あの……半日経過して 「一家に一台あるわけないwウチにはあるけど」 「絶対に持ってない方が普通。ウチにはあるけど」 「いやいやw俺は持ってるけど持ってない方が多いってw」 という物凄く特殊な認識の工具だと察し始めたんですが…

「わたしは死ねばいいのに」児童の訴え書かれたノートに担任が花丸「You can do it!!」 ・同級生からいじめを受けた奈良市立小学校の女児が自殺をほのめかした文章に、担任教師が「花マル」

This picture shows a sad scene at a Japanese company party. The woman crying is Saito-san, an office worker. She is not crying because she is drunk. She is crying because of what she sees on the TV. ■​The Word "Ore" In Japan, women usually do not use the word "Ore" to say "I." It is a word used by men. When Saito-san points at the TV and says "That’s me!", she uses the word "Ore." This means the person inside her body is actually a man. ​ ■Many Years Have Passed This body swap did not happen recently. It happened a long time ago, probably when they were students. For many years, this man has lived as a woman named Saito-san. He had to learn how to live a normal office life as a woman. During those same years, the person now in his original male body became a famous Major League Baseball star. ​■The Reason for Success The most important part of this story is that we do not know why the baseball player is so successful. Is it because the male body is strong? Is it because the person inside worked very hard? The author does not give an answer. This makes the situation even more painful. The man in Saito-san's body must watch "himself" achieve great success while he is living a completely different life. ■​No One Understands Him(Her) A coworker asks, "Saito-san, did you drink too much?" To everyone else, she is just a drunk woman making a scene. No one will ever believe the truth. He is trapped in this life, watching his old body achieve the glory he once wanted. ■​Summary This is a story about a lost life. It shows the pain of seeing someone else live your life better than you could. It asks a difficult question: If someone else achieves your dreams in your body, who are you?
