Witch of Batomata (Part 7)

Aya tilted her head. "How?"

"They literally bullied a guy from my class for being ugly to an extreme degree. Every single day the guy came to the class, he also goes to the infirmary. On top of that, he also had a condition where it is certain that he could die in five months. Tell me that they are sane people."

"Oh… that guy…" When Aya heard the 'five months', she immediately figured who the guy was. "But… why are you saying this now?"

Imada couldn't answer for a while, then opened his mouth. "Because I feel bad for him. My seat was close to him and I often chatted with him. As for whether we can be counted as friends… I don't know but there was something pitiful about him."

"Did you do anything to stop him from getting bullied?"

"I didn't." Imada honestly said.

"Then why bring it up now?"
