"I'm Hiraoka Ami!
What's your name?"

What?

Why is she talking again?
Especially to him

Is he supposed to respond?
Should he— nevermind, he did.

"Uemura Hansuke..."

She smiles again

"It's nice to meet you!
I hope we'll be good
f r i e n d s !"

Friends?

That's a first.

He's never heard anyone
say that to him since

middle school

It seems
w e i r d

And very
out of place
