A private diary entry from Sora in The Last Train Home, written after the group’s summer festival trip and reflecting on the quiet ride home, the closeness she noticed between her friends, and the loneliness she kept to herself.

Sora’s Diary
Festival night.
Everyone fell asleep on the last train.
Hana was leaning on Kei’s shoulder.
Kei pretended not to notice.
Ren noticed everything, but said nothing.
I was happy thinking about everyone.
Maybe I was a little lonely.
Even so, it was a good day.
