[ The briefest of smile flits over his face before he recomposes himself, letting his head tilt and bangs fall over his eyes. ]

Was I mistaken? Pistachios, then. Though I was hoping not to share...

[ Sorry cashews offend you, small child!! ]

...You did come to see me. There's no other reason you'd be here.

[closewithnewintown]

But, that's exactly why I'm here! Since that will never ever happen, we'd never ever say hello otherwise. And isn't that just awful, to never say hi to a person whose door you walk past all the time?

So, hi. [literally the most annoyed greeting ever uttered] You already know who I am. So, you should also know that I'm not gonna "snap." Ever.

[also she physically did the sarcasm quotes there.]

[adsum]

[ He glances down at her left wrist, then looks back up at her. ]

Of course not.

[ He steps back from the doorway, into his office since it doesn't look like they're here to join him for snack time. ]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Stephanie. I hope you will never need my services, but I am here for you when you do.

[one day those almonds are gonna be revealed to be made of people, bet.

she notices the glance, visibly brightens, and then lifts her arm to let the sleeve fall down, showing the tally, even pointing at it vaguely proudly.]

See! That's the proof. I only have the one. There's only one explanation for it! [and she's. fine. with that. compared to the alternative.]

[adsum]

Is there only one—

[ He cuts off, though, when the nurse shakes her head with a soft warning, "Mizuki..." and he sighs a little. Alright, fine, there's no counseling in session so he'll stop. ]

[closewithnewintown]

[she looks between them, frowning.]

Yeah, just one. And it'll stay that way. It may not be graduation material, but... I mean, I never thought I'd graduate school, anyway. It's fine. [after all, her hero training would start before then, right? she'd be too busy.]

[adsum]

Stephanie...

[ Oh no. No no no, nurse-chan crouches down in front of her so she can look up at her. ]

Your education is important, even if you don't believe what you learn here will help you in the future. Between the knowledge you gain inside the classroom and the skills you gain outside of it... staying in school will lead to a brighter future, I promise. Please... don't give up and drop out.

[closewithnewintown]

Oh, no, I'm talking about my actual school. [said vaguely snidely, like she's daring her to say boo about that objectively true fact.] "Dropping out" of this place probably involves being pushed off the roof.

[or becoming hamburgers you don't know.]

[adsum]

[ She turns to the counselor ]

Maybe you should be talking with her...

[ This seems like a counselor discussion ]

[closewithnewintown]

[SIGHS and here she thought they'd made such progress.]

There's people here who hurt people for fun, and people that live in the ceiling and eat bugs, and you think I'm cuckoo for talking about the home I was stolen from?

[adsum]

[ Eat bugs...........

How do you suggest institutionalization without being rude about it? ]

[closewithnewintown]

You can make me play the game, but I won't treat it like it's not make believe. It wouldn't be fair. [so, nyeh.]

[adsum]

As long as you play along.

[ That's fine, isn't it? Some people are more self-aware than others, that's just how people are. The counselor turns the two of them away from his door, goodbye. ]

I wish you all the best, Miss Meanswell.

[closewithnewintown]

Thanks. I am gonna need it.

[when the door is closed, she gives nurse-chan a look of mild judgement (counselor-san is at least honest in his creepy way), and then she just. leaves. gotta go write everything down in her diary, after all.]
