[ Like all previous club meetings, this one is guaranteed to end terribly. Not that our dear club president has learned her lesson. Yozora makes it twenty minutes early with a small book about public speaking in her right hand. She looks very serious and sullen as she reads it. Makes you wonder why no one approaches her, huh? In the meantime, everyone feel free to mingle and make friends! Oh, wait...

Alright then.

Is there any reason why you call her that? Or do you just want me to do it without question?

[playerkills]

No reason, she just likes it when you call her that. Don't believe otherwise.

[departing]

I'll do it.

[This is reasonable for him.]

You know her better than I do. I trust you, Yozora.

[playerkills]

R, right. [ When someone says it out loud like that, it's just awkward. Covers her face with her notebook!! ]

[departing]

[Wow awkward.

Shu always was the kind of person to voice his opinions at the wrong time. Welp.]

What are you reading? It looks interesting.

[No, really. Shu could care less but he doesn't want to be awkward anymore. ]

[playerkills]

I'm not merely perusing material, I'm researching.

[ She turns a page in an effort to make it look more natural. She was finished with the last one minutes ago, anyway. It's a book on public speaking. ]

The ways of normal interaction are rather intriguing. ... and difficult.

[departing]

Working hard, I see.

[They've discussed this before. He can't believe she's actually doing it.]

Interacting is always difficult. I mean.

What do you do when you don't know what to say to other people?

[playerkills]

[ It's okay, Shu, at least you're kind of normal. ]

Usually, I pretend I don't hear them. That, or I run away.

[departing]

Wouldn't people think you're a coward if you ran?

They'd get the wrong idea.

[playerkills]

Sometimes I say things like, "Ah." or nod my head and say, "I see." But in this case, they're just words that have no meaning, no? It's difficult to think of what to say and how to start. Haven't we talked about this before? Sometimes I pretend to sleep. [ turns another page ] I mean, you'd be mad to expect a reply from a sleeping person.

... This book has some tips on delivering icebreakers, though. To a large crowd, at least.

[departing]

I wouldn't know.

[That's because Shu secretly doesn't care about what they talk about after the conversation is over.]

Larger crowds are harder to approach, aren't they? You need to speak louder.

[playerkills]

Not to mention the many pairs of eyes that watch you as you open your mouth...

But I'm fine with speaking in front of everyone here.

[departing]

I'm glad you feel that way.

You should be able to feel comfortable in the club that you created yourself.

[playerkills]

Of course. I wouldn't have recruited anyone myself here otherwise.

[departing]

How many people have joined so far?

[playerkills]

... Nine? I lost count. [ why ]

[departing]

Isn't that bad for a President? To lose track of your members is kind of....

[Irresponsible, but he doesn't want to say it so the sentence gets lost.]

[playerkills]

Hah? Did you say something?

[departing]

No...not really.
