( CHIAKI NO... BEING LIKED BY NATSUME IS NEVER A GOOD THING... )

When I said I was staying at school overNIGHT, I meant it literally — for reasons unknown to ME, I'm completely incapable of passing through the school's front doors in order to LEAVE, though others have been able to do so if accompanied by a teaCHER.

( all said with a totally straight face, though it breaks slightly after with a wry smile. )

Perhaps I'm actually a GHOST.
