June 14th, After School

[all_onis_are_true]

[For once, Hiroshi's the first in the club room. Somehow, he feels a sense of melancholy, thinking about leaving this school behind. He knows that the new school will have more funding, more opportunities, a brighter future. But leaving this place behind, and everybody he knows... Okay, he can visit like Haruhi does, but that's hardly the same, is it?

His dad had given him an earful about going out in the woods in the middle of the night for pointless things, too. He'd tried to explain it as just a thing to do with friends -- watching stars, and the like -- but he seemed to think that the loss of sleep would be detrimental to his education. Of course.

He wanted to talk to Souji some more about his feelings -- candidly, calmly, man-to-man -- but he hadn't been seen at school that day. Of all the days he would end up being sick, too. Just his luck. Well, might as well come here and read until the others show up.]

Ah... good afternoon. I trust you slept well after this weekend?
