Intense, unnecessary drama over a simple action.
Kei shoves the letter towards her, turning bright red, his eyes hidden by his hair. Kei: Take this! It’s—it’s important! Aiko looks at the letter, then at him, her expression unchanging. She takes it, but before she can open it, the class bell rings loudly.
Aiko tucks the letter into her pocket. Aiko: Alright, but if it’s a suicide note or something, I’m calling a teacher. Kei (Collapsing at his desk): I AM GOING TO DIE HERE. Why this fits Tsurezure Children Miscommunication: The core theme of the series.
Kei sits at his desk, sweating profusely, staring at a neatly folded pink envelope. Kei (Thinking): Okay, okay. Just give it to her. It’s just a letter. "Your eyes are like deep oceans in which I wish to drown." Too intense? No, it’s beautiful!
Aiko walks by, looking directly at her phone. Kei stands up abruptly, knocking over his pencil case. Kei: A-Aiko! Aiko stops, looking at him with a deadpan expression. Aiko: What? Did you drop your notes again?
