I cried reading this. I can feel the pressure of everything, every feeling. The feeling of wanting to be "normal", the feeling of guilty, the feeling of not being able to be who your parents want you to be, the feeling that your feelings are dirty. Odajima deserves to be happy, Yano being his lover is just so perfect, they're meant to each other. If Odajima was real, I would tell him that nothing is wrong with him, that his feelings are not dirty, you are not dirty. You don't need to be who others want you to be, just live your life the way you want, with the lover you want. There's nothing wrong with that, there's nothing wrong with you. I want to hug him. The fact that he was a child too is just so... Ugh, he didn't need to get through all this, we didn't need to get through all this just because society can't deal with us. Being queer is sad sometimes, I get so emotional seeing shit like this. Anyway, this is a good read!
