I feel very tired this morning, probably because yesterday itself was a very tiring day. On top of that, I woke up far earlier than necessary.


After saying hi to [[Shizune Hakamichi|Shizune]] and [[Shiina Mikado|Misha]], I start doing the work as instructed from the board. It already looks like today is going to be heavy.
''This scene marks the beginning of [[Wednesday]] in Act 1.''


I don't have a problem with that now, though. Shizune and Misha might jump on me trying to get an answer about whether or not I've decided to join the Student Council, even if it's just one day.

Shizune and Misha might jump on me trying to get an answer about whether or not I've decided to join the Student Council, even if it's just one day. I wouldn't put it past them to try, and I don't have an answer for them if they do. So, this situation is convenient for me.


I wouldn't put it past them to try, and I don't have an answer for them if they do. So, this situation is convenient for me.
NARRATOR: "About ten minutes into class, Hanako walks in and takes a seat, but no one looks at her. The teacher doesn't even comment on her lateness. He does, however, stop us to say that we're going to break into groups again. I turn my head and see that Shizune and Misha are looking at me. Shizune gives me a smile that is equal parts cute and menacing. This is a smile that says 'We have you now. There is no escape.'"


About ten minutes into class, [[Hanako Ikezawa|Hanako]] walks in and takes a seat, but no one looks at her. The teacher doesn't even comment on her lateness.
MISHA: "Hicchan~, it looks like we're together again! Yay yay~!"


He does, however, stop us to say that we're going to break into groups again.
NARRATOR: "Misha leans sideways while Shizune pushes her desk closer to mine. There really is no escape now unless I were to jump through the window. Jumping out the window isn't the best option, sadly."


I turn my head and see that Shizune and Misha are looking at me. Shizune gives me a smile that is equal parts cute and menacing. This is a smile that says "We have you now. There is no escape."
SHIZUNE: "..."


Misha
MISHA: "What's wrong, Hicchan?"
"Hicchan~, it looks like we're together again! Yay yay~!"


Misha leans sideways while Shizune pushes her desk closer to mine. There really is no escape now unless I were to jump through the window.
SHIZUNE: "..."


Jumping out the window isn't the best option, sadly.
MISHA: "Oh... Hicchan, have you been thinking about what you said yesterday? You said that you would think about joining the Student Council, didn't you? It's okay, Hicchan. We were talking about it after you left, and it would be rude to expect you to already have an answer for us this early, right? Right~! Hahahahahaha~!"


Shizune
NARRATOR: "I'm so happy you two are able to have a laugh at my expense, and even more pleased to know that you both know how crazy the two of you can be. Now that that's over, Shizune snaps back into serious mode and smacks today's assignment with the back of her hand in an overly dramatic and important way. When I actually look at the stuff, it's mostly just reading. In fact, there are only two problems. I almost want to say something about how her rush to get started seems a bit much, considering the small amount of work. In fact, Shizune probably knows how little there is, and simply doesn't care. Yeah, it seems like the workload doesn't matter to her as much as the fact that there is work; the actual amount is unimportant. She approaches everything with the same level of ambition.
"..."


Misha
NARRATOR: "While I'm reading, I let my eyes wander around the room and catch Hanako trying her hand at solving the problems. It looks like she's working alone. I can't remember seeing her working with other people before. Thinking back to how shy she is, it's understandable."
"What's wrong, Hicchan?"


Shizune
HISAO: "Hey, that girl over there..."
"..."


Misha
MISHA: "Huh? Who, Hicchan?"
"Oh... Hicchan, have you been thinking about what you said yesterday? You said that you would think about joining the Student Council, didn't you?"


Misha
HISAO: "Her. Hanako. Over there. Does she always work alone?"
"It's okay, Hicchan. We were talking about it after you left, and it would be rude to expect you to already have an answer for us this early, right? Right~!"


Misha
MISHA: "I think so, Hicchan. Do you feel sorry for her because she's alone?"
"Hahahahahaha~!"


I'm so happy you two are able to have a laugh at my expense, and even more pleased to know that you both know how crazy the two of you can be.
HISAO: "I was just thinking that maybe she could work with us, or something."


Now that that's over, Shizune snaps back into serious mode and smacks today's assignment with the back of her hand in an overly dramatic and important way.
MISHA: "Hmmmm... No, I don't think that would be a good idea, Hicchan."


When I actually look at the stuff, it's mostly just reading. In fact, there are only two problems.
HISAO: "Why not?"


I almost want to say something abot how her rush to get started seems a bit much, considering the small amount of work. In fact, Shizune probably knows how little there is, and simply doesn't care.
MISHA: "Shicchan wouldn't get along with her."


Yeah, it seems like the workload doesn't matter to her as much as the fact that there is work; the actual amount is unimportant. She approaches everything with the same level of ambition.
HISAO: "Why?"


While I'm reading, I let my eyes wander around the room and catch Hanako trying her hand at solving the problems. It looks like she's working alone.
NARRATOR: "Misha shuffles around the question, letting out a laugh that sounds very strange; it's nervous, but still has that lilting up-and-down quality present in everything she says."


I can't remember seeing her working with other people before.
MISHA: "Just because, Hicchan."


Thinking back to how shy she is, it's understandable.
NARRATOR: "By now, Shizune has noticed our conversation, and it makes me realize again how Misha has been signing everything she has been saying this whole time."


Hisao
SHIZUNE: "..."
"Hey, that girl over there..."


Misha
MISHA: "What, Shicchan? The friend of my enemy is my enemy? That sounds so harsh, I'm not going to say that."
"Huh? Who, Hicchan?"


Hisao
HISAO: "You said it anyway."
"Her. Hanako. Over there. Does she always work alone?"


Misha
MISHA: "I know, Hicchan, it's fine if you overhear~!"
"I think so, Hicchan. Do you feel sorry for her because she's alone?"


Hisao
NARRATOR: "I wonder if this is Misha's way of keeping things fair, since without her, I wouldn't be able to understand a thing Shizune is saying, and vice versa. Is that also why she signs all the time, so there is never a conversation Shizune will be left out of?"
"I was just thinking that maybe she could work with us, or something."


Misha
SHIZUNE: "..."
"Hmmmm... No, I don't think that would be a good idea, Hicchan."


Hisao
MISHA: "Anyway, we should start on the problems now, Hicchan."
"Why not?"


Misha
NARRATOR: "We finish with time to spare, and I decide to ask if there are any alternatives to the cafeteria, as frankly, the food so far has been subpar. This sends Shizune and Misha arguing among themselves about their favorite restaurants. All of them are downtown, so I don't think we have time to go all the way there. And what about the bill? Are they arguing just for the fun of it? Maybe. They seem so distracted by it that they don't even notice the start of the actual lunch break. I look over my shoulder towards the back of the classroom."
"Shicchan wouldn't get along with her."


Hisao
NARRATOR: "She seems to be studying her notes from the previous class. It's an odd sight; everyone else in the class is busying themselves with the lunch break. Socializing, gossiping, rearranging desks, the ones with actual boxed lunches mixed in and chattering like everyone else, only interrupted by short bouts of eating. But, when I watch Hanako, it feels that I'm the only one who can see her. Almost as if she was invisible; sort of hiding in plain sight. Is she being bullied? Is she isolating herself from the rest of the class on her own accord? I see her look over her shoulder towards the classroom's rear door. Come to think of it, she hasn't turned a page since I've started watching her. I guess she's waiting for someone. What to do..."
"Why?"


Misha shuffles around the question, letting out a laugh that sounds very strange; it's nervous, but still has that lilting up-and-down quality present in everything she says.
Misha
"Just because, Hicchan."
By now, Shizune has noticed our conversation, and it makes me realize again how Misha has been signing everything she has been saying this whole time.
Shizune

What to do...

Go talk with Hanako.=

Well, at least she remembers my name.

Hisao
NARRATOR: "I do what I always do when I don't know what to do. Like now. I've already started on one of the books I borrowed yesterday, and took it with me to school to fill the empty moments between classes. I find the page that I creased a corner of to mark the spot I left yesterday night, and pick up from there.  
"Hey... I just wanted to apologize for yesterday."
 
Hisao
"I didn't mean to startle you or anything."
 
Hisao
"I'm just new here and thought I should get to know my classmates."
 
As Hanako looks up at me, I notice her scarring once more.
 
It's a little bewildering that you can barely notice it from across the room, but it's so noticeable from close up.
 
Hanako
"T... that's okay."
 
Hanako
"It... it was my fault."
 
Hisao
"Nah, that wasn't anyone's 'fault,' it just kind of happened."
 
Hisao
"So, are you waiting for someone? I saw you looking at the door before..."
 
Hanako
"Y-yes... [[Lilly Satou|Lilly]]."
 
Hisao
"Oh, you mean Lilly the blind girl?"
 
Hanako only nods in response, and I can't help but wonder if defining people through their disabilities is a faux pas of the worst kind or just normal here.
 
I guess that explains why Lilly took off after her yesterday.
 
Hisao
"She seems like a nice girl. Are you two friends?"
 
Hanako
"Y-yes."
 
As if hoping for Lilly to appear, she checks over her shoulder again.
 
I think I'm making her nervous again.
 
Hisao
"I hope I'm not disturbing you right now..."
 
Hanako
"N-no, that's not it."
 
Hanako
"It's just easier if Lilly doesn't come here..."
 
Hisao
"Oh, because it's hard to get around the classroom?"
 
Hanako
"Not... really."
 
Hanako's gaze drifts past my shoulder and towards Shizune.
 
Hisao
"Shizune?"
 
Hanako nods again.
 
Hisao
"What about her? Don't they get along?"
 
Hanako shakes her head. Clearly this is something she doesn't want to talk about.
 
It does make a strange sort of sense, Shizune and Lilly not getting along so well.
 
Communication between the two would be all but impossible. It's hard enough talking to Shizune through Misha, even when you can see whose hands are "talking."
 
Hanako is so focused on Shizune that I am the first to notice Lilly at the door.
 
Hisao
"Oh, she's here now."
 
Hanako spins around to confirm this. Upon seeing Lilly, she moves quickly to the door.
 
Hanako
"Lilly..."
 
Lilly
"Ah, Hanako. Good morning. Is the president here?"
 
Hanako
"Y-yes."
 
Hanako glances over her shoulder at Shizune again, as if to confirm she can't hear them even though that's impossible.
 
Lilly
"I suppose we'd best be off, then."
 
Lilly's sigh and tone of what seems like frustration makes me raise an eyebrow. I guess there's some kind of enmity between the two.


It's intriguing, but that's not really something I'd ask about. I'm sure if they wanted me to know, then they would tell me.
NARRATOR: "Misha and Shizune are still arguing heatedly, probably about restaurants still. If I joined them, I'd just get caught up in that, or worse, get grilled about joining the Student Council. Misha isn't speaking aloud since there is nobody who'd need to hear what they are talking about. But why does she tend to sign things even when Shizune doesn't need to understand what's being said, or even more strangely, when Shizune is not around at all? What an odd conflict of habits. I find it hard to focus on the book, and besides, the lunch break beckons me to leave the dullness of the classroom. I do so, heading down for the cafeteria. Misha and Shizune, having come to a conclusion of one kind or another, follow in my wake though still talking in their animated fashion."


It's only my third day here; I should be trying to make friends, not finding out why people are enemies.

NARRATOR: "I still feel bad for making her run away yesterday, so I'd better say something."


Still, it's a little funny to find out that this school has little feuds, just like my old high school.
HISAO: "Um, hey there, Hanako."


Even if people are more tolerant of others, they're still going to get on each other's nerves.
HANAKO: "H... Hisao?"


Hisao
NARRATOR: "Well, at least she remembers my name."
"Hey Lilly. How are things? I'm sorry I made you run off yesterday..."


Lilly
HISAO: "Hey... I just wanted to apologize for yesterday. I didn't mean to startle you or anything. I'm just new here and thought I should get to know my classmates."
"Oh my, is that Hisao? I didn't realize you were here..."


It seems that Lilly is a little embarrassed about being so frank in front of me.
NARRATOR: "As Hanako looks up at me, I notice her scarring once more. It's a little bewildering that you can barely notice it from across the room, but it's so noticeable from close up."


Hanako
HANAKO: "T... that's okay. It... it was my fault."
"S-sorry Lilly. I thought you realized..."


Lilly
HISAO: "Nah, that wasn't anyone's 'fault', it just kind of happened. So, are you waiting for someone? I saw you looking at the door before..."
"No, it's all right, Hanako."


Lilly
HANAKO: "Y-yes... Lilly."
"Hisao, please don't worry about yesterday. It was just a misunderstanding."


Hisao
HISAO: "Oh, you mean Lilly the blind girl?"
"If... you say so. I'm still working this place out."


Lilly
NARRATOR: "Hanako only nods in response, and I can't help but wonder if defining people through their disabilities is a faux pas of the worst kind or just normal here. I guess that explains why Lilly took off after her yesterday."
"Well then, I think you'll find most people here a lot more forgiving than elsewhere."


Lilly
HISAO: "She seems like a nice girl. Are you two friends?"
"If you are feeling a little confused, please don't be afraid to ask questions."


Hisao
HANAKO: "Y-yes."
"Sure, I'll remember that."


Hanako
NARRATOR: "As if hoping for Lilly to appear, she checks over her shoulder again. I think I'm making her nervous again."
"Um... Lilly..."


Lilly gives a small nod of acknowledgment.
HISAO: "I hope I'm not disturbing you right now..."


Lilly
HANAKO: "N-no, that's not it. It's just easier if Lilly doesn't come here..."
"I'm sorry Hisao, but we must be off."


Hanako really doesn't look all that comfortable here right now, and Lilly still seems a little embarrassed.
HISAO: "Oh, because it's hard to get around the classroom?"


I wonder if my apologies really made any impact.
HANAKO: "Not... really."


Hisao
NARRATOR: "Hanako's gaze drifts past my shoulder and towards Shizune."
"Mind if I accompany you two?"


I know I'm kinda pushing it, but... Lilly hmms quietly, still smiling.
HISAO: "Shizune?"


Lilly
NARRATOR: "Hanako nods again."
"I'm sure that we could accommodate you, can't we, Hanako?"


She looks at Lilly, then at me, and then she freezes, wide-eyed.
HISAO: "What about her? Don't they get along?"


Hanako
NARRATOR: "Hanako shakes her head. Clearly this is something she doesn't want to talk about. It does make a strange sort of sense, Shizune and Lilly not getting along so well.

Hanako is so focused on Shizune that I am the first to notice Lilly at the door."
"S... sure."


Lilly
HISAO: "Oh, she's here now."
"Well then, shall we go?"


I'm sure Lilly wouldn't do this so easily if she saw how scared Hanako looks, but it can't be helped now.
NARRATOR: "Hanako spins around to confirm this. Upon seeing Lilly, she moves quickly to the door."


Declining after the deal is sealed would only cause confusion and problems.
HANAKO: "Lilly..."

LILLY: "Ah, Hanako. Good morning. Is the president here?"

Wait for Shizune and Misha to come to a decision.=


Misha and Shizune are still arguing about their choice for lunch place, incomprehensible for a pair of high school students who have to take a taxi at least to make it to downtown and back in time.
HANAKO: "Y-yes."


Hisao
NARRATOR: "Hanako glances over her shoulder at Shizune again, as if to confirm she can't hear them even though that's impossible."
"Haven't you finished, already?"


Misha
LILLY: "I suppose we'd best be off, then."  
"Oh, sorry Hicchan! Were you waiting for us?"


Shizune
NARRATOR: "Lilly's sigh and tone of what seems like frustration makes me raise an eyebrow. I guess there's some kind of enmity between the two. It's intriguing, but that's not really something I'd ask about. I'm sure if they wanted me to know, then they would tell me.

Misha
HISAO: "Hey Lilly. How are things? I'm sorry I made you run off yesterday..."
"You don't have any plans?"


Hisao
LILLY: "Oh my, is that Hisao? I didn't realize you were here..."
"Plans?"


Misha
NARRATOR: "It seems that Lilly is a little embarrassed about being so frank in front of me."
"For lunch?"


Hisao
HANAKO: "S-sorry Lilly. I thought you realized..."
"Well, I don't, so I thought I could hang with you guys."


Misha smiles victoriously at my lack of plans, and excitedly translates my response to Shizune.
LILLY: "No, it's all right, Hanako. Hisao, please don't worry about yesterday. It was just a misunderstanding."


Shizune
HISAO: "If... you say so. I'm still working this place out."
"..."


Misha
LILLY: "Well then, I think you'll find most people here a lot more forgiving than elsewhere. If you are feeling a little confused, please don't be afraid to ask questions."
"If you don't have anything specific planned out, do you want to eat lunch with me and Shicchan? Ah, we're going to go to town for lunch, though... Don't worry, Hicchan, it's not that far."


Hisao
HISAO: "Sure, I'll remember that."
"Sure, I'll come with you."


And with that, we leave the classroom.
HANAKO: "Um... Lilly..."

Read my book.=


I do what I always do when I don't know what to do.
