Chapter 1.5: Kurose Maria’s Diary

There’s a question that’s been coming to mind as of late: where does my happiness lie?

If Kashima-kun were to become mine, even for just a moment...what would become of me after that?

I know better than anyone that a future where he casts Runa aside and instead chooses me will never come. Even if Runa herself stepped out of the way, she’d remain in his heart forever.

Because she’s a muse. The heroine of the story is always Runa.

She’s honest, cheerful, can get along with anyone quickly, always faces forward, doesn’t mope around, and has many friends...

Deep inside, I’ve always looked up to Runa. From the bottom of my heart. I wanted to become her. We’re twins, and yet I’m completely different from her.

Even if I might’ve been her, had something gone ever so slightly differently in our mother’s stomach.

With that in mind, I started acting like Runa. When I did that, at some point, people began saying I was just playing cute and innocent.

I’m sure that Runa isn’t good at imitating my voice. I have no doubt that she’s never wanted to become me.

Only I’ve done that. I’ve just always been so conscious of her. Even when I’m not near her.

When I wanted someone to like me, I always thought of Runa—what would she do?

But when I reunited with her in high school, I made a mistake. I did something she would never do: I tried to bring someone down through schemes, all because I was jealous of her. My true colors quickly came to light, and now I’m living as my real self.

I’ve always been wandering around a labyrinth with no exit. My happy ending is nowhere in sight. But even so, I have no choice but to continue on this path. After all, it was my own actions that led me to this labyrinth in the first place.
