Today was just like any other day.
I can't remember what set her off. Whatever it was, she changed subjects constantly anyway. It didn't matter.
The urge to sleep was pounding the back of my head.
Once Satoko had been able to relax... she fell down on the spot and started sleeping, still clinging to my sleeve.
I carried Satoko to the bedroom and laid out our futons.
"Here, Satoko. Your futon is ready, so get in, okay?"
Satoko crawled in like a worm. She stopped moving once she was inside.
But... I couldn't.
My aunt asked me to do some chores.
I had to get toothpaste after school tomorrow. I had to write it down somewhere...
I had to make rice for lunch tomorrow... I set the timer.
Right, I also had to repile the towels in the bathroom. That was the reason for today's scolding...
My aunt will get mad if everything isn't done the way she wants.
Oh, and there was something else.
...I was working at the grocery store the next day.
They wanted me to bring an apron.
...Did we even have an apron in this house...? I'd never seen one...
My aunt will be sleeping when I go to school, so I won't have time to ask her.
In that case, why don't I ask Mion about it at school? She might lend me one.
Was there anything else...? Hmmmmm......
I was envious of Satoko, because she got to go to bed.
