Futaba had been feeling the weight of uncertainty of her standing with Kou. A general discussion about boys and relationships with her friend Kikuchi clears up her feelings.

双葉(ふたば):
「なんか自分(じぶん)はダメじゃないって()ってもらえた()がして」
“It kind of felt like you were telling me I'm not hopeless.”
(すこ)()()れたかも」
“I may be feeling a bit better.”
「ありがとね」
“Thanks.”

Key Points

  1. ()()れた means the emotional cloud lifted

    • The idiom describes Futaba feeling clearer or lighter after talking.

    • It is about mood relief, not weather in this scene.

  2. 少し keeps the improvement modest

    • She says only a little of the heaviness has cleared.

    • That matches uncertainty about Kou not being fully resolved.

  3. かも makes the feeling tentative

    • かも means “maybe”, so Futaba is still checking her own emotions.

    • The line sounds introspective rather than fully confident.

  4. ありがとね sounds warm and personal

    • ありがと is the casual form of ありがとう.

    • The sentence-ending softens the thanks and shares the feeling with the listener.

  5. ()ってもらえた()がして explains why she feels better

    • 〜てもらえた means she received the benefit of someone saying it.

    • ()がして means “I felt like…” and leaves the thought hanging into the next line.

    • The reassuring content is 自分(じぶん)はダメじゃない: “I’m not hopeless” or “there isn’t something wrong with me.”
