Shizune's route: Difference between revisions

Line 23:

[[Hisao]] meets [[Shizune]] and [[Misha]] on his first day at [[Yamaku Academy|Yamaku]], being paired together to work in a group by [[Akio Mutou|Mutuo]], their homeroom and science teacher. At first, Hisao confuses Misha with the student council president, but is quick to realize that Misha is only the interpreter for Shizune, as she is deaf. Hisao also notices Shizune's burning desire to finish their schoolwork first, and Misha's overwhelming enthusiasm, letting Hisao get a glimpse of what the girls' personalities may be like. Afterwards, Hisao decides to have lunch with the girls, where they ask if he has any questions about the school over lunch. Later, the girls help Hisao find the nurse's office, and plan on seeing him the following day. Upon learning that Hisao has no interest in joining any particular groups or extra-curricular activities at lunch, Shizune and Misha (despite Hisao's protesting) decide to ask Hisao through a series of suggested bets and games, to join the student council. They finally decide on playing ''Risk, "''with no strings attached." After a lengthy and wild game, Misha and Shizune are impressed with his daring play style, and praise him for taking his chances.

The following day, Shizune and Misha drag Hisao off to the [[Shanghai]] cafe for an extended lunch, with Hisao having to endure more of the pairs' relentless teasing and recruitment attempts. Later in the week Hisao accidentally worms his way into an argument between Shizune and [[Lilly]] over the amount of work Lilly has done for the festival. Due a poor choice of words on Hisao's part, Shizune and Misha successfully coerce him into helping them build several of the festival stalls. After a while, (much to the girls' delight) Hisao reluctantly, gives in and joins the student council. The day before the festival, Misha and Shizune barge into Hisao's room, where Hisao feels extremely uncomfortable and embarrassed about his medications being strewn all over his dresser. However, Hisao manages to avoid telling them about his [[Arrhythmia]], and Misha comforts Hisao by telling him that she and Shizune will wait for Hisao to feel as if they are good enough friends that he is comfortable enough to share what they're for. And, Hisao appreciates the fact that the two are good natured people.The next day Shizune and Misha takes Hisao to Shanghai "tea shop" again and makes him do more student council work later that day. On the day of the festival, Hisao spends the day with the two girls, where they eat fried food in order to celebrate Hisao's new membership into the three-man student council. Later, the trio visit a stall that Hisao remembers building. It just so happens to be the exact stall Misha and Shizune wanted him to visit, a milk jug toss stall. Hisao then wins a stuffed cat doll for Shizune, before Hisao's day is abruptly spoiled by a reminder of his weak heart, and his fragile mortality.

Later, on the school rooftop, the trio ~~ate~~ more fried food for dinner and stared at the stars when Misha falls asleep. Continuing to grope the stuffed cat Hisao won for her, Shizune tries to communicate by using gestures, to no avail. The two have a special moment, despite the fact that the two cannot communicate properly. Shizune shows Hisao the stars and the view of the town and the festival in an attempt to raise his low spirits. As they watch the fireworks together Hisao thinks that he might be growing attracted to Shizune, and says this to her, taking advantage of her deafness.

If Hisao races with Emi: Hisao suffers a heart flutter on the track and is taken to the Nurse's office. When he returns to class Misha pesters him to find out where he was. Although Hisao does not reveal the incident on the track the duo coerce him to have lunch with them...

If Hisao takes it easy when running with Emi: The day before the festival, Misha and Shizune barge into Hisao's room, where Hisao feels extremely uncomfortable and embarrassed about his medications being strewn all over his dresser.

On the day of the festival, Hisao spends the day with the two girls, where they eat fried food in order to celebrate Hisao's new membership into the three-man student council. Later, the trio visit many stalls, including a stall that Hisao remembers building. It just so happens to be the exact stall Misha and Shizune wanted him to visit, a milk jug toss stall. Hisao then wins a stuffed cat doll, struggling to decide who to give it to he hands it to Shizune, and attempts to win a second one for Misha. In the process Hisao's day is abruptly spoiled by a reminder of his weak heart, and his fragile mortality when he suffers a brief heart flutter, a fact he keeps from the two girls.

Line 37:

Hisao wakes up the day after the festival, lingering on the night he had with Shizune and Misha. He realizes that he can't be thinking about how the festival went when he has exams to focus on, as they happen immediately after the festival, which he finds unfair. Deciding to study before class, Hisao goes outside to do so in the nice weather, still thinking about how things went at the festival being accompanied by Misha and Shizune. His thoughts are interrupted by Shizune approaching him from behind. Hisao attempts to greet her forgetting that she can't hear him, and greets her after realizing with a wave. He tries asking where Misha is, thinking that it's less awkward actually trying to hold a conversation with her by talking, even if she can't hear him.

In an attempt to communicate, Shizune slowly makes gestures in response. He sits there not knowing how to communicate back when Shizune realizes his struggle, taking the initiative by pulling out a pad of paper and pen. They then further their conversation this way, beginning with small talk, until Hisao asks about the stalls that they went to. Shizune tells him that they went to the stalls that he had built so he could feel a sense of accomplishment and feel proud about the work he had done. He thinks that it was a trick, but she explains that they had done so because he had looked depressed. She leaves soon after wishing him luck on his exams. Hisao thinks about the oddness of having a conversation on paper between two people that are in each other's presence and ponders learning sign language. Afterwards, Hisao decides to head back to the dorm. Kenji asks Hisao to retrieve his package from the post office, due to a lack of trust in the student counsel for delivering his mail to him. When he retrieves the package he finds himself stopping at the Shanghai cafe for lunch. he ~~was wondering what~~ Shizune ~~would like~~ and ~~there was no way~~ of ~~communication~~, Shizune turns ~~into that cat face~~ and tries to open the package, Hisao scolds her ~~and~~ Shizune ~~wrote~~ on the ~~table~~ saying "lets play a game" the rules ~~were~~ they ~~would~~ hold the package and the one that makes the package fall ~~brings~~ the package all the way to the dorm, Hisao accepts. On the way, Hisao touches the fingers of Shizune and makes her drop it, so she brings it to the dorm and Hisao ~~awakes~~ in ~~his room~~.

Hisao thinks about the oddness of having a conversation on paper between two people that are in each other's presence and ponders learning sign language. Afterwards, Hisao decides to head back to the dorm to try and find Misha, and tells her that he wants to learn sign language. She asks why, and he replies that it would make conversing with Shizune much easier, although requests that she keep it secret. After a sign language lesson Hisao runs into Misha who remarks that she wants to be a sign language teacher, which is why she is at Yamaku. She offers to tutor Hisao since he is behind the rest of the class, and he accepts somewhat reluctantly after a false start.

Hisao is later woken by Kenji who asks Hisao to retrieve his package from the post office, due to a lack of trust in the student counsel for delivering his mail to him. When he retrieves the package he finds himself stopping at the Shanghai cafe for lunch, wondering how it's still in business given that it is empty once again. Outside he meets Shizune, but the two are unable to communicate, which causes Yuuko some upset in trying to determine their order. She also remarks on the strange absence of menus and contradictory nature of a western style tea-house called the Shanghai. Hisao talks aloud to Shizune who cannot understand him and she in turn signs to him although his basic grasp of the language is wholly insufficient to understand. He notices that while he is talking to fill the silence, Shizune appears simply unwilling to change her normal behaviour for anyone.

Shizune turns mischievous and tries to open the package, Hisao scolds her, but Shizune writes on the box saying "lets play a game", wherin the rules are that they both hold the package and the one that makes the package fall carries the package all the way to the dorm. Although suspicious Hisao accepts, reasoning that 50/50 odds are the best so far for games with Shizune. On the way, Hisao accidentally touches the fingers of Shizune under the package and makes her drop it, so she brings it to the dorm, unwilling to accept Hisao's attempt to carry the package for her. He realizes that the game was an exercise in teamwork and not a competition, and that with her hands carrying the box Shizune is effectively 'silenced'. On the way back to Yamaku Shizune shivers in the cold air and Hisao offers her his jacket. She startles when his fingertips brush against her shoulders, but clumsily offers her thanks.

Sometime later Hisao is studying a sign langauge textbook in the cafeteria when Misha and Shizune recruit him, ostensibly for more student council work which he has neglected lately in order to study. When he reaches the office however the three play games, enjoying a respite before the stress of arranging the school's Tanabata festival.

==Act 3 ~ Sleight of Hand==

[[File:2Sleight-of-Hand.png|thumb|left|Act 3: Sleight of Hand]]

Hisao wakes up and begins to walk to the school. He runs into Shizune, using a notepad and talks to her about exams. She wishes him luck and walks off. Hisao then runs into Misha, and tells her that he wants to learn sign language. She asks why, and he replies that it would make conversing with Shizune much easier. Misha remarks that she wants to be his sign language tutor, and walks off.

The next morning, if Hisao rejects Misha's advances, he realizes that Misha's situation hit him harder than he thought. Feeling depressed, he skips class and hides in the library. Shizune finds him, and confronts him, remarking that she hasn't seen Misha all day either. The conversation eventually leads to the fact she's noticed Hisao's distress, and she asks him if he's all right. When he asks the same question of Shizune, she doesn't give a complete answer, and leaves. Hisao heads up to the roof, where he finds Misha sitting alone, depressed. It is now that she tells Hisao the truth: she has feelings for Shizune as well. She admits that she didn't initially want to come to Yamaku High, and she got dragged into the Student Council by Shizune just like Hisao. Shizune pushed her so hard to succeed, motivating her to get better at sign language and work hard in Student Council, that she eventually fell in love with her. She confessed her feelings to Shizune, and got rejected, and what bothers her most is that Shizune treated this event like she does with everything else: wiping it away, and moving on, as though it never happened. Misha's bitterness festered for 2 years, before Hisao showed up and began immediately growing just as close to Shizune as Misha had always wanted to be. All this time, Misha has been drifting away, eaten alive by her jealousy, angry at herself for being a hateful person. She is now having suicidal thoughts, and leans against the fence on the roof, as if she hopes to fall through it. Hisao pulls her back, and opens up, explaining his time at the hospital, and noting that Shizune doesn't let people in close unless it's on her terms. He knows she probably only got so close to Hisao because he rejected her so adamantly. She is always trying to pull people in close, and his determination not to let her in drove her to push harder. Hisao tells Misha that he admires her for having struggled the same way he had, all for the same reasons, and he is sad and angry that she is giving up. Shizune finds Hisao and Misha alone, and, sensing the tension in the air, proposes that they do something fun together in the Student Council room. Hisao remarks that it sounds like another trap to do more work, and Misha laughs. The tension subsides, and they leave together hand-in-hand.
