[Nanami looks toward the wall. What a large and empty room this is, it feels like, as though it is a gaping, soundproof space, her body still and framed in just the corner of it.
A lie would be fine here. Utena doesn't need to know this. She is the reason that Nanami's happy life had been compromised to begin with (even if it wasn't perfect before, but it was perfect). She could brush this away.]
But she says,] He tried to kiss me.
[But there had been more to it than that, her sweat cold in the wind in the backseat of the car and a heavy sinking feeling and that man's laugh and how much she had been shaking.
So when she says, "he tried to kiss me," it means a lot more than that: It is not just the action but the feeling.]
