1: action

[Kanji's trying to get homework done. Seriously. In a common room, surrounded by notes, a laptop (old, battered, with insulation taped to it) on the table in front of him...

Right. Let's do this. Let's ... get totally confused by the second question on the page. Literary analysis wouldn't even be his thing if it were in his first language, but English? It's definitely catching him out.]

What does the use of metaphor in this passage... ngh. Dammit.

[He screws up a piece of paper, hurls it across the room, not really looking at the direction it flies in.]

2: video

[Some time after the study attempts...]

Yo. I... kinda hate to say it, but... I'm lookin' for a bit of help, here. [A moment's pause-] Study tips. How to get this stuff to stick in your head 'n all that. I ain't smart, sure. I get that. But...

[He rubs his head, sighs.]

Someone's gotta have somethin', right?

I really like the character Koyumi. [The quiet, shy girl who specialized in embroidery.] She kind of reminds me a bit of myself, in some ways, though a bit exaggerated.

[realmenknitplushies]

[Oh, yeah - he nods.]

I can kinda see it...

[no_girl]

Yeah? Who's your favorite, then?

[realmenknitplushies]

Well, I always kinda liked Michiko, the way that she keeps the lot of 'em goin' even when... [Pause. Saying too much!] Uh, not that I... heh. [Laughing a spot here.]

[no_girl]

Watch it, buddy, no spoilers. [Martha laughed, though. He'd been figured out, but she obviously didn't seem to mind.]

[realmenknitplushies]

[Busted, indeed. But ... it could have gone a lot worse. Kanji scratches his head, looks away for a moment-] Heh, alright. No spoilers.
