"The door down the hall opens with a crack as it swings forward from being pushed opened too strongly and crashing against the wall. The sound is followed by a peal of bubbly laughter, and I instantly know who it is."

"At the noise, Kenji disappears into his room like a ninja, slamming the door shut just as Shizune and Misha walk over, the former taking small, efficient steps towards me while the latter more or less bounces off the walls."

"I try to do the same as Kenji, but it's too late. Misha puts her foot between my door to prevent me closing it, so I have no other choice but to let them in."

"I wonder if the pause between those two sentences was politely long enough."

"Interesting. I didn't think joining the Student Council would be a heroic deed worthy of Hercules."

HISAO: "Well... I guess I did promise so..."

"I've neglected Shizune, and only now do I notice her in the corner of my vision, peering around my room over my shoulder, her analytical eyes darting from object to object..."

"This is kinda intrusive, the feeling of being exposed crawls in my balls. Luckily I don't have dirty laundry on the floor or anything like that."

MISHA: "What are those?"

"She points at my collection of medications on the night table."

"I quickly step in front of them, trying to hide the stuff behind my back. Shizune takes a step back, looking suspicious, but it's an expression not without concern."

"I hope if I avoid it, she'll understand that I don't want her to keep prodding me about it."

HISAO: "Can we just put this aside for now?"

"As Misha translates, Shizune stares at me hard with her eyes focused and analytical as ever, peering at me curiously over the rims of her glasses."

"Her fingers press against each other thoughtfully, as if she's weighing the value of pursuing this further than necessary against the insult of disrespecting my wish."

"Her expression finally melts into a slight smile and she signs something to Misha."

MISHA: "Okay~! Then, we'll wait, and become better and better friends, and one day when you feel like it, you can tell us about it~!"

"Both of them smile widely at me, and I feel shocked and a little stupid about being like this."

"They are not stupid, and probably can at least halfway guess what's going on with me. And..."

"Such simple, kind words. I feel relieved that they don't think any worse of me even if I'm like this. Even if I'm not like the rest here. Even if I can't be at ease about it."

"Seems that behind the obnoxious, mischievous acts, both of these girls are really kind and good people. That's what I think."

HISAO: "Thanks."

HISAO: "So, you want me to help you out today, right? Since I'm one of you now?"

MISHA: "We've never walked to school together, Hicchan~."

"I almost want to ask why we would, but then it dawns on me. The both of them consider me their friend, like Misha said before. And they want to become better friends with me, even."

"It's weird, I've never really thought about them that way. Or any of the people I've met so far this week. Is it really so easy?"

"Just like that..."

HISAO: "Okay, let's go, then."

"Carrying three bags instead of one, I think about the day that's ahead of me. Of us."

"I can see students walking back and forth through the courtyard, probably in preparation of their own projects."

"The festival is practically here. That means there are only two possible reasons that my help is required."

"Either there is only a small amount of work left, and they just want a helping hand to wrap up the mundane final checks they are obligated to do."

"Or there is a ton of work left, and Shizune is putting on a calm face as a torrent of built-up procrastinated work threatens to kill us all."

MISHA: "That looks like a lot more than “just a few things”..."

"I can't fault either of them for being this way. Misha's just talking for Shizune, and Shizune is just curious by nature. Still, I wish the two of them would stop digging and take the hint. But Misha wouldn't pick up on it, and Shizune can't."

"Because of that, they keep pressing on."

HISAO: "It's really none of your business."

HISAO: "Shouldn't you be leaving? A man's room is private, you know."

"Shizune seems to take that as a challenge."

MISHA: "What does that mean, Hicchan? When someone sees something interesting, their first instinct is to ask what it is, that's obvious. What's wrong with that?"

HISAO: "Because, like I said, there's nothing to see."

show misha perky_confused


MISHA: "Hicchan, I think Shicchan is just concerned."

HISAO: "What I have in my room isn't any of your business, that's all."

MISHA: "But..."

HISAO: "Damn it! Sometimes, I wish you two would just stop playing around so much. It's not funny all the time. You know that, right?"

"I say it way more strongly than I meant to, almost yelling straight at Misha's face. She flinches and freezes in mid-sign, and even Shizune reacts to it even though she didn't hear me."

"It's the first time I've heard Misha speak without that familiar lilting up-and-down quality in her voice. It feels so strange to hear, and I want to apologize, but they have already turned to leave."

"As the silence settles in, I regret what I said more and more."
