Towa:

“… Why would you even wear a shirt that had a powdery substance on it? That mean’s it’s dirty, in the least. You shouldn’t wear dirty shirts.”

       "It was clean. I know f-for a fact, 'cause Ishimaru found out ab-about my current state of hygiene (or lack thereof) and d-did my laundry for me. It was in m-my closet, which meant it was cl-clean. I know Kemuri h-has crawled around th-the school’s air vents. He could’ve gotten in a-and put it in a sh-shirt, which I wouldn’t have noticed-- ‘cause it was with th-the other clean clothes, I wouldn’t have looked to see if it w-was dirty.”

“Hmph! Monaka isn’t a gremlin! You’re a big smelly meanie!”

      "If that h-helps you sleep at night, s-s-sure."

Towa:

“… That name’s an even worse insult than brat, you know. And how do you even know it was itching powder? What if you fell in poison ivy and forgot about it cause you’re a dumb demon? You’re being awfully quick to blame us.”

       "I'm c-certain there wasn't any poison ivy. I know that b-because I very rarely g-go outside-- I haven’t seen poison i-ivy once in my life; I’m a city kid. I’m also sure it w-was itching powder b-b-because I found bits of powdery s-substance in the sh-shirt I wore yesterday.”

Enoshima:

In a strange turn the blonde is silent on her perch on the roof, leaning dangerously over the railing. Looks contemplative, the usually sky-bright hue’s turned dark with her glare, watching the people below her scatter and shift like the tide. Doesn’t notice the other behind her in her current state, oddly focused.

      "Enoshima...?" The literary girl whispered, clutching books to her chest like armor (as though fragile pages could defend a fragile body.) The two hadn’t particularly talked since the day they’d confessed, and it had taken all of Touko’s willpower and ability to pine to bring it up once again. 

       “If you’re, um, b-busy, I can go.”

Ishimaru:

Kiyotaka wasn’t sure what she meant, nor where these supposed ‘friends’ she’d seen about him had come from. Yes, he’d been talking to more people, he supposed, but were they truly his friends just yet? With the exception of Mondo, he couldn’t be sure. However there was no harm in trying to expand his horizons, especially with someone in his own class. “I believe you are misreading my intentions, Fukawa-kun! I do not wish for anything in return, I am only asking that we may get to know one another more thoroughly! Perhaps it will be good for the both of us!”

      She tilted her head to the side, thick braids lolling over scrawny shoulders. It was a weird thought, that someone wanted to talk to her without desiring anything in return. But Ishimaru was SHSL Hall Monitor, known throughout as one with a strict moral compass, so... it would be odd for him to lie. Perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to try to talk to him.

      “Sure. F-Fine. Whatever. How’re we supposed t-to get to know each other?”

Towa:

“… Whoever did it probably didn’t know that. It really wasn’t Monaka, but if it was Jataro, I won’t stand for you calling him cruel. And Monaka doesn’t have to do anything for someone who insults me and hypothetically Jataro.”

       "Seriously? You kids t-torment me, all of th-these stupid pranks-- but as soon as I c-call you brat and say Kemuri’s cruel, I’m the bad guy here? I’m in ph-physical pain, Towa. It’s hurting me q-quite badly, because someone f-figured it’d be really funny to p-put something I’m allergic to in m-my clothes.”

"Well, who do you want to be friends with? Maybe Monaka can help you! And then Monaka can hug the cat, right? And pet it?"

      "Stay away fr-from my hypothetical cat, gremlin. I can’t imagine y-you getting involved in my p-personal life would ever go well.”

Omaru:

❝ I mean… Even if that was true, it doesn’t mean people will always     hate you. If I’m a weird outlier, there’s probably other weird     outliers too! I don’t see why anyone would be interested in     me, but I don’t think that I’m gonna’ be alone forever! We’re     too young to be thinking stuff like that, I think. ❞

❝ But yeah, if it’s itching powder you should definitely go to the    nurse! ❞

       "The thing ab-about weird outliers, Omaru, is that they’re weird and th-they’re outliers. Rare, unusual, a-and highly unlikely. You’re probably th-the only one. I’ll die curled u-up on your grave. ...Don’t b-be stupid. ‘Don’t see why anyone w-would be interested,’ hah-- You have a c-cute face and you’re not that bad. You’ll pr-probably have someone before the year is up.

       It’s not s-so much the itching powder as it i-is the allergic r-r-reaction to said itching p-powder. It itches s-so hard that it hurts.”

Ishimaru:

“Ah, my apologies! I did not mean to catch you off guard, though I am quite serious about my offer! Companionship is a rather important aspect of our young lives, I hold no hostility nor ill will towards you! Were I not serious about my offer, I would not have made it in the first place! Despite what you may believe, your company would be greatly appreciated!”

       "Okaaay... But wh-why me? Companionship i-is important, sure, but you al-already have a bunch of friends. They’ll think you’re w-weird for spending time w-with me. I just don’t understand. Do you need h-help on a literary a-assignment, or something? What’s your motive?”

“… Monaka will help you make friends, if you want! Monaka’s good at making friends with people!”

      "Yeah, no. I d-don't want to be fr-friends with a bunch of weird little munchkins. Th-That's all your friends."

[rottenriiver-blog]

Towa:

“Monaka can think of waaay more clever things to do than itching powder. Waste of time and energy when I could be doing something no one would see coming!”

“As to where Jataro is…. Monaka’s not sure?”

       "Oh, st-stop stroking your own pickle-headed ego. I didn’t see th-the itching powder coming, if it means anything. Whoever did it is v-very cruel, though-- I’m allergic t-to it, and it’s really h-hurting me. 

        Go FIND him, you br-brat--!”
