Hello again, and thank you.
From the analysis that I've gathered, this is the story of a young woman who leaves her hometown of Fukuoka to become a singer in Tokyo. So around how old would she be? Could 真っ赤な嘘 then be possible?
If 赤いものに替えて means something like rage, then what does 短い嘘を繋げ赤いものに替えて疎外されていく本音を伏 せた become in English? Who was lying and who got mad?
After he kneeled and begged her to stay, would it make sense to get up and attack her verbally? It seems counterproductive.
