[Opening]

[Hanasakigawa girls school: Class 2-A]

Arisa: Yes! And that's all of our classes surveys collected
Arisa: I'll tally up the results after school so I'll file them away for now and read the information for our next meeting... No, first I'll have to organise the material, They've gotten all out of order and are a complete mess
Arisa: The student council really does have to do a butt load of work.... Haaa
Misaki: Woah, that was quite the sigh
Misaki: Is that the survey we did the other day? So the student council members are tallying them up
Arisa: That's cause we were the ones who made them. We do the same survey at the beginning and end of our first year and then we see how everyone's perceptions has changed
Misaki: Do you now. That sound like a pain
Arisa: Yeah well, we all do the actual work together so it's not too bad but...
Arisa: Honestly, the problem is... I'm a nervous wreck all the time
Arisa: A team and job I'm not used to, and on top of that the student council room has like this indescribable vibe...Haa....
Misaki: Yeah, places like the student council room make you feel all nervous for no reason at all
Arisa: I know right? Ah, I want to hurry up and get used to all this
Misaki: Ahaha. Break a leg Ichigaya-san~
Arisa: You don't give a crap about any of this do you....
Misaki: What no~ I totally swear I didn't mean it like that~
Arisa: Like hell I believe that!

[Hanasakigawa girls school: Class 3-A]

Second year student council member:  President, It's OK if we just do the survey results today and skip the meeting isn't it?
Rinko: Yeah... That's fine
Second year student council member: That's a relief~ I haven't prepared the materials yet and I was panicking a bit. Ah, I'll have everything ready for next week!
Rinko: Yeah..Hmm... Thank you...
Second year student council member: Eh?
Rinko: Ah, no....! I mean Thank you
Second year student council member: OK! Well then, excuse me!
Rinko: ....Haa....
Rinko:(I got nervous and... Mumbled again......I can't act like this as a student council president...Can I...)
Rinko: I need.... To get my act together... But how.....Haa....
Sayo: That was quite a big sigh wasn't it
Kanon: Are you worried about something?
Rinko: Hikawa-san! And Matsubara-san...
Kanon: Sorry for dropping in. But you've been sighing a lot recently so I was curious as to why
Sayo: Come to think of it you have been sighing non stop even in the student council room
Rinko: Yeah...Actually, I have.....
Rinko: I accepted the role as president because I wanted to overcome how bad I am in front of people but...It's not going very well...
Rinko: And I ended up getting flustered when I.... gave the entrance ceremony speech... And I even get nervous all the time....Just being a part of the student council....
Sayo: So you were thinking how to overcome that problem, is what you're saying
Kanon: So a way to not get nervous. Hnn.... Yeah, I guess getting used to it is probably the best way?
Sayo: Yeah. But, getting used to it is the hardest part
Sayo: I think there is a way in which you hold a social gathering, but with Shirokane's disposition it would probably end up backfiring
Kanon: Yeah, I think there is quite a lot of members of the student council, so she would probably get overly nervous
Kanon: Hnnn then how about you gradually increase the number of people?
Rinko: Gradually, you say.....?
Kanon: Yeah, you start off with one or two people and then when you can talk to them without getting nervous you gradually increase the amount
Kanon: It would take a lot of time but I think with this method you can work at it in your own pace
Sayo: It does indeed sound like that method would suit Shirokane-san perfectly
Rinko: But... Being alone with someone straight away....
Sayo: So how about you start the challenge with someone you're already familiar with like you are with us?
Sayo: They can support you when things get hairy and I think it still fits the criteria of gradually getting accustomed to it
Rinko: .....Yeah I'm sure I'll......Be alright with that....
Kanon: Really? That's great
Sayo: Now the problem is who to chose. The first step is the most important so you'll have chose carefully
Rinko: Hmm......Then.... I think I'll start by trying to talk to Ichigaya-san
Kanon: With Arisa-chan? Oh yeah, didn't Arisa-chan join the student council as well or something?
Sayo: And you both play the keyboard so it might work
Kanon: I know! And If that's what you're doing I just thought of a great idea!
Rinko/Sayo: Great idea.....?
Kanon: Yeah! So at our next lunch break......

[Chapter 1]

[A few days later]
[Hanasakigawa girls school: Courtyard]

Kanon: It's great that the weathers nice isn't it, it feels so nice and warm
Sayo: Yeah, It's nice to have lunch outside every once in a while
Misaki: Yeah~ Just what Sayo-senpai said....Wait, that's not what I meant!
Misaki: Kanon-san......and Sayo-senpai. What the hell is going on here?
Misaki: But I pretty much gave Ichigaya-san a bargain bin invitation
Sayo: Shirokane-san is trying to overcome her weakness. step one of her plan is to interact more with Ichigaya-san who has many things in common with her
Kanon: We thought that since Arisa-chan plays the same instrument as her and they occasional talk with each other that she'd be able to have a conversation with her without getting nervous
Sayo: Because getting multiple tastes of success is very important
Misaki: I see, so that's what's going on here
Misaki: Ichigaya-chan also said there was still lots of people in the student council she didn't know yet and was really nervous so I think this will be a good opportunity but...
Rinko/Arisa: .......
Rinko: Ich....Ichigaya-san
Arisa: Y....Yeah
Rinko: Hmm... The weather is nice isn't it
Arisa: Yeah it is....
Rinko/Arisa: ......
Misaki: Those two are nervous wrecks aren't they
Kanon: Huh...?
Rinko:(What should I do... I thought that I would be able to talk more casually.... Without being nervous ....But It's the opposite......)
Rinko:(But since I was given this chance....I'll have do tough it out....!)
Rinko: The weather is great....So....Hmm......... What are your......Hobbies...Ichigaya-san......?
Arisa: Huh? Hobbies!?
Arisa: Ah, yeah, hmm..... Stuff like going online?
Rinko: Going online....? Hnn.. So do you perhaps....Play online games.....
Arisa: No, I don't game.....
Rinko: Oh....You don't...
Rinko/Arisa: .....
Kanon: They've gotten unbelievably nervous
Sayo: They're both way too conscious of each other aren't they. They usually talk a bit more casually when they're in the student council room
Misaki: It's because they're having lunch together and it's given it special brand new feeling
Sayo: Yeah, and other people are watching so they might be feeling the pressure
Sayo: Either way it's making them nervous so maybe we should have picked somewhere with less people... Anyway, I think it's about time that we backed them up
Kanon: Fuee, what should we do...Hmm, hmm.....
Kanon: Hmm... By the way, Rinko-chan, what are your hobbies? I always see you reading books in the classroom, so it has to be reading, right?
Rinko: Ah...Yeah. I think I read a......Lot. I'm just about to finish reading this book....
Misaki: "Flowers and wonderland"? That's a pretty cute front cover
Arisa: Ah, I've read that as well!
Arisa: It became a hot topic online so I read it, it's really interesting isn't it. Like the psychological descriptions were really pretty and it got me hooked
Rinko: Yeah... They are. This author uses a unique choice of words....
Rinko: A sequel to it came out recently and ...... It's also amazing so...... If you're interested you should give it a read
Rinko: And if you found that book interesting then.... I think you'd probably like "Time ball"....! It's quite a dark story but the characters are amazing......
Rinko: Ah... Sorry. I just got carried away and recommended you a ton of...... books......
Arisa: It's fine just...... A little surprising. I'm really glad though
Arisa: If...... You don't mind could you recommended me some more books?
Rinko: Yeah......Sure!
Sayo: .......Looks like it's more or less all going well isn't it
Misaki: Ahh, That's nice. And it gave us a reason for being here. Nice follow through Kanon-san
Kanon: I didn't do anything. But I'm glad
Kanon: Arisa-chan and Rinko-chan look like they're having a blast, with that their nervousness will be cleared up in no time
Sayo: Yeah, I think there's a good chance of that happening
Misaki: I know right, good luck with all that Ichigaya-san, Rinko-san~

[Chapter 2]

[Hanasakigawa girls school: Courtyard]

Rinko: ---And then I asked Ako-chan what she was going to do and...... She said she had already decided she was going to go kabloom.....And doddon! ......Fufu
Arisa: I get it! Ah, I mean like I just thought that...... Kasumi is so energetic as well and there are loads of times where I don't have a clue what I'm actually suppose to do......
Rinko: Is.......She......?  Toyama-san and Ako-chan...... Might be quite similar then
Arisa: They might just be. But being dragged around is a real pain though
Rinko: Fufu......
Kanon: Don't you think those two are having a pretty nice conversation?
Sayo: They are. They're still a bit stiff but I'm sure that's down to them being attentive and considerate to each other rather than nervous
Sayo: ......Well then, lunch break is almost over. It's a bit early but shall we clean up?
Kanon: Yeah. Hey you two, it's about time to head back to class
Rinko: It's...... Already time. I'll have to tidy up my lunch box......
Arisa: Hmm, Rinko-senpai. Hmm...... Could you tell me the name of that book you recommended again?
Arisa: It's sounded really interesting, so I thought that maybe I'd pop into the bookstore on the way home......
Rinko: Of course. Hmm...... Then I'll hand you a note later......
Sayo: Shirokane-san. You might as well go shopping with Ichigaya-san, how does that sound?
Rinko: Eh......? Together?
Kanon: Didn't you say you found a nice store the other day? How about you take Arisa-chan there?
Arisa: What no, she can't do that! It's Rinko-senpai, she's probably really busy
Rinko:(What should I do? I'd be so nervous out shopping...... But...... I'd be able to talk with Ichigaya-san without......Getting too nervous......)
Rinko: ......I don't have......Any plans today so it'll be fine. If it's OK with you......Would you like to come with me......
Arisa: Eh...... Really......?
Rinko: Yeah...... Then...... I'll see you after school
Arisa: Eh? Ah, yeah!
Arisa: Isn't it way too bold for me to go out shopping alone with a senpai! Ah...... I'm getting nervous again......!

[After school]
[Riverside path]

Arisa: Hmm...... Where abouts is that book store Rinko-senpai?
Rinko: Just a little bit......Further ahead. We'll keep going straight until we see a flower shop......Then we'll take a left and we'll be right there......Huh......?
Ako: Huh? It's Rinrin and Arisa!
Kasumi: Uwa, It is! Hello Rinko-senpai! Short time no see, Arisa~! I missed you so much~!
Arisa: Stop clinging to me! More like, why are you two here?
Ako: I was taking Kasumi to the bookstore! but it's close today~
Rinko: Eh? Closed......?
Kasumi: Yeah. So we had a change of plans, and I was just telling Ako that we should go to the family restaurant
Rinko: Did you now......We were......Thinking about going to that bookstore...... As well......
Arisa: Seriously......? But we can't do anything about it if it's closed can we. And you took time out of your day especially for it, Sorry
Rinko: No......I'm sorry......
Kasumi: I know! Want to come with us to the family restaurant, Rinko-senpai? You as well Arisa!
Rinko: Eeh......!?
Kasumi: Please tell me stuff like how Arisa act around the student council! And in return I'll tell you how she acts in class!
Arisa: Don't tell her that! And don't change the subject!
[Ako: There you go blushing again Arisa, It's OK I totally won't tell her about the time you fell asleep in class*] (Extra line found in game data)
[Arisa: You just freaking told her!*] (*Extra line found in game data)
Arisa: Ah, Don't push yourself too hard Rinko-senpai. She's always this annoying......
Rinko: ......I'll.....Go......!
Arisa: Eeh!? You're really going!?
Rinko: I am a bit nervous but......Ako-chan will be there with me so......
Rinko: You told me how......Toyama-san and Ako-chan have lots in common so.....I think I'll probably be fine...........Probably......
Arisa: Are you sure? Well I guess that's fine but......
Arisa:(Probably? Is she really going to be alright?)

[1 hour later]
[Family restaurant]

Kasumi: Roselia are really cool aren't they! That live you did the other day was amazing!
Kasumi: There was this girl there that I became friends with and she turned out to be a huge fan of yours Rinko-senpai! She said she looked up to you cause you could make costumes!
Kasumi: And then listen to this.....Ah, I've finished my drink. You're running low as well Rinko-senpai, want me to get you something?
Kasumi: I recommend the melon soda with a splash of orange juice, the "Kasumi special"! Oh yeah, speaking of drinks, the other day Arisa......
Rinko: Yeah......Hmm......No......Hmm...... I'm, hmm......
Rinko: Uwa......Melon......Orange......
Arisa: Rinko-senpai!? Oh crap, her eyes are spinning......!
Arisa: Take a deep breath, deep breath! You'll be OK, Kasumi isn't real, she can't hurt you! Hang in there Rinko-senpai......!

[Chapter 3]

[After school: The following day]
[Hanasakigawa girls school: Class 3-A]

Rinko: ----So it went something like......That......
Sayo: Toyama-san......
Kanon: That does sound......Rough......
Rinko: Yeah......Toyama-san and Ako-chan......Caused so much trouble for Ichigaya-san.......
Kanon: That's not true. They were all probably just surprised, I don't think they cause any trouble!
Kanon: And you probably managed to get a bit closer to Arisa-chan in the end?
Sayo: Yeah, but that seems like a pretty hardcore way to go about it......
Kanon: Ahaha......
Kanon: Seems like lots of unexpected things happened but going to the family restaurant with everyone was really bold of you
Rinko: Yeah......Thank you very much
Rinko: But first, I'll need to formally apologise......About yesterday, then we can......Start talking......
Rinko: I'm......Heading off to the student council room to put things in......Order......
Kanon: OK! Good luck, Rinko-chan!

[Hanasakigawa girls school: Student council room]

Rinko: Sorry about yesterday......Ichigaya-san......!
Arisa: What......No! I'm the one who should apologise!
Arisa: And I'll tell Kasumi to do the same! That girl is always dragging me around like that~ Ahaha......
Arisa: So don't......Worry about anything that happened yesterday
Rinko: OK......Thank you very much
Rinko:(I apologised properly but I think......She was probably just being considerate?)

[10 minutes later]

Arisa/Rinko: ......
Arisa:(This......Is awkward)
Arisa:(She's probably really concerned about what happened yesterday. I feel like she's really tip toeing around it)
Arisa:(OK......I'll lighten the mood with one of my blunder stories......)
Arisa: Hey......Listen to this, Rinko-senpai. I was half asleep during class today and instead of writing in my notebook I started to write on the desk~
Rinko: Eh......? On the desk......?
Arisa: Yeah. And on top of that I didn't notice until it was lunch break. Girl, I was going crazy
Rinko: That does......Sound bad......
Rinko: The words on the desk must have been so hard to......See...... And you wrote them all out and everything......
Rinko: Did you manage...... To copy them all properly?
Arisa: Eh!? Ah, Yeah it's all fine. I somehow managed to copy all of them
Rinko: Did you now, that's a relief......
Arisa:(Instead of lightening the mood she was genuinely worried, Rinko-senpai is too much of an angel!)
Arisa: Ah, hmm...... So have you not ever fallen asleep in class Rinko-senpai?
Rinko: I haven't fallen asleep but...... I might have nodded off for a second......
Rinko: Like when the sunshine is nice and warm......It would just happen......
Arisa: I get it, it kinda makes you sleepy
Rinko: Yeah......
Arisa/Rinko: ......
Arisa: (The......Conversation isn't flowing at all.....)
Arisa: (But it worked so well that time Lisa-san taught it to me ......I guess I'm still not ready to pull that move off yet......)
Arisa: Haa......
Rinko: (Ichigaya-san is......Is being really considerate......)
Rinko: (But I......Can't reply properly......So it's starting to get a bit.....Awkward......Isn't it......?)
Rinko: (Nothing will change if this keeps up.....Everyone helped me out so I have to try harder)
Rinko: Ich......Ichigaya-san
Arisa: Yeah
Arisa/Rinko: ......
Arisa/Rinko: ......Haa......

[Chapter 4]

[Hanasakigawa girls school: Student council room]


Arisa: Everyone else......Is taking forever aren't they! They said they'd be back once they finished in the reference room......
Rinko: They installed some new...... Shelves...... And they said they would be organising them so......It will probably take a while......
Arisa: Did they! That does sound like a lot of work......Ahaha......
Rinko: (Yeah......This is getting kinda awkward......)
Rinko: (But, I don't want it to......Stay this way......)
Rinko: Hm......Hmm......!
Teacher: Excuse me do you have a moment?
Arisa: Teacher! What is it?
Teacher: It's about the surveys from the other day. the results pages for each year weren't included. So if it's not too much trouble could you find them?
Arisa: Sorry, it probably got lost in here somewhere
Arisa: I think it should be around here. hmm, nope not here.......Or here......Ah, found it!
Arisa: Looks like it got mixed in with some other documents. Sorry for troubling you
Teacher: Me too, sorry for bothering you while you're busy, but you really helped me out
Rinko: It's no problem......If you need anything else......Please come tell us straight away......
Teacher: Thank you. Well then, excuse me
Arisa: ......That was some horrendous timing wasn't it. It made me jump out of my skin a bit
Rinko: Yeah, And...... It seems like it really is important to keep all of the documents in order
Arisa: Yeah it does. It would probably be impossible to do it all in a day but we should probably get started on that
Arisa: So, Weren't you about to say earlier Rinko-senpai?
Rinko: Eh? Ah......That was......
Rinko: I was about to say......
Newspaper club member: Excuse me
Rinko: Yeah......!
Newspaper club member: Ah, Shirokane-san. Just the person I wanted to see. Our club wanted to do a survey like the one you handed out earlier and I was wondering what we had to do to apply for one
Rinko: If you want a survey......We first need you to make a new plan of your club......Activities......
Rinko: Fill in the boxes on this form......Then get your advisor to check it over......And then......Hand it to the student council......
Volleyball club member: Hmm, excuse me! Do you have a moment?
Arisa: Yeah! Do......You need something?
Volleyball club member: Sorry for barging in. The volleyball club wants to add one more type of recruitment poster. We've already submitted what kind we wanted on the form, so can I change it now?
Arisa: Ehh!? I'm not sure about that......
Rinko: Ichigaya-san......If they submit a new form...... It'll be alright, so......
Arisa: Ah, I see. So that's what you do. Hmm......Then you need to submit a new application form......
3rd class committee member: Excuse me. I have a few questions about the next volunteering activity
Horticultural club member: I came to drop off the horticultural club's activity schedule
Arisa: Eh, wait, can you wait a second......
Beatification committee member: Is the beautification committee president here~? Huh? Doesn't look like it?
Broadcasting club: Excuse me, it's about the broadcasting club
Arisa: Wait......A...... I can't handle everyone at once!
Arisa: First I need this application form......No.....Not this one. Hmm, A application form to hand out......They're......Not here? That's weird, they were here a second ago......
Arisa: Oh yeah, I put them in another folder earlier! But where did I put it again? Hmm......Ah, I don't have a freaking clue!
Rinko: (Ichigaya-san is getting confused......)
Rinko: (I'm feeling a bit dizzy myself......But......I have to get my act together......! Because I'm......The president.....!)
Rinko: First take a deep breath and compose myself.......OK
Rinko: Ichigaya-san. First give an application form to the volleyball club member to fill out. While you do that...... I'll explain what volunteering is to this person
Arisa: Eh!? ......Yeah! Hmm, Application form......Found it!
Rinko: Please.....Take as long as you need
Rinko: The horticultural club member please wait for a moment while......We check over the forms. And the same for the broadcasting club member
Rinko: The beautification committee president isn't here today...... So please check back on another day
Beatification committee member: O-K
Arisa: (Thanks to Rinko-senpai sorting things out it has calmed down a bit. OK so now I can......)
Volleyball club member: Finished. Is this alright?
Arisa: Hmm......Yeah, It's all OK. We'll take care of the rest
Arisa: Next up is the horticultural club, then the broadcasting club. And Rinko-senpai look like she's got things covered with the explanation...... Rinko-senpai, I'll verify the horticultural club member's form
Rinko: OK......Thank you very much
Rinko: (That's a relief. We more or less......Made it through......)

[Chapter 5]

[Hanasakigawa girls school: Student council room]

Arisa: It's finally over......
Rinko: Yeah......
Arisa: If work keeps piling up like this we'll never get around to filing all the documents will we
Arisa: I never imagined that we would be that busy. The student council is no joke
Arisa: And you readily accepted the job as the student council president didn't you. even though you're busy with Roselia most of the time and now on top of that you're the student council president, isn't that pretty tough?
Rinko: I think it is tough
Rinko: But......I......
Rinko: ......Why did you join the student council Ichigaya-san?
Arisa: What me!? I hmm......Guess I thought entering the student council would look good on my school record~
Arisa: Well, you can say that I didn't join out of the goodness in my heart or something. How about you......?
Rinko: I accepted the job as the student council president because......I wanted to overcome my...... Weakness
Rinko: If I'm in front of a large crowd and people......I don't quite know......I get really nervous and my mind goes blank......
Rinko: I wanted to change myself...... So I decided to accept the role as the student council...... President
Arisa: Overcoming a weakness? And you choose to do it in a pretty spartan way
Rinko: Fufu, I know right. But if I didn't do it like that...... I would end up run away......
Rinko: And......That's not the only reason why I became the student council president
Arisa: Not just that?
Rinko: Yeah. It's a bit embarrassing to say but......
Rinko: I thought that if I did my best I could help make everyone's school life even better......So......I accepted
Arisa: Everyone's school life? That's kind of amazing
Rinko: It's not at all......
Rinko: I'm sure...... There was a little greed involved
Arisa: Greed?
Rinko: Yeah, I'm......Just as bad at challenging new things as......I am at being in front of people
Rinko: Even so I've been......Encouraged by all kinds of people up until now......And poorly attempted to challenge new things
Rinko: I went swimming in the ocean, I tried out some clubs......And I entered a piano contest I had been avoiding for ages......
Arisa: Ah, that piano contest! The results were so good they announced them earlier didn't they
Rinko: Yeah...... I never thought they would announce them at school so......That was really embarrassing......
Rinko: And then each time I challenged a new thing..... I'd try a little harder next time...... And try to take one more step further......
Rinko: No....... I came to think that "I'd like to take one more step further"
Rinko: And I think that "one step further" this time was to "Become the student council president"......
Arisa: Challenging to become the student council president......Was your next step......
Rinko: Yeah. It's a really small step...... isn't it
Rinko: And......I still don't know yet if that "one more step" will succeed or end up failing
Rinko: Or it might just be taking me on a horrendous detour......
Arisa: ......
Rinko: I think the old me would.....Probably get depressed at that fact......Think it's pointless and given up
Rinko: If I caused trouble for everyone without anything to show for it.....That me would feel pathetic.......And......Rather not do anything
Arisa: But...... It's not like that now it?
Rinko: Yeah
Rinko: It's strange isn't it. Deciding to "Take that first step" Makes me so happy......Now
Rinko: If I didn't get any results I think it would be......A huge shock but...... I can just take a new step......
Rinko: And if I keep repeating that "One step" over and over again.....I'll be able to walk.....And move forward...... That's what I now think
Rinko: Ah.....Sorry. I just started blabbering on......! It's such.....A boring story isn't it
Arisa: No it isn't!
Arisa: It isn't.....It's absolutely isn't!
Rinko: ......Ichigaya-san......

[Ending]

[Hanasakigawa girls school: Student council room]

Arisa: Your story isn't boring in the slightest
Arisa: I was just so engrossed or rather......I thought it was so amazing that I was left speechless
Rinko: I don't think it's like that......
Arisa: If it were me I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to become the student council president
Arisa: I think I would have like...... Avoided what I thought I was bad at and probably used one of my strong suits to cover for it
Arisa: So I think you're like really incredible for facing...... It head on
Rinko: If so then you're...... Plenty incredible yourself Ichigaya san
Arisa: Eh!? Why do you think so?
Rinko: My way of doing things is......Just different and I'm sure your......"Covering with you strongest suit" would also be splendid......Step
Rinko: I couldn't do that......If I stumbled once I'm sure......Everything else would end up going wrong so......
Rinko: The only way I can get results is to overcome each thing...... One step at a time......
Arisa: So we're both fumbling around in the dark in different ways?
Rinko: I'm sure......it's something like that
Rinko: So I'm really nothing special.....Ichigaya-san
Rinko: Even now I'm like a deer in headlights.....If I'm not being pulled by people who have the power to pave the way like Toyama-san and Ako-chan...... I won't start moving
Arisa: Rinko-senpai, Well I think.......Kasumi is like a steamroller though
Rinko: Fufu.....And after I took the first step I was still being supported by people like Hikawa-san and Matsubara-san......
Rinko; If there wasn't someone else with me who was also trying their best like you Ichigaya-san.....I would have ended up wanting to run away immediately......
Arisa: Me as well!?
Rinko: Yeah. Because...... I absolutely couldn't have dealt...... With what happened earlier.......By myself
Rinko: Seeing how much trouble you were having made me think that I had to do something......And that's how I managed to deal with it properly
Rinko: If it was just me I'm sure it would have ended up with me panicking......
Arisa: That's true...... It's reassuring when someone is having it worse off than yourself. It makes you compose yourself a little
Arisa: .....Wait. Was I really in that much of a panic earlier!? Uwa~ So lame......
Rinko: I didn't mean it like that......!
Arisa: Ah, sorry! I didn't mean it like that either......
Rinko: .....It's......Starting to get kinda weird again isn' it......
Arisa: Yeah, Like we both don't have a clue what we're saying
Rinko: Fufu.....
