I Shall Break Off Our Engagement For You
[Chapter 15]
Translated by: ME
The story, as well as the style and expression, were exactly alike.
As I read on, I began to feel sick.
It was written in such a similar way that I thought I had written it myself.
That was part of Maisie's poem.
Even though Felicia herself had no memory of writing it, the words written there were such that she could only think she had written them.
[What is this...? It's creepy...]
Felicia involuntarily covered her mouth with her hand.
She closed her eyes and slowly exhaled.
Then, she asked quietly.
[Maisie..., did you look at my poems in the back and write this... ?]
Maisie turned around to face Felicia as if startled.
A strained smile on her face, she shook her head slightly and said.
[I also... referenced Felicia's poems a little...]
[Referenced...]
When Felicia stared at her, Maisie averted her gaze.
Despite that, she strangely started repeating the [righteous argument] from earlier very clearly.
In a firm voice that even Cathy and Brittany, who were still nearby, could hear.
[Like I said before, it's impossible to write without being influenced by anything, right? I think everyone writes with reference to something.]
Felicia couldn't answer.
What Maisie was saying was certainly a [righteous argument.]
But what on earth was this feeling of helplessness that she was feeling?
She didn't know how to explain it, but it was something that had been [stolen.]
She couldn't think of any other explanation.
Even if no one else understood, Maisie had [stolen] it.
Rachel's poem too...
Rachel from earlier must have felt the same way as Felicia did now.
[I didn't write that poem for you to steal!]
Rachel's scream echoed in her ears.
Having become a party involved, she understood the pain for the first time.
It is true that you may refer to something or be influenced by something.
That is a fact.
Did Felicia refer to anything when she wrote her poems?
She had looked up things she didn't know, and she didn't think she had written without looking at anything.
She had certainly been influenced by the poems she had read so far.
But...
(I've never looked at someone else's poem, the poem itself, and written it...)
She had created poetic stories by weaving together the words she knew to convey the beautiful things in the world, the things she liked, or the things she felt were questionable or mysterious.
While devising ways to express how she could convey the beauty of the world that she had discovered.
There is something beautiful in the world from the beginning.
Because it doesn't belong to anyone, you may get the same subject matter.
However, how you look at that beauty is different for each person.
It is still strange to write someone else's beauty as your own.
However, it is difficult for others to see how the author wrote it, whether there are similar things, whether it is a coincidence, or whether one wrote it first, or whether one imitated the other.
Probably, only the person who was stolen from knows.
(Besides...)
Felicia knew it well too.
There had been many people who had made a fuss about plagiarism.
Among them, there were a surprising number of cases that she could only think of as [overthinking] or [paranoia.]
Therefore, even if the same thing becomes a topic, she thinks, [Not again.]
Everyone does.
Maybe even Felicia herself...
She remembers the words that Rachel was whispered by someone around her.
[Paranoia.]
Did Maisie know that too, and that's why she was saying such [righteous arguments]?
If so, she knows exactly what she's doing.
