This was probably one of Tsubaki's least favorite mandatory activities. If it had been anyone else, she would have ignored them, but she still owed her father everything, so she did as she was told. Even if that involved sitting in a nearly empty school room on a Saturday, wearing the school's constricting uniform and participating in the school's only technical club.

At least the other students in the AV club didn't try and start conversations with her anymore. They just let her sit in silence and work on the equipment in the back of the room. If she had been forced to join am active club or, shudder to think, a team sport, she didn't know how she would have survived the year. Pushing unpleasant thoughts aside, she went back to coddling with the broken projector in her lap, losing herself in the work. There was work to be done, things to be repaired. It was a comforting thought.
