すぐに話しかけられた

 

同病で同い年くらいの子はお互い珍しかったので、その子は喜んでくれていた

人見知りを知らない、明るい子だった

 

私は人見知りなので、センシティブな気分の時にあまり知らない他人にズカズカ入ってこられるのは苦手なタイプ

でもそんなこと彼女は知ったこっちゃないとの様子で、カーテンを閉めている私のカーテンを開け、朝気づいたら私のベッドに潜り込んできたこともあった

 

最初はびっくりしたけど、時間が経つにつれて入院中仲良くなった

 

It didn't take very long for her to talk to me

Breast cancer patients of our age was not so common, so it was rare to find another

She was a girl who probably didn't know what being nervous around strangers was

 

I don't open up to new people easily

Especially in situations like these when I am super sensitive, I don't really want any new interactions

She frankly didn't care

She opened the curtains around my bed, saying it's more fun this way

I even woke up one morning to find her in my single bed, where she crawled in because she woke up first and was bored

 

She was a unique one full of surprises, and I started to open up to her as time passed by in our hospital room
