even if i were to die nothing would change

[ math class ends and, as the bell rings, the rest of shintaro's class runs out to grab food from the cafeteria for lunch.

lunch is kind of the only thing shintaro looks forward to on most days. when everyone else leaves, he can just sit and relax at his desk for a while.

so, with that, he just. lets his head fall onto his desk and feel the impact of the hit, and sigh heavily ]

[ she has a bento, so she isn't one of the many people in their class to leave for lunch

which just means that she has every reason to move her desk right next to shintaro's! ]

You look so depressed, Kisaragi-kun!

[shutineyes]

[ groans ]

'm just tired.

[behindsmiles]

Ahhh, you really have no stamina, do you? The day's only half over and you're this depleted.

[shutineyes]

You can't blame me for finding class boring.

[ lifting his head up slightly to look at her ]

[behindsmiles]

Speaking of which -- ! What did you get on your math test, Kisaragi-kun?

[shutineyes]

100%.

[behindsmiles]

Ehe, as expected of the class's top student, huh? Good job!

[ she's sheepishly holding up her test paper to him ]

Looks like you beat me again.

[shutineyes]

A 42%.

Tateyama, did you even try?

[behindsmiles]

I really, really did!

[ poooooooout ]

[shutineyes]

[ SIGH and just. sitting up straight now ]

Didn't you do a lot better on the last test?

[behindsmiles]

A 45% isn't exactly better, is it?

[shutineyes]

It's still a little better...

[behindsmiles]

I'm really jealous, though! You always manage to get the top score and you don't study very often, right?

You're amazing, Kisaragi-kun.

[shutineyes]

It's... not hard. I just pay attention in class. There's nothing amazing about that.

[behindsmiles]

Even so! It doesn't look like you take notes or anything either, so to have it all up in your head...

[behindsmiles]

I think you're amazing.

[shutineyes]

... Yeah, yeah. [ he doesn't know how to answer that oops

awkward shintaro is awkward ]
