“No! Stop it!”
“I won’t!”
The naughty boy kept on pulling the poor girl’s golden hair and laughed childishly. The girl, Rin, then punched the boy right to his nose and ran away as he cried in pain.
Rin had had enough of Len, the naughty boy. He was her neighbor’s son. Ever since he and his family moved next door Len had always bullied Rin even until now when they were fourteen years old. He loved to make fun of her or make her cry. He put frog in her backpack. He ate her oranges. He doodled on her homework. He took her favorite keychain orange mascot. He did everything to make her mad. It seemed it was fun for him. Rin HATE him very much! She just felt like wanting to punch him to her heart content but she couldn’t, because somehow Len was always surrounded by his friends. He was just like a boss! Everyone seemed so obedient to him and would beat her off if she ever laid a finger on him.
Recently, Rin just punched Len in the wrong time and wrong place where his friends a.k.a his followers were in present. Now, Rin had to run for her life. Rin hid behind a vending machine and felt relieved when those ‘followers’ ran passed her. Rin didn’t want to think what would happen to her if she got caught.
“Gotcha!”
Someone found her. Rin was so panicked that she ran again in an instant she heard someone speak.
“RIN! DON’T!”
Rin ran to the road, not realizing the red light. She saw a figure with blonde hair tied in a ponytail behind her before her body hit by a high speeded truck.
Being survived from such an incident was indeed a miracle. Rin survived after the terrible accident but in exchange of her life, Rin lost her sight and hearing. Rin could no longer see or hear anything permanently.
In the first night after Rin conscious from one week coma, she cried alone hugging herself on the bed. The doctors and her parents had told her about her disability. Each word they wrote on her palm―the only way to communicate available―stabbed her heart. Each one stabbed deeper than the previous ones. Rin couldn’t hear how loud she cried but she knew it must be very loud.
Suddenly, Rin felt someone pat her head. It was a soft and warm touch. But her parents were already long gone home.
“Who?” Rin couldn’t hear her own voice asking.
Rin touched the hand on her head and groped through the arm and to the face. Rin touched the hair. It was not too short, just about the shoulder length like hers. A girl? Rin couldn’t guess who it was from the shape of the person’s face on her fingers.
“Who are you?”
Rin asked for the person’s name again but no answer although she already told the person to write the name on her palm.
It was a strange person but Rin really need a friend at this time. She really wanted to pour all her sadness and madness feeling. Before she knew it, Rin already told the stranger everything. She told the stranger how lost and sad she was losing her ability to see and hear anymore. She told the stranger what Len had done to her and how she hated him to hell. Sometimes she cried and whenever she did, the stranger would pat her head gently. Rin did all the talking while the stranger responded to her by holding her hands or pat her. Slowly, the burden in her heart ceased and Rin felt more comfortable. Too comfortable that she finally fell asleep while the stranger stroked her hand gently.
The next morning, Rin woke up. She thought everything that happened the previous night, the stranger, all the crying, and all of those outpouring of her heart were just a dream. But she doubted it because she felt her heart was much lighter than the previous day and she was proved right when the night fall and the stranger came again.
In just a short time, Rin and the stranger became so close. Every night, in mid night, the stranger would come and visit her and they would talk about lot of things, well, actually, Rin the only one talking. She didn’t just talk about her misery which most of them caused by Len, she also talked about other kind of fun things. She told the stranger about her hobby, what she likes and dislikes, her fun and good life that was taken from her whenever Len was around and whenever this topic was brought up Rin would talk about her misery again around Len. Sometimes Rin even got so mad when remembering Len that she would say horrible things like saying that she wanted him to replace her place now, he became blind and deaf. It was not like making one lost their favorite doll or making them got a cut by playing with a knife, it was the ability to see and hear the world that was taken from her. For Rin, it was a right thing if Len would just die for making her in such a state.
Whatever Rin was talking about, the stranger would respond by patting her head or stroking her hands. But it wasn’t like the stranger didn’t paying attention to her. Each touch the stranger gave was full of expression. Rin even wondered how such a touch could fill with so much feeling. When she was sad, the touch was full of soothing feeling. When she was mad, the touch was filled with calming feeling. When she was in a good mood, the touch made her wanted to laugh in joy. Rin felt comfortable and happy the stranger was always there to hear her but only one thing disturbed her.
“What is your name?”
No respond.
“Who are you?”
No respond.
“Tell you what? The doctor said he will open my bandage tomorrow! Then I can finally walk again! Tell you, broken bone is so painful! I’m glad it’ll soon be over now!”
Her head was patted.
Whatever she did, Rin could never learn who the stranger really was. Rin thought maybe the stranger said the answer but she couldn’t hear it or the stranger didn’t know how to write on her palm. But it was in the middle of the city, just who couldn’t read nor write? And in the end, Rin still wouldn’t able to learn anything about the stranger.

幸せな季節
この世界に 生きることが幸せな
暖かい風に 揺れる遥か彼方
知らないし 僕の命の美しさ
冬の景色は つまらないで 、
遠い過去に 見える雲間のひかり
あれから君 の笑顔きらりきらり
とある片隅 君と縁を結んだ時、
嗚呼 なんて素晴らしいで 、
冷たい冬の天気に...幸せな季節

「彼らに勝てるはずがない」
そのカジノには、双子の天才ギャンブラーがいた。
彼らは、絶対に負けることがない。
だから、彼らは天才と言われていた。
そして、天才の彼らとの勝負で賭けるモノ。
それはお金ではない。
彼らとの勝負で賭けるのは、『自分の大事なモノ全て』。
だから、負けたらもうおしまい。
それ...イカサマ⇔カジノ【自己解釈】
