	Puwaah, the tea's yummy~! I've reached Nirvana♪ This is my first time drinking actual tea! Since it's kind of bitter though, it making Chizuru want something sweet~♪ Wow woow, you have candy too? Looots of them, on top of that♪ But I thought it was terribad to have candy at school, is it really okaaay? That "Committee Chair-chan" is in the Tea Ceremony Club too, isn't she? She hates rulebreakers and stuff like that, so I was surprised, I guess? Ah, you're keeping it a secret from Committee Chair-chan? Well then, I don't have to eat it all sneaky-like, do I! Nom nom... Wooowie, they're super sweet! I'm melting~♪ Ehehe. Being welcomed like this makes me feel grateful, I guess, thank you from the dawn of time to the futuuuure~♪
	Err, Konan-san's finished being patched up for now?
	Thanks, Kuromori-chan♪ Sorry for dumping Yako-chan on you to take care of, okay? You seriously saved uuus, makeup is Chizurus forte, but I'm hopeless at stuff like treating injuries! Stuff like ouchies and blood make me all "woozy doozy"~♪ Ah, I got it! Why don't I give Kuromori-chan a makeover? Since it's the only thing Chizuru's good at~♪ Ehehe. Kuromori-chan became cute from the haircut, but... You'll be downright attractive with makeup, I guess✩
	Pat pat♪ Swish swish♪ Shalalala~n♪
	Hyaah, what are you doooing? Stop it~, don't touch meee!
	Waah, Kuromori-chan has an odd-eye, huh♪ Why do you hide it under your baangs, even though it's sooo enchantingly cuuute~?
	Uu. You're just doing whatever you want to me, aren't you...... That aside, Konan-san's injuries are less serious than I thought, so rest easy, okay? She's still passed out, though. Sanjo-san gave her a rather bad beating, didn't she?
	Ahaha. Yako-chan picked the wrong opponent to fight with, I guess? But, Yako-chan has always been like this, you know~? She has the feeling of a girl who looks at a wall in front of her and goes "What the hell is with this wall!" and bashes her face against it~♪
	Umm. Yakumo-san, have you always been close with Konan-san? She's always said stuff like that, but...... Why did she end up having "that kind of feeling"?
	Nyufufu. It's full of drama that'll make you cry whether you tell it or hear it, you knooow? Ju~st kidding. Chizuru got to know the real Yako-chan around the time we started going to Kimisaki Academy, you see~♪ I was always with Yako-chan since middle school, though. Ever since middle school...... Chizuru was always bullied by Yako-chan~♪
	B-Bul...?
	Aah, don't back away from her! You've got it all wrong! Even if you held a gun to my head, I'd still say Yako-chan is a good girl, I guess! Uu. Sorry that Chizuru is bad at explaining. You know, Chizuru felt like a giant idiot since middle school...... I'd fall behind, and be really slow~ I was a "dunce" you see,  I was bringing everyone down. Especially the girls, you know, they got fed up with me. They never actually bullied me, but it felt like no one talked to me...... Even though I was right there, it was like I wasn't. When Chizuru joined the Theatre Club, it was because Chizuru was there to...... Chizuru wanted everyone to see her, wanted them to hear Chizuru's voice. Those were my thoughts. Ahaha. I went off-topic, I guess♪ Yako-chan, you know, she transferred to my middle school. From somewhere overseas. For a while, she was a quiet kid, actually. But you know...... One day, Yako-chan exploded. She yelled at the top of her lungs and threw tantrums... She was like Godzilla, I guess♪ She was especially horrible to Chizuru, you know, she'd kick me in the stomach~♪ She was really mean, she'd keep picking on me. Usually with her fists. Every day, I'd get bruises on my face. I cried a lot, so I hated Yako-chan, you know~? But you know, it was mysterious...... As those days passed, before I knew it, I gained a lot of "allies". It was as if Chizuru became someone who had friends in class who would stick up for and be nice to Chizuru. The school's teachers, Dad, and Mom, they worried when Chizuru always got new injuries. They'd say stuff like "you poor thing," "it'll be okay," "we're your 'allies'"...... Suddenly, Chizuru was surrounded by overflowing kindness, hope, and love. Chizuru is stupid, and was really slow at noticing it. For every "enemy" Yako-chan made, Chizuru gained an "ally". They say that Yako-chan speaks her mind, but she's definitely hiding her true feelings. Chizuru feels that way. Yako-chan, you know, she grew up without love. Her parents are people who have lots of hobbies and jobs, so they're busy every day...... So they aren't around enough, even at home. Since they had so much "things they want to do," it looks like they couldn't take care of their own child. Because of that, Yako-chan doesn't know anything about expressing affection. She'd lash out, breaking stuff like walls and furniture, screaming out bad words....... Eventually, she'd get attention. If not, no one would look at Yako-chan. Her parents too, they wouldn't be around at home more. That's why Yako-chan's always mad and violent. Since she hasn't experienced being loved by someone, she can only do things that hurt people. But, Yako-chan was definitely trying to help Chizuru. The Chizuru that was all alone, becoming someone who "wasn't there" even if she was.
