+Lilly and Hanako quickly go about the business of making lunch.
+Before I can even open my small bag of food, Lilly's busying herself with her thermos and teabags as Hanako is setting out both their lunchboxes.
+Hisao
+"So, is this what you meant by coming here almost every day?"
+Lilly
+"Yes, Hanako and I usually have lunch here. It suits both of us, so we ended up using this room regularly."
+After seeing Hanako's reactions to me over the past couple of days, I can understand why that is a boon. That, and Lilly being able to get some quiet away from her class as well.
+I take my seat last, after Lilly's poured the tea for us and sits down.
+The more time I spend with these two girls, the more I think they're a perfect foil to Misha and Shizune.
+Even without a voice, Shizune is direct and brash, and Misha seems to get along with everyone. On the other hand, Lilly is soft-spoken and relaxed while Hanako seems to be the shyest girl I've ever met.
+Lilly
+"So, how are you faring in Yamaku, Hisao? You seemed a bit flustered before."
+Hisao
+"Apart from getting lost every now and again, and being crash-tackled outside my classroom? Fine I guess..."
+Hanako
+"You... you looked pretty hurt before. Are you really... okay?"
+For a brief moment, I consider telling Hanako and Lilly about my condition but then, I hold it back.
+I can't tell why, but for some reason I feel uncomfortable talking about it to these relative strangers, even if they have been pretty friendly.
+Hisao
+"Yeah, it's nothing. I was just a bit startled."
+Judging from the two girls' expressions, I don't think that they're buying it. But, in what I assume is their way of respecting my privacy, they don't press the matter.
+I guess that is one of the unwritten rules around here; "don't ask." Even if people's conditions are obvious, like Hanako's, there's still bound to be a story involved.
+Everyone has things that they don't feel comfortable speaking about, and I think everyone here recognizes that.
+Hisao
+"So, uh... how long have you been in this school? You both seem to know your way around pretty well."
+Lilly
+"Hmm... well, I've been here since the start of high school, but only moved into the dormitories a year ago."
+Lilly
+"Hanako joined at the start of high school as well, and moved to the dormitories when she did, if memory serves me right."
+Hanako
+"That's right. Since... high school."
+Hisao
+"So you've known each other since then?"
+Lilly
+"Since I moved, yes. Hanako lives next door to me, so it's only natural, right?"
+Hanako
+"R-right."
+Hisao
+"Yeah, of course."
+Living next to someone is probably reason enough to befriend them, though I'm guessing that Lilly's blindness played a part in it as well.
+I can't imagine Hanako easily making friends with someone who has to deliberately avoid looking at her scars.
+With the immediate conversation dried up, we start to eat our lunch.
+It isn't long before the bells are signaling the end of the break. Like me, the girls pack up their lunches as efficiently as they set them out.
+Lilly
+"I guess I'd better be off. Are you going to go with Hisao, Hanako?"
+Hanako looks up at me, and for a second I can see that she is considering skipping class, maybe just to avoid walking to the classroom with me.
+Hanako
+"Y-yes."
+I don't know what to think of it. Hanako really is delicate to the point of breaking if looked at in the wrong way. It makes me a bit nervous too, but I push the feeling aside, trying to be as natural as I can.
+Hisao
+"We should hurry then. Class has already started by the sound of it."
+Lilly gives a nod of farewell as she bends down to take her cane, Hanako and I filing out before her.
+We walk quickly down the empty halls to our respective classes.
+As we reach the door to Lilly's 3-2 classroom, she turns towards me.
+Lilly
+"Hisao, thank you for sharing lunch with us today."
+Hisao
+"My pleasure, Lilly."
+And with that, we part ways; Lilly entering her classroom and leaving Hanako and I to make off to our own. She's still looking like she wants to run away.
+Hisao
+"So, do you really want to go back to class now?"
+Hanako
+"Y-yes."
+Hisao
+"Okay then."
+I feel like I should say something more to her, but it's hard to come up with anything that would be appropriate and safe enough.
+And Lilly was right; the more time we spend out here, the more explaining we have to do.
+I open the rear door to the class, and walk in.
+The teacher looks up at me, and opens his mouth to say something.
+However, as Hanako follows me in and closes the door, he simply nods to us and continues his lecture.
+This is the third time that Hanako has had her truancy practically ignored. There's definitely something going on here.
+We make our way to our seats, and I notice that Misha and Shizune are both missing as well.
+I wonder if it is some form of informal agreement with the staff, or if it's a "perk" afforded to the unique students of this school?
+Trying to make as little disturbance as I can, I extract the relevant textbooks from my bag and start catching up.
+The class goes on quietly.
