Hajime pauses with his fingers in the dirt, almost seeming to forget about what he was doing as he listens to her story. Listens, and feels his heart sink into his shoes.
And then he's angry, bitterly angry. His fingers squeeze into the dirt before he stops himself, almost surprised at what he was doing as he looks back to her. He's angry on her behalf, obviously. But there's something that resonates with him, too; it's not the same, it's not nearly the same, but the feeling of having no future, of having everyone else decide what's important for you... yeah. It makes his blood boil with useless resentment.]
But... you didn't end up marrying the guy, right? [he ventures, unable to put exactly why he's so angry at the thought into words. Just because he doesn't have a future to look forward to doesn't mean anyone else should feel that way, either!] I mean, there's no way...
[That sounds like something from a manga or a TV drama. Not something that could happen to someone in real life, that he's spoken to.]
