The lint balls hasve been increasing (in number). The lint balls have been increasing (in number).

The lint balls hasve been increasing. The lint balls have been increasing.

The lint balls has beenve increased againg. The lint balls have increased again.

1) "have increased" vs "have been increasing" have increased: This increase was completed. (This matches the 増えていた in the Japanese version) have been increasing: The increasing is happening right now. 2) Added the また

The lint balls hasve been increasing in number. The lint balls have been increasing in number.

Or "The amount/number of lints balls has been increasing." You have to specify the aspect that increased, because alternatively it could mean something like "The lint balls have been increasing in size."

I waoke up in the back of the drawer again today, too. I woke up in the back of the drawer again today.

Today, I wake upagain in the back of a drawer today, too. Today, I wake again in the back of a drawer.

Shortening "wake up" to "wake" here makes this read more like a poem.

I wake up in the back of the drawer today, too. I wake up in the back of the drawer today, too.

You can use "the" since we know you're a sock, and it's expected that socks go in a drawer. I prefer this to using "a drawer" because "a drawer" could mean that it was a different drawer from the last time you woke up (unless you intend that meaning?)

In a quiet place, alone—just one. In a quiet place, alone—just one.

The original sentence is grammatically correct, but to try to capture more of the nuance of the sock referring to itself as "ひとり" before correcting to "ひとつ", these could be two possible options: "In a quiet place, alone - or rather, just one half of a pair."/"In a quiet place, by myself - no, by itself."

In a quiet place, alone—just onme. In a quiet place, alone—just me.

In a quiet place, alone—just onethe deep silence, by myself... no, by itself. In the deep silence, by myself... no, by itself.

1) Since the emphasis is on the silence rather than the location in the Japanese version, "place" is removed 2) The ひとり vs ひとつ part is tricky as there is no equivalent of the personified vs objectified counter. Instead, we will make use of the "self" part to express the single unit nuance while changing the "my" to "it" for the epiphany of "I am just an object".

I think you were right to not try translating the ひとり、いや、ひとつ part. The closest thing like others have said is "by myself - no, itself," but that's weird because it sounds like the sock is suddenly referring to itself in third person. Sometimes things just don't translate!

"You too, someday, will become ..." "You too, someday, will become ..."

The color of the thread lookeds familiar. The color of the thread looks familiar.

The story is being told in the present tense, so maintaining that throughout is important.

Theat... familiar color of thea thread looked familiar. That... familiar color of a thread

Added a little pause to match with the あの nuance

That... soft texture. That... soft texture.

So... you’ve been here all along, right. So... you’ve been here all along.

So... you’ve been here all along, right.haven't you? So... you’ve been here all along, haven't you?

Just a little more poetic than "right", which sounds a bit more casual.

So... you’ve been here all along, right.? So... you’ve been here all along, right?

So... you’ve been here all along, right.haven't you? So... you’ve been here all along, haven't you?

Agreed with Lionel

The lint ballsy whispered something again today. They whisper something again today.

I eel like this could also be rewritten as: "There are whispers among them," for a more mysterious tone (like they are talking to each other behind your back).

The lint balls whispered something again today. The lint balls whisper again today.

The lint balls whispered something to be again today. The lint balls whispered something to be again today.

The lint balls whispered something again todayy whisper to me today as well. They whisper to me today as well.

Better to use "they" since you just mentioned the lint balls "again today" = it happened more than once in one day "today as well" = it happened today as well as on a different day Changed tense to present to fit with the rest
