy, they can sleep. They're free to start or quit whatever they're doing whenever they want. And the only reason they don't is because things like social norms, laws, traditions and sentiment get in the way. Running naked through the streets . . . conning old people . . . killing . . . everything’s possible if you ignore morality. That's why they insist on teaching you cooperation and ethics when you're young- But the world is set up to force people to fight, cheat and steal as a default. Trying to live with that contradiction is torture. But in so many places happiness and sorrow are traded like stocks on wall street. What will it take for everyone to be happy? Who knows? But if a kid could figure it out, war would've gone extinct long time ago. I'd hate to trust the entire thing to politicians. They're just old men who have to dance to public opinion. The world is the embodiment of human nature exposed . . . There's no way for everyone to be happy. Happiness is relative anyway . . . and people want it that way. Evil is relative too. In order to protect her, a mother can turn into a demon. And it gets held up as inspirational. People go to war to protect kin and country. It's the same thing. Even if you pretend to be good fundamentally everyone has some negative aspects. It's amazing that no one knows that. Why? People have become so adept at excuses and shifting the blame . . . that they never even consider the possibility that they're culpable for their own problems.

If you ever touch my computer again I will seriously kill you.

Isobe... I think your cumming face is the cutest.

Escudarte tras el humanismo y de aquello que consideras correcto te hace mucho más hipócrita y violenta que yo.

Punpun no entendía en lo absoluto de qué se trataba eso que llamaban "juventud". Alardear, presumir, gritar cosas que no debes decir, callarte lo que quieres decir... todo eso no es más que una molestia. Pero un día será un adulto. "Era tan joven, fueron buenos tiempos." Las probabilidades de que llegara a decir eso se veían muy lejanas. Punpun comenzaba a perder las ganas de vivir.

Punpun pensó: "Ya que hoy fue un día tan terrible... mañana sin duda debía esperarme un día maravilloso." Y si no era mañana, sería pasado mañana o el próximo mes, o tal vez dentro de algunos años. Sin duda llegaría un día increíble. O eso quería pensar. Era más como una plegaria. Pero... ¿a quién? Por ahora, sólo duerme. Buenas noches, Punpun.

Si dentro de dos años, cuando fuera el momento de renovar el contrato su situación no hubiera cambiado en lo absoluto, entonces él... se quitaría la vida.

Sin embargo, ¿por qué me sigo sintiendo así? ¿Realmente está bien vivir de una manera tan simple? En mi interior deseo una vida más dinámica.

No considero negativo que el autor refleje sus emociones en su obra. Sin embargo, no hay tantas personas en este mundo que se interesen en su forma de pensar.

Dijiste que ya no necesitaba pensar en nada más, pero... si eres capaz de decir eso es porque te has vuelto más fuerte. Por otro lado, soy una persona mucho más mediocre de lo que crees. ¿Por qué será... que mientras más pasa el tiempo más sola me siento?

If I can make it before the light changes, I'm sure everything will work out.

Entiendo que eres un chico muy serio, pero no puedes huir de todo. Ignoro todo lo que has tenido que vivir, y entiendo que prefieras estar solo para no lastimar a nadie. Pero el mundo no es tan fácil como para vivir solo. Y tampoco eres tan fuerte para lograrlo. ¿O me equivoco?

Cuando te veo asustado sin hacer nada... me siento muy molesta. Es como si viera a la niña que traté de dejar atrás. Y, de alguna forma, me siento culpable. Sé perfectamente lo vacías que son tus preocupaciones. Por eso no puedo perdonarte... pero tampoco puedo dejarte solo.

Si fracaso una vez más... siento que colapsaré. ¡Ah! Un arcoiris.
