NARRATOR: "I nervously rap on the door marked 225, checking my watch once again."
LILLY: "Is that you, Hisao? The door is open, you can come in."
NARRATOR: "Lilly's voice lilts through the door and soothes my nerves."
NARRATOR: "This is the first time I've been invited to a girl's room after dark."
NARRATOR: "Even though I know there is no ulterior motive behind this invitation, it doesn't stop my mind running wild with possibilities."
NARRATOR: "One guy. Two girls. In a dorm room. With a tea set."
NARRATOR: "When I put it like that, it sounds a little dodgy."
NARRATOR: "Giving a small sigh to steady myself, I gingerly put my hand on the handle and open the door, craning my head to see inside."

NARRATOR: "The door opens completely and I catch my first glimpse of Lilly's room."
NARRATOR: "Her furniture looks almost antique, but the bare walls and flat surfaces are barely decorated at all. In the center of the room sits a low table, where I see a small tea set at rest."
NARRATOR: "It seems that everything in this room has its place, possibly excepting the several piles of books stacked up against the wall."
NARRATOR: "My sense of vision isn't the only one to be stimulated; the faint smell of something can be picked up on the air. Nail polish, perfume, makeup... it's hard to describe in any way other than “girly”."
NARRATOR: "My eyes finish their quick sweep of the room, before returning their position onto the girls."

NARRATOR: "Opposite her, Hanako sits adorned in a conservative light pink gown."
NARRATOR: "Her hands are firmly fixed between her legs, her shoulders forward, and her head down, as if trying to hide herself in it."
NARRATOR: "It would be easy for her to do; it looks about two sizes too big for her."
NARRATOR: "Waves of flannel flow from her frame, making her look like a child playing dress-up in her parents' clothes."
NARRATOR: "She looks up to confirm my identity, and the beginnings of a thin smile creep across her face, before vanishing so fast that I can't be sure they ever were there."

LILLY: "My my, I'm afraid this really is a small room for the three of us. Would you like to take a seat?"
NARRATOR: "I slowly walk to the table and sit down, trying my hardest not to disturb anything along the way."
NARRATOR: "I also can't help but steal a quick glance into Lilly's top as I sit."

NARRATOR: "It looks odd when contrasted with Lilly's plain but generally sophisticated-looking furniture, which leads me to think that Hanako might have picked it out."

n "I think back to my chat with Misha the other day."
n "Is Hanako's behavior something to be concerned about, or is she just shy?"
n "And then there was Lilly earlier this morning."
n "The concern from both of them seemed to be genuine, and they know the situation better than I."
n "But, really, how could I possibly help?"
n "I'm no plastic surgeon, so I can't really help her appearance. Nor am I a psychologist that can make her more sociable."
n "So what the hell do Lilly and Misha want me to do?"
n "It's frustrating. Hanako and I are quickly becoming friends on our own accord, and because of that, it's like everyone wants me to solve all her problems."
n "And I have no idea how to do that."
n "No one can cure my heart, nor Lilly's eyes, nor anyone who is here, in this school."
n "However, I see no harm in becoming better friends with Hanako. Now that she's warming up to me I kind of enjoy hanging out with her."

n "Lilly seems genuinely concerned for Hanako's well being, but it's not like I can do anything to help her."
n "As far as I can tell, her scars don't hold her back physically, and everyone I've met seems to have overcome their disabilities to some extent."
n "I don't have any ulterior motives to hang out with Hanako, we just share similar interests."

LILLY: "So, Hisao, are you enjoying yourself?"
NARRATOR: "Lilly's words break me out of my reverie, and I take a second to reconsider where I am."
NARRATOR: "I'm in a room with two girls in their bedclothes. This is something to be enjoyed."
HISAO: "Yeah, it's relaxing. Almost like I'm not in the school any more. Do you do this often?"
show lilly basic_weaksmile_paj with charachange
LILLY: "Quite often, but not as often as we take tea in the school building."
NARRATOR: "Considering they do that nearly every day, that's not a big surprise."
NARRATOR: "As I move to take another sip from my teacup, I find it sadly empty."
HISAO: "That was delicious. Thank you Hanako, Lilly."

HANAKO: "You're welcome."
LILLY: "Yes, you're most welcome Hisao. It's nice to have a third person here."
HISAO: "Well, any time you need someone to fill that position, I'm always available. Always."
NARRATOR: "One must be sure to get one's point across in these circumstances. Lilly lets loose a yawn, which she unsuccessfully hides with her hand."
LILLY: "Pardon me, I think I'm a little tired."
HANAKO: "I think we're all a little tired..."
LILLY: "My my, how astute we are tonight, Hanako. We really should head to bed; we all have class tomorrow."
HISAO: "Yeah... I should go."
LILLY: "Thank you for your presence, Hisao."
HANAKO: "Th... thanks. You'll come again?"
HISAO: "Not even a whole army could stop me."
LILLY: "I'm impressed by your determination, Hisao."
HISAO: "Either way, you're right. We'd best get going."
NARRATOR: "I stand up, and make for the door. Hanako gingerly stands up behind me. I stop and face her."
HISAO: "Are you coming with me?"
NARRATOR: "Hanako instantly blossoms into full blush."
HANAKO: "No... I... not... this room... isn't..."
HISAO: "It's okay, I was only joking."
HANAKO: "Oh... okay... good night..."
LILLY: "Good night, Hanako. Good night, Hisao."
HISAO: "Night all."
NARRATOR: "And with that, our tea party finishes. I'm still not sure what it is that Lilly wants me to do for Hanako, but I don't want to let her down. I wait until the door has closed behind us before turning to Hanako."
HISAO: "Hey, Hanako, you know, you don't have to be nervous around me or anything."
HISAO: "I mean, we're friends, right?"
HANAKO: "R-right. We're... friends."
HISAO: "If you ever want to hang out or anything, just let me know. We still need to have that chess rematch, remember?"
HANAKO: "S-sure... B-but I don't think you'll win..."
HISAO: "It wouldn't be any fun if it was easy."
NARRATOR: "Hanako seems to give a muted laugh, but she could have just as easily been exhaling."
HANAKO: "G-good night Hisao..."
NARRATOR: "With that, Hanako quickly retreats into her room, located next to Lilly's. I start to walk back to my dorm, but the simple act of walking seems to drain me of my energy. I barely make it to my room before I am hit by a wave of exhaustion. I kick off my shoes, fall into bed and fall asleep by the time my head hits the pillow."
