老倉先輩のお母様は突然いなくなったんじゃない
絶食[ぜっしょく]:fasting, ゆっくり:slowly/at ease/restful, 餓死[がし, がしん]:(death from) starvation/starving to death
絶食によってゆっくりと餓死したんです
She slowly starved to death.
ゆっくり:slowly/at ease/restful, 腐る[くさる]:to rot|to corrode|to become useless||
そしてそのあと ゆっくりと腐っていった
Then she slowly rotted away.
原形[げんけい]:original form/base form, 腐乱[ふらん]:decomposition/ulceration, 溶ける[とける]:to melt/to thaw/to fuse, 切る[きる]:to cut|to sever (connections, ties)|to turn off (e.g. the light)||, 老[ろう]:old age/age/old people, 倉[くら]:warehouse/storehouse/cellar, 先輩[せんぱい]:senior (at work or school)/superior/elder
原形がわからないほどに腐乱して 溶け切ったとき 老倉先輩は思ったでしょうね
When the body had decomposed to a point that rendered it unidentifiable as such,
お母さん[おかあさん]:mother
お母さんがどこかにいった と
Oikura thought her mother had left.
蒸発[じょうはつ]:evaporation|disappearance (of people intentionally concealing their whereabouts)/unexplained disappearance
水が蒸発するようなものですよ
It's like the boiling water.
沸騰[ふっとう]:boiling|becoming heated (e.g. debate)|soaring (prices), 嫌い[きらい]:dislike|suspicion|distinction, 嫌い[ぎらい]:dislike/hatred/fear
自分の力で沸騰したと思っている水が嫌い でしたっけ?
She said she hates water that thinks it boils without assistance, right?
お母様[おかあさま]:mother, 自力[じりき, じりょく]:one's own strength/one's own efforts|self-salvation, 沸騰[ふっとう]:boiling|becoming heated (e.g. debate)|soaring (prices)
ええ だけどお母様は 言うなら 自力で沸騰したわけですね
Well, her mother boiled without assistance.
水
Water.
She boiled and evaporated.
老[ろう]:old age/age/old people, 倉[くら]:warehouse/storehouse/cellar, 先輩[せんぱい]:senior (at work or school)/superior/elder, お母様[おかあさま]:mother, 蒸発[じょうはつ]:evaporation|disappearance (of people intentionally concealing their whereabouts)/unexplained disappearance
つまり老倉先輩のお母様もまた 蒸発したということ
She hasn't left the room.
お母様[おかあさま]:mother, 部屋[へや]:room|apartment|stable
お母様は 部屋から出ていないんですよ
煙[けむり, けぶり]:smoke/fumes, 消える[きえる]:to go out/to vanish/to disappear
煙のように消えたのではなく
She didn't disappear like smoke would.
消える[きえる]:to go out/to vanish/to disappear
水のように消えたのです
She disappeared like water.
水分[すいぶん]:water/liquid/fluid
だけど人間はすべてが水分じゃないだろ
Well, human beings aren't composed of only water.
残り[のこり]:remnant/residue/remaining
残りはどうなるんだ?
What about the rest?
そりゃあ:very/extremely|that is, ゴミ屋敷[ゴミやしき, ごみやしき]:trash house/house overflowing with garbage from hoarding, 処分[しょぶん]:disposal|punishment|putting down (e.g. diseased animal), 一緒[いっしょ]:together|at the same time|same
そりゃあ ゴミ屋敷が処分されるときに ゴミと一緒に処分されたんじゃないですかね?
I assume they threw it out with the rest of the junk when the house was cleaned out.
つまり... なんだ
So this is...
餓死[がし, がしん]:(death from) starvation/starving to death, 自殺[じさつ]:suicide, ことになる:it has been decided (so) that/it has been arranged (so) that|it is the result (of)
餓死による自殺... ってことになるのか?
Suicide by starvation?
さてどうでしょう
I don't really think so.
生きる[いきる]:to live|to make a living|to be in effect||, 気力[きりょく]:willpower/energy/vitality, なくす:to lose something|to get rid of, とはいえ:though/although/be that as it may, 自殺[じさつ]:suicide
生きる気力をなくしていたとはいえ 自殺とは違うと私は思いますがね
She surely lost the will to live on, but I don't think that's the same thing as suicide.
生きる[いきる]:to live|to make a living|to be in effect||, 気力[きりょく]:willpower/energy/vitality, 失う[うしなう]:to lose/to part with, 人心[じんしん, ひとごころ]:human nature/human heart/human spirit
生きる気力を失うのと 死にたくなるのは 人心としてはまた違うものですし
Losing the will to live and wanting to die are two different things.
先輩[せんぱい]:senior (at work or school)/superior/elder
羽川先輩はどう思います?
What do you think, Hanekawa?

What do you think was written there?
I hear your laughter near me
You were supposed to be there forever
I breathed onto the classroom window and wrote your name

I heard your voice from the hallway
and went home in hurry to hide my feelings
At some point I became unable
to talk to you normally
I can hear your laughter a ways away
You were supposed to be next to me forever
You knew how I felt
even when I said nothing
Now I know how important you were to me,
but we will never see each other again
