[ She's just chilling (or warming) by the bonfire, staring quietly into the flames while precariously holding a s'more.
Until something startles her-- maybe Ichiro walked too close or someone else laughed loudly, but she jumps a little on her log bench and her s'more sails gloriously into the flames. ]
I was pretty pissed when I first got here, but - once we learned time stopped for us at home, things got better. Now, I'm kind of just ... I dunno, enjoying it. I always wanted to go to school.
[ delicious s'mores... he's gonna go stick his own marshmallow in the fire, also. ] What about you, ... is Otome-san alright?
[ With a warmer smile as she stares out at the flames. ]
I think it's a little hard to allow myself to enjoy it properly, but I also know there's no point in dwelling on what I can't change yet. But you never had the chance to go to school, Ichiro-kun?
I mean, I finished high school. That was really important. But... I had to work to support my little bros, and I couldn't pass up the chance to work full time. So, I opened up my own business instead. I always wanted to go, though.
Taking care of your family is very admirable. [ And her smile is a little wistful. ] I'm sure your little brothers will be better off for it. But I'm glad that you have the opportunity to go to school now...
I hope so. I'm just doin' the best I can with them, you know? I've got a lot to learn, still.
[ god this school is so weird, isn't it. he snorts, giving a shake of his head. ] ...yeah. I mean, at least I'm learning something. If I can get a good education here, I can bring it back home and make more money for them.
Good education's probably kinda relative, but I guess I wouldn't know anything about theoretical physics if I didn't go to that class today, so...
I have a three-year-old... cousin-- her name is Koharu. She's very bright and loves to sing and draw and refuses to follow anyone's footsteps but her own. I feel like she'll beating the boys off her with a stick once she's older, with her personality.

But she's going to take the marshmallow with a smile and work on creating her snackwich again. ]
