-A-
[For a while now, a certain high-school kid could be seen spending the most of his time in the cafeteria lately, either reading a book, or just eating while looking partly like a zoned out guy as the day went by. In fact, this time seemed to be pretty bad as you can find him reading a book upside down as he sat in one corner in the cafeteria, still with that distant look on his eyes.]


-B-
[Or you can find him buried in books in the library.

Literally.

See, while he's lucky that the book case didn't fall on him, he still had the misfortune of being trapped beneath a lot of books.]

A little help here...?

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko loved books..but even she knew that being buried in them was never a good idea, not for the books or the person buried in them.

So, when she saw a random patron buried in library books, she started to dig him out.]

How on Earth did you manage to do this?

[yougotthatwrong]

Bad luck, I guess...?

[with the frequency of him getting into all kinds of trouble, this is the most likeliest course of events.]

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko kept picking up and putting away books as she spoke.]

You may have had bad luck, but you had to be doing something for that bad luck to occur. Were you trying to make a small room of books or something?

[yougotthatwrong]

N-not really, I was just passing by when it fell on me...

[And it's actually the truth.]

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko couldn't help but chuckle at that as she put the books away.]

I'm sorry..that's terrible to hear! I guess the books really don't like you.

[yougotthatwrong]

Knowing what kind of place this is? They probably do...

[He's going to help her with that at least...]

[tohko_amano]

Well, that's not good! I wonder what you could have done to upset them? Books are usually pretty kind. Did you try to rip out a page or set one on fire?

[Small glare there. If you did, be prepared to face the wrath of Tohko.]

[yougotthatwrong]

I... read them upside down?

[that's been a thing he's frequently doing right now.]

[tohko_amano]

[And there goes that glare..but Tohko's now giving him a puzzled look.]

..Why have you been reading them upside down? Has something been bothering you?

[yougotthatwrong]

Yeah.

[Something that's been nagging him since December, actually.]

[tohko_amano]

Well, what's been bothering you then? If you tell me, I may be able to help.

[yougotthatwrong]

Well, it's actually a pretty simple one...

[um]

How do you make up to someone for a mistake you made?

[tohko_amano]

Hmm..well, it usually depends upon what you did, but you usually have to tell the person the mistake you made, apologize, and try to make for it as best you can, like writing the person a sweet story or something.

[yougotthatwrong]

...I'm probably not the best person to approach for a love story t-to be honest...

[and the one person he knows that's an actual writer is a bit crazy and not here too...]

[tohko_amano]

[At that, Tohko chuckled a little before trying to pat the boy on the head.]

Well, that's not the only way you can make it up to someone. It's usually best to apologize to them first and then ask them what you can do.

[yougotthatwrong]

Mm, I guess there's the usual approach too...

[IT'S JUST THAT HE'S KIND OF A CHICKEN RIGHT NOW.]

[tohko_amano]

Which would be?

[Pardon Tohko. She's a bit clueless.]

[yougotthatwrong]

Giving her a gift?

[It's alright, he's used to worse.]

[tohko_amano]

Ah, alright then! That might work..but if it doesn't, you'll have to ask her what you can do to make up for it. It's usually best to swallow your fear and do that when these things pop up. Take after Iorek.

[..Yes, she is referencing The Golden Compass here.]

[yougotthatwrong]

Iorek?

[That's a strange name, if any.]

[tohko_amano]

Yup, Iorek! He's a brave character in a story who says that when you're afraid, you have to just master your fear and keep going.

[And he's also a polar bear.]
