I had forgotten. Thanks to the monk and Hasunoha!

Nice to meet you. “Thank you.” I posted it because I wanted to tell you. I've been a hidden fan of Hasunoha for about a year. I myself have hurt a lot of people in my life in the past. (I think there are even events I'm not self-aware of) Occasionally, a selfish feeling of wanting to be...
