Yes, such a life is really good.
Who would have thought... that someone like me, who was mentally disabled, could come this far.
No...
Did I really have an intellectual disability? It seems like a very distant memory, so much so that Koki was unsure.
No, I am not mentally disabled. People with mental disabilities rarely experience true happiness. Even if some movies depict mentally disabled people achieving success, that's an idealization, a glossing over the truth.
Real disabled individuals endure hardships in daily life that only they can understand. All beautification essentially ignores them.
And over these years... Koki hasn't had any nightmares, and in his dreams, people have been praising him.
You are a genius. You are a genius, you are a genius... you are a genius!
Yes, in his dream, there was someone who constantly told Koki, "You are a genius." And in the real world, Koki received many evaluations that said he was a genius.
After a while, he shook his head.
