"The sound of laughter and enthusiastic non-Christmas karaoke which reverberated off of these walls the last time I allowed myself to be surrounded by them is no more."
"It’s blank. And cold. And empty."
"And, at the risk of sounding broody- reminds me a lot of the person I see every time I look in the mirror."

"For someone who hates the color white, she sure pulls it off well."
"As well as possible while being a complete fucking lunatic, I mean."
"I guess she’s a cute lunatic, though."
"I can’t say that standing alone in a dark room and whispering into a microphone is a hobby that I admire or understand, but I guess it’s a little endearing when approached from the right angle."
"The right angle being ten feet behind her, I mean."
"If I moved any closer, I worry that the residual warmth I peeled off of the door might melt her skin off."
"As always, I am content with just watching, even if I don’t understand everything I see."

to "Contrary to what you may believe, the world does not revolve around you."
to "There’s a fireworks celebration tonight. And several people were looking forward to you being around to watch it together."
"Right. There was one of those last year too, wasn’t there?"
s "Why are {i}you{/i} here then?"

to "She isn’t bad, is she? I find her voice rather relaxing, to be quite honest."
s "It is certainly unique, if not anything else."
to "And to think that it’s her first time. Why, I feel a bit like a proud mother."
to "All she needs now is to work on her confidence so she can do this in front of everyone. And maybe turn a few lights on."
s "I don’t really think “confidence” is a word that pops up in Yasu’s mind very often."
to "It “pops up” just as often as it does for everyone else."
to "Why do you think she waited until now to sing when she could have just asked for a turn earlier?"
s "I’ve stopped trying to attribute reasons to anything Yasu does."
scene yasuseesinthedark6
with dissolve
to "Well if you’d {i}like{/i} to know, it’s because she didn’t want to bother anyone."
to "You might believe Yasu to be some sort of religious fanatic and, to some extent, that is most assuredly true."
to "But there’s another side to everyone, Sensei. And the side Yasu hides behind her psalms and sermons is one that I’ve heard her describe as some sort of...insect on various occasions."
to "A cockroach, I believe it was."
scene yasuseesinthedark7

to "And, unfortunately, I understand the comparison. I do not personally agree with it, but I understand it."
to "I have always looked at myself as an outlier of sorts. Someone who does not fit in with others and, in turn, completely destroys the averages of small sample sizes."
to "I still believe that to a certain extent and have plenty more to learn, but I don’t think Yasu even acknowledges a life in which she stands on the same ground as the other girls."
to "And I don’t think those girls are in any rush to get to know Yasu either."
to "Which makes me very sad, since she admires every single one of them and simply wants to do all of the things they do."
s "The others would probably care a little more about getting to know Yasu if she wasn’t always trying to convert them to her weird religion."
to "She’s just trying to share the one thing she knows about with everyone else."
s "Well, she is very aggressive about it sometimes."
to "I suppose she is."
to "But her entire personality is one composed of inconsistencies and curiosities."
to "Those flashes of confidence become ones of concern once the cameras are off...and the Yasu you are seeing now is the one I wish others could see as well."
s "You really like her, don’t you?"
to "She is a colossal pain in my behind."
scene yasuseesinthedark8

to "But she is also the first friend I’ve ever had."
to "So I suppose I have a bit of a soft spot for her."
to "I’m sure you will in due time as well."
to "It may take several more dark rooms and several more karaoke machines, but the day will come."
s "Maybe it will."
s "Whatever happens happens."
scene yasuseesinthedark9

to "So, do you intend to stay here with us? Perhaps you and I could perform some sort of duet once Yasu has had her fill of the microphone?"
s "I’m not much of a singer. And I also don’t trust that you would have a decent taste in music."
to "You would be surprised, Sensei. Mother and I spent quite a few nights with one another listening to popular music. I know many of the hits."
s "Hearing you say it that way made me somehow trust you even less."
to "Really, though. Why are you still here?"
to "Half of the class is waiting for you and you managed to stumble upon the two girls who were fine separating themselves from the crowd for the sake of their own personal comfort."
scene yasuseesinthedark10
with dissolve
s "Probably because I always manage to stumble upon the one place I shouldn’t be when there are countless others I belong in."
to "When you put it that way, perhaps you aren’t all that different from Yasu and me after all?"
to "We’re just three people who don’t fit anywhere other than the little worlds we made for ourselves."
s "Sure. Except I’m not the one who made this world."
scene yasuseesinthedark11

to "Would you enjoy it any less if it was one made {i}for{/i} you?"
to "Must something be put together by your own two hands for you to accept it? Or can you live in a house someone else built so long as it fits your needs?"

to "Apologies, Sensei."
