Typical Midori response. The end of this year was going to crush her, Akemi figured. It was sad, but... at this point, what could she say to convince the younger girl that there was more than one person in this entire school? Her isolationist attitude had probably already scared off the rest of her class, too. This was such a bother...
Well, troublesome or not, Midori was still a fellow student, and the closest thing Akemi had to a friend. She was obligated to keep trying, even if she really should be focusing on work, exams, and her future college. If she dare say so, Akemi felt she was a very nice and accommodating individual!

"Let's hurry, then," Akemi said simply, heading for the door. She waited for the other girl to exit before closing it, and set of briskly down the hall. The second she got home, Akemi figured she could finally make some leeway with her studies today.
