[The school is empty. The school is quiet. The only sound that cuts through the silence is the soft ticking of the hallway clocks that mark the passing of each second.]

[. . .]

[At least. . . until a stiff breeze whips through the classrooms, scattering dirty papers and jerking the curtains aside. The clock strikes 6:00 a.m.]

[The school bell chimes.]

[Incredible foreshadowing.

Ena just blinks at that.]

Oh, I see. Yeah, I guess ours was pretty similar. I don't remember the exact wording, but Shiawase charms are happiness charms, and ours was about spreading happiness and warmth, or whatever.

[ratiocinations]

[Terrible foreshadowing.

Brow raising as he tucks his charm away.]

Spreading happiness and warmth. Were that the reality, I'd call you fortunate.

[But surely by now they realize it isn't going to be that.]

[selfportraiture]

[A heavy sigh.]

Yeah, we're definitely not that.

Anyway, all of these are for good fortune, so it's not like one's better than another. Unless someone here got Anzan or something.

[ratiocinations]

[what do you want to bet someone got anzen]

And why is that?

[selfportraiture]

[She's not taking that bet, because:]

Anzan's for good fortune in childbirth.

[ … ]

I can only hope that one doesn’t apply for myriad reasons.

[please it’s not that type of horror game]

[selfportraiture]

That's what I'm saying!

I am curious what the other classes are, though. Maybe there's some commonality between which charms we all got sorted into.

[Silent for a long moment, thinking. Thinking.

Then suddenly-] Then! We should focus on learning that much. A round of the school grounds, first, but after... [THINKING] Everyone is sure to finally come out of that gym and explore, as well, and it's likely they'll gravitate towards their assigned groups after. It should be easy enough to inquire then.

[this is going to be another ic reason for him checking up on so many dorms]

[Oops. In the end, Ena was also at fault...]

... Huh. I guess so. You're kind of an exhausting guy, huh?

[ratiocinations]

[He is definitely in his "a shark must keep swimming or it will die" mode, though that is thankfully not always the case. But she has no way of knowing that.

Besides, someone had to get all the energy in his family.]

Others have said so before.

[selfportraiture]

[Just agrees with it... ok.jpeg.]

Then... I'm gonna leave you to it. I'm exhausted. I don't want to go running around the haunted school.

Good luck with all of that.

[ratiocinations]

[What, already done? They've barely left the gym, and there's increasingly more to see. (please free yourself ena)

But this isn't awfully surprising, nor deterring. He is used to striking out on his own in the very, very early days before he had a partner at his side — sometimes, he still does. And he's going to now.]

Then you recoup.

[And that's. Really all he has to say as he strides off, questionably on his own but renewed via second wind thanks to their conversation.]

[good luck, dude]
