I-It's a bit awkward to be chatting one-on-one like this.

Awkward? How so?

Well, you and I had that intense argument before…

That was simply a regulated debate. I felt that our spirited clash of opinions was quite meaningful, personally.

Huh?

You and I engaged in a proper battle of words. You could say we have grown closer as warriors who fought together.

W-Warriors?! That makes us sound so…so honorable!

Yes…

Shioriko, you and I are comrades in arms, valiant warriors who stared down the fierce battles of war and survived…

I don't recall ever facing anything as dangerous as war.

We have gone through countless battles, and suffered the bitterness of bidding farewell to our fallen allies…

What on earth are you talking about?

Oops, sorry! An adventurous tale of epic proportions was unfolding in my mind.

*Giggle* You're fun company to keep. Are you always so creative?

Yes. I love anime and manga, and I often come up with my own stories in my imagination.

It's like I love these stories so much, I cannot just keep them bottled up inside! They just come spilling out.

You must get your motivation from the heartfelt desire to share your beloved stories.

Perhaps that is a quality I lack. I envy you, Setsuna.

I disagree. I know you have passionate feelings too, Shioriko!

You wish for everyone to be happy, and take action based on how you can best help them achieve it!

If you didn't, you would not have organized a provisional student council election!

Plus, you are highly dedicated to doing your volunteer work every weekend. And, and…

Th-That's enough, Setsuna! Let's change the subject, please. Um… Let me think… Uh…

Are you okay, Shioriko? Your face is really red.

What?! It's really red?! N-No it's not! I am very calm and collected!
