Under sunlight so blinding it could make you sick

With nothing to do, I was just chatting with you

「「でもまぁdemo maa夏natsuはwa嫌いkiraiかなkana」」猫nekoをwo撫でnadeながらnagara

"Well, I guess I don't like summer much," you muttered, stroking the cat

君kimiはwaふてぶてしくfutebuteshikuつぶやいたtsubuyaita

You murmured, brazen as ever

あぁ、aa,逃げ出したnigedashita猫nekoのno後atoをwo追いかけてoikakete

Ah — chasing after the cat that bolted away

You darted into the intersection just as the light turned red

A truck came barreling through, dragging you with it as you screamed

血飛沫chibashiriのno色、iro,君kimiのno香りkaoriとto混ざり合ってmazariatteむせ返ったmusekaetta

The color of blood spattering, mixing with your scent, made me choke

嘘usoみたいなmitai na陽炎kagerouがga「「嘘usoじゃないja naiぞzo」」ってtte嗤ってるwaratteru

The heat haze, like a lie, laughed — "This isn't a lie"

夏natsuのno水色、mizuiro,かき回すkakimawasuようなyou na蝉semiのno音neにni全てsubete眩んだkuranda

The pale blue of summer, the cicadas screaming like they were stirring it all up — everything went white

I woke to the sound of the clock ringing out, in bed

What time is it now?

It pointed to just past midnight — August 14th

I remembered the unbearably loud cries of the cicadas

But hey, something feels a little off.

I remembered the dream I had yesterday, in that same park

「「もうmou今日kyouはwa帰ろうkaerouかka」」道michiにni抜けたnuketa時toki

When we stepped out onto the street — "Should we head home for today?"

周りmawariのno人hitoはwa皆mina上ueをwo見上げmiage口kuchiをwo開けていたakete ita

Everyone around us was looking up, mouths wide open

落下してrakka shiteきたkita鉄柱tetchuuがga君kimiをwo貫いてtsuranuite突き刺さるtsukisasaru

A steel beam fell from above and drove straight through you

劈くtsunzaku悲鳴himeiとto風鈴fuurinのno音otoがga木々kigiのno隙間sukimaでde空廻りkaramawari

Piercing screams and wind chime sounds spun uselessly through the gaps in the trees

ワザとらしいwazatorashii陽炎kagerouがga「「夢yumeじゃないja naiぞzo」」ってtte嗤ってるwaratteru

The overdramatic heat haze laughed — "This isn't a dream"

眩むkuramu視界shikaiにni君kimiのno横顔、yokogao,笑っているwaratte iruようなyou na気がしたki ga shita

In my fading vision, I thought I saw your profile — it looked like you were smiling

何度nando世界sekaiがga眩んでもkurande mo陽炎kagerouがga嗤ってwaratte奪い去る。ubarisaru.

No matter how many times the world goes white, the heat haze just laughs and takes it away.

Repeating this for decades. I must have known for a long time.

If this is such a common kind of story, there's only one way it ends.

On the other side of all these repeated summer days.

I shoved you aside and jumped in — and slammed straight into the truck

血飛沫chibashiriのno色、iro,君kimiのno瞳hitomiとto軋むkishimu体karadaにni乱反射してranhansha shite

The color of blood splattering, scattering wildly across your eyes and my crumbling body

文句monkuありげなarige na陽炎kagerouにni「「ざまぁみろzamaa miroよyo」」ってtte笑ったらwarattara

I laughed at the complaining heat haze — "Serves you right"

Just a perfectly ordinary summer day.

And something like that came to an end right here.
