After a few moments, comprehension dawned on Akane's face. That must be where she had seen the indigo-haired schoolgirl before. She smiled weakly at the older girl.

"I-it's nice to meet you, Katsura-senpai," she said. "Um, my name is Fujimori Akane, I'm from class 1-D."

She bowed her head, fidgeting with her bag a little nervously. She wasn't particularly used to talking with random people, even if that random person what one of her fellow students at East Umitori, and an upperclassmen at that. Although she didn't immediately notice, Melody seemed to be attempting to peer out of her bag without being seen immediately.

What happened next was a bit of a haphazard blob of attempted communication.

"Um, I was going to, er, get something to eat or something I guess and if I don't know er maybe you wanted to... do something like that somehow then maybe something would... would..."

Akane trailed off. Why was she trying this at all? She was terrible with people she didn't know, and yet somehow this girl felt more familiar then being an Upperclassmen at East Umitori, like they'd actually spoken recently... Akane shook her head.

"N-nevermind, sorry, I'll just, er..."

Akane began to turn away slowly, Melody frowning in her bag.
