[sisters]

...

( he looks like he's thinking that one over. )

Do you wanna define engaged for me?

( when you not only skip class, but you're a part of the resource-leech club and an unofficial club, so you don't even have that much going for you... )

[adsum]

Uh...

[ What is Amami even doing here ]

Participating in things, interacting with others, making your time here meaningful. That sort of engagement.

[sisters]

( he wants to know just as bad as you do, honestly. )

Oh, that doesn't sound so bad.

( if you can put all your points into "talking to people" then maybe he'll scrape by. does hunting down mysteries count? akki will probably look at him with an even more ... expression than whatever he already has if amami asks that though, so he'll laugh it off. )

Haha, sorry. I'm not actually too worried about grades or anything, but I figure it's good to have a frame of reference.

[adsum]

...I see.

[ He doesn't really, but figures it's an easy way to move on from the conversation. Which he's kind of surprised he's having with Amami, figuring he'd have plenty of friends in his own class to hang out with— or maybe not, if he's never there.

... ]

Did you do alright on finals? The second semester is graded a whole lot stricter, especially for the third years.

[sisters]

Yeah. Well, I passed. ( looking sheepish because it was, you know, 50's and 60's — about what you'd expect from someone who isn't really trying all that hard. )

It's not a big deal to me either way — at worst, I'd just repeat a year. I guess I'm not trying to stay as long as Clamor or Lucifer though.

( a bit of a laugh. sorry clamor, lucifer, but you are a little old for high school. )

[adsum]

[ That sheepish look tells him "barely" and maybe it doesn't need saying that the amount of material is just going to build up and get harder the next go around. ]

Both of them are smart, so they don't have anything to worry about. [ ... ] -—not that you're not smart! I'm not saying that!

[ wait, no, forget that faux pas, he's sorry ]

What I mean is— Students who fail second semester finals... [ He looks up at Amami, a brief, but rare moment of eye contact, hoping Amami will understand. ] They don't come back.

[sisters]

( the fumble is pretty cute actually, and amami laughs along for what it's worth — far from offended. for a minute or so even as he meets akira's eyes into the explanation, amami's smile is still frozen in place, kinda looking like he might be okay with this info. maybe he already knew and was just testing akki. except, he didn't, and he wasn't, and he'll glance off to the side after the moment passes, humming thoughtfully. )

Hm. So that's how it is...

( he looks like he's weighing his thoughts. why won't anyone ever just say when they're talking about people dying... )

Seems like there's a lot of unwritten rules in this place, huh. ( big sigh, looking back to akki. ) I don't suppose they're practical exams?

( school activity terms ain't looked the same since the stuco election, not gonna lie. )

[adsum]

[ It's a huge weight off his shoulders that Amami doesn't look angry, but to have a conversation like this with a smile on his face... Yeah, Akki knows the sort. ]

It depends on the year, for the most part... how the classes in general are doing, I mean. If students are doing well, sitting exams is all there is to it. If too many are struggling, the teachers may hold a practicum instead. And like I said... I think we're doing okay.

[ You want practical exams? Sabotage your entire grade level and then we'll talk. ]

[sisters]

( okay, so... rip to first years if komaeda finds out. )

If that's what you meant by us having a good class then I guess I should be grateful, but I feel kinda like I'm getting by on your hard work now.

( he leans back and that thoughtful expression shifts back to something more casual again. )

Welp, that decides it. Looks like I'll have to start coming to class more often in that case.

[adsum]

[ Like Komaeda has to know to sabotage them ]

It's not like my grades are the best... [ Glasses and attendance do not make a person smart. ]

What do you do when you're not in class?

[sisters]

( sure they do. counting on you, akki. )

Oh, plenty, but none of it's all that interesting. You know, just transfer student stuff.

( #littletransferstudentthingz... which is his way of explaining that it's "things that will make you look at me like i'm insane" without actually setting off the look. or, well, that's what he's going for. )

[adsum]

[ "just transfer student stuff" earns him that look like he's insane, because the transfer students aren't very subtle

... ]

You know what? It's okay! I don't need to know.

[ He doesn't want to get involved. ]

[sisters]

Ah — c'mon, it's not that bad.

( jeez! akki acts like they're Like This on purpose or something, he can't not defend himself here. )

We're doing our best in our own way too, y'know. It's not like we're getting a lot of help.

[adsum]

[ Are they not

... ]

Is there anything I can help it? I'm willing, if I'm able to.

[ within reason ]

[sisters]

Oh, you've helped a lot. I already feel like I have a better sense of things, so...

( with a smile, he'll meet akki's eyes. )

If you're willing to keep me company sometimes, I'd appreciate it.

( saying "friends" might be getting ahead of himself, but... that's the direction he'd like to head. )

[adsum]

[ Has he? He kind of doubts it, because he's done nothing more than talk. ]

S-sure... [ He does one of those nervous tight lipped smiles before dropping his gaze. looks back up ]

I can't skip class with you, though. The pop quizzes will end me, otherwise.

[sisters]

( yeah, this one'll take a bit more work, huh. that's fine though — amami's willing to put in the effort. )

I don't mind, since it looks like I've got a bit to catch up on too. ( unfortunately!!! )

Lunches or after class, just let me know when you're free. I feel bad if I'm interrupting.

( glancing to wherever akki's game has disappeared to. )

[adsum]

[ glances down at his game console, paused and resting on his lap ]

You don't have to worry about interrupting... I'm not doing anything important.

[ a game is something he can pause and start whenever he wants, with no time restriction— if he's willing to stay up late for it, and he often is. ]

I'm usually free during lunch, and after school... If I'm not here, or in 3-A, I've probably already gone home.
