}} | }}NARRATOR: "Another day of class has finally dragged itself to a close. Somehow 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." | ||
NARRATOR: "I head down the hallway and make my way to my room. I sit down and half-heartedly pick at my homework for a while, feeling like a vulture picking at a particularly unsavory carcass.

NARRATOR: "I know it's a losing battle, but I fight it anyway. | NARRATOR: "I know it's a losing battle, but I fight it anyway. Halfway through my math homework I put my pencil down.

NARRATOR: "I figure that's about right." | NARRATOR: "I figure that's about right. At the moment, Emi's the only person I can think of who I could visit. Emi looks offended by my statement." | ||
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: "Somehow I think that's all that Emi has in the way of hobbies." | 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." | ||

EMI: "She says we both chase after an extreme. | 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.
