The second day begins.

April 30 (Thursday) 12:37

Lunch break.
The reason for my yawn just now might be the mysterious call I received at six o'clock this morning.
«I'll make you a boxed lunch today.»
The call had been terminated before I could respond anything.
What's that mean...?
It's the last day of April and thus Golden Week — meaning that our consecutive holidays are soon to come, too. I go to the corridor and wait for Otonashi-san like I always do. We have lunch together in the school cafeteria every day, but she has never made me a boxed lunch before.

Utsuro no Hako:Volume2 Prologue

I am inside scenery I can only remember in my dreams.
I already know who the person facing me is, but having no 'box', I cannot recall this place deliberately except in my dreams. I don't know when we had this conversation, either.
"Do you remember that I told you that I can see you as an individual even though your kind don't have individualities?"
I don't know. Feels like I have heard about it, but also feels like I haven't.
"Thanks to what happened this time, I am beginning to recognize the reason as to why I can distinguish you. It might be because, while rejecting nothing, you don't accept anything."
This sounds like nothing but a word play to me.

Utsuro no Hako:Volume1 Author's Notes

Hello, I am Eiji Mikage.
It has been right three years since my previous work. If there have been readers anticipating my new book, I beg for pardon. And also, thanks for not forgetting me.
There was a period in which I came to a halt, but it's not like I gave up writing. The reason that I didn't publish a book in three years is simply because of my own lack of power.

Utsuro no Hako:Volume1 Epilogue

It is magnificent weather with a deep blue sky.
The first thing I did after waking up was to confirm today's date on my mobile phone. «April 7». Today's «April 7». I also checked in the newspaper and on the TV to confirm that it's really «April 7». Well, of course I know that there's no meaning in such a confirmation. But since the time I was involved in the 'Rejecting Classroom', I can't help but do so. Or else I become very anxious.
The events of the 'Rejecting Classroom' remained in form of knowledge. But I can only recall those memories with a feeling of looking at pictures that were snapped at a place I've never been. The 'box', Maria, '0' - I know what they are. But the corresponding emotions are not there anymore. No anger, no sadness - nothing. So even if I was in love with someone, I would have probably forgotten it by now. Maybe I'm going to gradually forget those memories because they are so faint.

Utsuro no Hako:Volume1 1st time (2)

"I am Aya Otonashi. Pleased to meet you."
The transfer student says with a faint smile.
Astonished by her looks, the girls start to get noisy while the boys are completely bereft of speech.
Of course I am no exception. I think I've never seen anyone as charming as her before. I couldn't avert my eyes even if I wanted. Our eyes meet. I am instantly captivated by her eyes. The transfer student seems as though she is used to my reaction and smiles softly at me.
It almost makes me dizzy.

Utsuro no Hako:Volume1 27756th time

I have to end the 'Rejecting Classroom' and regain my everyday life.
What would be the worst that could happen to hinder me from attaining that goal?
To come upon a big obstacle? Say, one where I had to traverse a thin thread from one building to another? One where I had to repeat the same day for a million times?
