[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.]

[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?

A lot of us have come here pretty recently, so it wouldn't make sense for you to be the only one trying to adjust to a new curriculum. Right?

[realmenknitplushies]

Well, yeah. An' I've been here since the start'a the year, so a lotta folks have to be gettin' used to things...

[martyrerkomplex]

We all have different strengths and weaknesses, too, so I'm sure we could all help each other.

[realmenknitplushies]

Heh. If anyone needs a hand with stuff that ain't all calculation and essays, I can ... probably try, I guess?

[martyrerkomplex]

You can at least give moral support, right?

[realmenknitplushies]

'We're all in it together', yeah!

[martyrerkomplex]

And it would be easy to get people to check your work, or to brainstorm ideas out loud...
