Which part are you confused with? I might be able to explain if you want.
I THOUGHT I WAD THE ONLY ONE like i dont understands cause the conversation didnt make senses
The mc was writing a novel, which he was keeping a secret from everyone including his wife. He thought he lost his papers, but it turns out his wife had accidentally packed his papers with her things when she moved out after their divorce. The colleagues were basically trying to be sensitive around him since he was freshly divorced and may have been hurting, except for that one oblivious guy who can’t read the room.
my guess is that the translation from japanese to english was too direct or straightforward. making it hard to comprehend when reading it in english.
This story didn’t make sense at all and I swear I’m not dumb. I don’t know if it’s because of the translation, or maybe there are missing pages but their dialogues weren’t connected, lot of things I didn’t get like the story with the wife, the colleagues, what was the thing with the papers ?
