Quotes[]
The Legend of Sadako[]
"There once was a girl whose name was Sawako Kuronuma. The girl stood out in a bad way. So they called her Sadako, and they were frightened of her. People heard she had supernatural powers. One blamed her for a broken bone. One blamed her for feeling ill. It was ridiculous, but people who laughed at such jokes soon came to believe in something more behind mere coincidences. Before long, no one would get close to her. With the exception of one boy. She was not discouraged. She was a girl who possessed singular benevolence. And only he knew that her true abilities had nothing to do with supernatural powers. She learned how to smile with him. She learned how to cry with delight. She made friends. She made friends and comrades. She had rivals. And, as if in a dream, the boy became her boyfriend. Gradually, her surroundings changed. Time passed, and she became a part of the class."
