Unexpectedly, I managed to stay awake for the whole day. I'm pretty sure that counts as a miracle. My legs seem unwilling to stand up for a moment. I guess the run took a lot out of me. I head down the hallway and make my way to my room. I sit down and half-heartedly chip away at my homework for a while, feeling like a vulture picking at a particularly unsavory carcass. It knows this is what it eats, but it's not sure that it shouldn't be ordering takeout instead. I don't think I can take this, but it's important to get my work done." HISAO: "Now let's see... what was I supposed to be looking over again?" NARRATOR: "I know it's a losing battle, but I fight it anyway. Halfway through my math homework, I put my pencil down. This isn't working. I need a distraction. Unfortunately, my options for distractions are rather slim. I'm not in the mood to read, right now. Kenji is, unusually, out of his room at the moment. If I go to the student council room, I'll just end up doing work for those two. And heaven only knows where everyone else is, except for..." NARRATOR: "Well, I suppose that's an option. I grab my shoes and head for the track. Emi's probably down there. Track practice is just ending as I arrive at the track. The sun's beginning to dip low in the sky. Has it really gotten that late already?" EMI: "What are you doing down here, Hisao? Come to spy on me, have you?" NARRATOR: "I give a shrug. To be honest, I'm not sure why I'm down here." HISAO: "I didn't have anything better to do." NARRATOR: "I figure that's about right. At the moment, Emi's the only person I can think of who I could visit." EMI: "So I'm your last resort, am I? Nobody cool around, so I'll just go see Emi, is that what you thought?" NARRATOR: "She actually looks angry. A chance for some teasing of my own presents itself." HISAO: "Actually, yeah, I guess you are." NARRATOR: "Emi pouts, widening her eyes to give the maximum amount of puppy-dog resemblance." HISAO: "Kidding! I was kidding!" EMI: "So you are down here to stalk me!" NARRATOR: "Wait, what?" HISAO: "That's not what I meant! Why would I stalk you anyway? It's not like you require stalking. If you're not asleep or in class, you're down here, right?" NARRATOR: "Emi laughs at this comment." EMI: "Well, you're not all wrong, I suppose - but you forgot about eating. I do that too, you know." NARRATOR: "I nod, conceding the point." EMI: "Plus I hang out with Rin sometimes too... so really I might take some effort to stalk." HISAO: "What do you two do together anyway? You don't seem to have a lot in common." NARRATOR: "She puts her hands on her hips and assumes a superior air." EMI: "That's what you think. I've got all sorts of hidden hobbies, you know." HISAO: "Oh really? Like what?" NARRATOR: "Emi puts her head to one side, as if she's trying to remember what it is she does in her free time." EMI: "Well, Rin and I go out shopping sometimes." NARRATOR: "I guess that makes sense. Emi's a girl, after all. But Rin?" HISAO: "Rin comes with you?" EMI: "We usually swing by the art supply store. Plus she likes this music store that sells all kinds of weird sounding stuff. She says it helps focus her." NARRATOR: "That makes a little more sense." HISAO: "I see. Any other hidden hobbies?" NARRATOR: "Emi wags a finger at me." EMI: "Now now, why would I go and reveal all my dark secrets to you? We hardly know one another!" NARRATOR: "Somehow I think that's all that Emi has in the way of hobbies. Still, I don't think my question's been answered." HISAO: "Even if you do have a few hobbies, I still don't see why you hang out with Rin so much. I mean, she's kind of weird, isn't she?" NARRATOR: "This comment causes Emi to laugh loudly." EMI: "Ha! That's the understatement of the year!" HISAO: "So why? I mean, you're a lot better at conversation and stuff, so I figure you'd hang out with a lot of people, but I think I've only ever seen you with Rin." NARRATOR: "Emi seems unusually defensive." EMI: "Hey, I hang out with plenty of people that aren't Rin! You just don't see me doing it because I'm not in your classes." HISAO: "Okay, but that still doesn't explain why you hang out with Rin." NARRATOR: "I'm not even sure why I want to know this. I guess it is because lunch was so strange. Emi shrugs, looking for a moment very Rin-ish." EMI: "It's because we have similar outlooks." NARRATOR: "If you were to ask me the least likely answer to my question, that would be it." HISAO: "What do you mean?" EMI: "It's like... Okay, Rin paints and stuff, right?" HISAO: "Yes..." NARRATOR: "I'm not sure where this is going." EMI: "Well, I run." HISAO: "And?" EMI: "And... that's why we're similar." HISAO: "... You lost me." NARRATOR: "Emi frowns, as if trying to figure out her answer." EMI: "Well, maybe it's that we do things for the same reasons." HISAO: "Huh?" EMI: "You know, we follow our passions." HISAO: "So you're passionate about running and Rin's passionate about art, is that it?" EMI: "Well, sort of. Let me think... Well, Rin explained it to me once, but I don't know how much of it I followed." NARRATOR: "Not surprising. I think any explanation from Rin would probably confuse anyone." EMI: "She says we both chase after an extreme. Like, she's always trying to find a new way to show a particular feeling or something. And I run because of the feeling I get from it. And since we don't allow ourselves to be slowed down by anything, we make a connection based on that." HISAO: "What do you mean βslowed down by anything?β" NARRATOR: "Emi looks surprised and points to her legs." EMI: "You know, because I'm a runner. And Rin's a painter even without arms. So we respect each other's determination. And that's why we hang out. I think." NARRATOR: "Well, I'm not sure that made any sense to me...but from Emi's sheepish expression, she's not sure about it either." EMI: "Honestly, it's not something I think about much. We just get along - I think that's really all that matters." NARRATOR: "I suppose she's got a point there. Another question strikes me, and since I've got nothing better to do, I ask it." HISAO: "So what got you so into running, anyway?" EMI: "Oh, I've been running since I was really little! My dad was a runner, and so as soon as I could walk, he started teaching me how to run. It was our father/daughter thing, you know? Our own mutual hobby." NARRATOR: "A shadow crosses her face, and I'm shocked to see her looking... sad. Did something happen between them?" EMI: "Man, I don't have a lot of time left. Sorry, but I've got to get a few more laps in before I go see the nurse!" NARRATOR: "She races off around the track, hair streaming in the wind. It seems to me she's going a lot faster than she was this morning. As she rounds the track, I catch a glimpse of her face. It's much the same as it was this morning, but her eyes seem to have taken on a harder edge. I guess she's right. I don't really know much about her. I watch her run for a little while, and then stand up to head back to my room." EMI: "Hey!" NARRATOR: "She spots me leaving and waves to catch my attention." EMI: "Don't forget! Same time tomorrow morning, got it?" HISAO: "Got it." NARRATOR: "I head back to my room. Homework beckons." <p style="text-align:center;">'''Next Scene: [[Second Time's the Worst/Transcript|Second Time's the Worst]]'''</p>{{Emi's Route}} [[Category:Act 2 Transcripts]] [[Category:Scenes in Emi's Route]] [[Category:Act 2 - Form Transcripts]] [[Category:Emi Scenes]] [[Category:Hisao Scenes]] [[Category:Emi's route]] [[Category:Act 2]]
