Just a short PSA: starting any rumors about murders is messed up. Don't do it. 0/10, do not recommend.

Other than that, a few things:

1) I'm a part of the student council now, and while I might be new to the job, if there's any assistance that I can help with, please don't hesitate to let me know.
2) I've finished up a guide draft for most subjects -- if anybody wants to take a look at it for any edits or additions, feel free to give me a heads up.

And with that aside, I suppose I have a personal and admittedly selfish inquiry of my own.

If anybody is willing to hear a girl out on a personal matter regarding relationships, I'd appreciate it. It's something that I'd rather do in person, but I just wanted to put feelers out there.

Anyway, that's it from me!

He's insightful about the oddest sort of things, if I'm going to be honest...but, mm. You're pretty strong for being able to say that.

[taketori]

--Is that strong? I was worried it would come across that I'm giving up in one way or another.

[dereban]

To me, it is. I mean -- that isn't the kind of thing that you'd just outright tell anyone, you know? Sure, 'giving up ' can sound kind of lame under most circumstances, but this is different.

There isn't changing the gap between life and death, and the possibility of seeing that person again is slim at best, and at worst... well, you understand. So I think that was kind of cool, actually.

[taketori]

[ Kind of cool... kind of cool...

Someone finally thinks he did something cool! ]

Thanks. It's just... it's easier to talk about this with you all of a sudden. I don't really know why.

[dereban]

Don't get used to me saying that.

[ Answered rather flatly, but then he says that last bit and her analysis brain goes into overdrive but is mostly going what is that supposed to mean?????

But instead of saying anything profound, her response is something stupid-- ]

Maybe it's an after effect of what happened last month.

1/2

[taketori]

An after effect, huh...

[ Yeah, of course. Some kind of residual feelings from what they went through, back when... ]

[taketori]

[ Wait, no?! ]

Hold it hold it hold it...! Shouldn't that have been long out of your system by now?! What's that supposed to mean going forward?!

[ Isn't that kinda awkward?! ]

[dereban]

Hm? It totally is out of my system, though. I just thought that's the more logical reason over the other one.

[taketori]

There's a different reason?!

[ ...when he takes a moment to think about it. ]

Actually, that might be right. That's probably it, just something a little left over! It'll pass, probably.

[dereban]

There are.

[ 'Are' meaning plural, there's several different reasons. ]

But you're pretty accepting of it even though there could be other potential reasons...

[taketori]

Well-- I mean, there could be. Although, I don't know if that's really...

I mean, that's...

[ ...How does he put this? ]

...What other reasons could there be?

[dereban]

I'm not telling.

[ But why??? ]

[taketori]

[ ?! ]

Then why even bring it up?!

[dereban]

Maybe I just want you to think a little bit.

[taketori]

What, are you trying to be a teacher too...?

[ What a vague answer. But. ]

I feel like any thoughts that could come up would be extremely counterproductive.

[dereban]

I think I'm pretty ill suited to be a teacher, to be honest.

[ Just to put it lightly. ]

You never know, though. Well, it's probably for the best that you don't know, anyway.

[taketori]

So wait, should I be thinking about it or should I just let it go?!

[ Auuugh, this is complicated! ]

If I do figure it out, then... where do we go from there?

[dereban]

That's for you to decide.

[ She answers both questions in one fell swoop. For some reason, however, there's something melancholy about the way she answers. ]
