半澤先輩のお兄ちゃんの話。（配信でだら～っと喋ったのでめもめも…）

お兄ちゃんは２９話の回想で家族の食卓でさらっと軽く聞こえるようにカミングアウトをしたのですが、あのときにもし家族が拒絶するなら家を出ていくつもりでした。友達にもしもの相談をして覚悟を持って軽く話しました。 家にいては問題の種にしかならないかもしれないと思っていて、自分が家を出れば解決する程度だろうとも思っていました。でも、一番下の弟が俺も同じ、とカミングアウトしたので、自分が家を出ればいいというだけで済まないと焦りました。

そのときに雅人くんが「自分は違う」と言ったため、親も安心し、その場でお兄ちゃんの恐怖はひとまず収まりました。 それ以来、お兄ちゃんは雅人くんに感謝していて、且つ親の期待が一人に向いてしまったので、一番心配して気にかけています。

しばらくして、もしかして雅人はあの時に空気を読んだだけだったのかもとお兄ちゃんは思いました。女の子の友達は多いけど恋人は作らないし、男子校に行って、さらには寮にも入って、あまり帰省もしてこなくて。本当は自分と一緒だったのかもしれないとずっと悩んでいました。

２９話の宮野と遭遇したことがきっかけで、本心を聞く機会を得て、その点で嘘をつかせたり我慢をさせていたわけではないと知って、お兄ちゃんは安心しました。

お兄ちゃんは雅人くんのおかげで、家族とも暮らせていると思っていて、今の環境が大事です。 自分のことをネコ寄りだと考えていますが、自分が納得できて、雅人くんやみんなにも受け入れられる人なら、ネコじゃなくてもいいと考えています。

という蛇足…

for the sake of responsible sharing a) ask isn't going to be rebloggable and b) Telling you plainly in case you haven't used the site before Just press the GET at the top of the screen. it will download a pdf of each of the respective books I link. you don't need to worry about any of the other stuff happening on screen, pinky promise.

the GENKI books are kind of a staple of academic japanese learning, if nothing else they're pretty good at giving you your first building blocks.

this is a link to genki vol. 1 (and its workbook)

this is a link to genki vol. 2 (and its workbook)

and this is a link to kanji look and learn (and its workbook Even though the kll workbook was always a pain in my ass). nobody's getting graded here. so min-max kanji if you want

in any case there are a lot of resources out in the world, so if the textbook approach doesn't feel right there's always other pathways forward. and if you Fairly don't feel like pressing unknown links I present you let me know and I'll screenshot some things, I don't mind

anyway I was going to demonstrate what it looks like comprehending a page with あのさ　駅まで… but I have been made weak. on account of the Being shot by shirahama. maybe some other time. so instead I'll use a different panel to do with shirahama

this next panel is from the most recent chapter 52 of sasamiya. I don't know if you've read it yet anon. if not please read it at your soonest convenience. nothing but a read of this particular panel is gonna come after this disclaimer you won't be missing anything else I don't wanna spoil you okay thanks

shirahama just realized he was talking to miyano normally in front of miyano's boyfriend (sasaki) and also realized sasaki was staring at him (じー．．．) (<- the staring sound effect) in normal sasaki fashion, which is to say With a passive expression. but shirahama is going through horrible horrible things recently re: miyano and Miyano's boyfriend, so he panics and jolts (はっ). that leads us into this panel, where sasaki says, あ、and then thinks, そういえば保健室前に会ったかも。

aa, sou-i-e-ba, ho-kenn-shi-tsu ma-e ni a-tta ka-mo

in essence, "Oh," Come to think of it, (we) met in front of the nurse's office, I think...

そういえば is a common phrase, so I have it memorized. 保健室 was contextual, because I didn't remember the kanji but did obviously remember shirahama and sasaki's interaction there. to be really honest with you 前に was also halfway contextual because I'm always forgetting direction words. 会った is a word I've memorized, the kanji for meet (会う) in the past tense. and かも short for かもしれない, I think.
