So sorry I'm late, I was the one who asked to meet in the first place. |
It’s okay. What do you want to talk about? |
Um, I’ll have Earl Grey without milk. Would you like more coffee, Kyoko-chan? |
Sure. |
So you’re a private tutor. |
People like you are rare nowadays, aren’t they? |
You get this involved with the kids you tutor? |
I’ve been a bit distracted and unfocused lately, and I was concerned that it might have been rubbing off on Lain and getting in the way of her education. |
Either that, or maybe things haven’t been going well for her at school. |
I think she’s doing okay. |
From your point of view, is she doing well in school? |
I don't really know. |
We used to be friends, but since we entered junior high school, we haven’t talked to each other that much. |
Is this a test to see if she’s been behaving herself? |
I don’t know what other kids do outside of school. |
Wouldn’t it be better to ask a student advisor at or something? |
Oh, no, no. |
It’s nothing serious like that. |
Not at all. |
But she’s a quiet girl, isn’t she? |
She used to be a little gloomy. |
I was just curious about how she’s doing in school. |
Hmm. |
Well, I have nothing to lose by talking to you, so ask me whatever you want. |
I haven’t talked to Lain much recently. |
She doesn’t have that many friends. |
She used to be a little somber. |
I guess you could say she’s gotten gloomier lately. |
