WHO: Toru, Kou
WHAT: Chance encounters
WHEN: Right after school, post-Masamidungeon
WHERE: The library
WHY: Who knows?

[Toru, overloaded with textbooks that look just about brand-new, staggers into the library and drops them onto the nearest table.]

I can't believe that... ugh. Why did I agree to this, again?

[Ignoring his surroundings, he cracks open a book and begins to read through it with an irritable look on his face.]

	[Kou shifts; he leans back and rests his hands on his lap, and stares at Toru. Then he calms down and reopens his book. It's just a question.] "It's not the only path to success, but I find it the most rewarding one. Why are you asking?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Toru begins to fidget- he's decidedly uncomfortable.] "You just seem to put so much value on it. I'm surprised you can see that there are other paths to success." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That speech caught his ear. Pages were turned more slowly, and eventually his pen laid on his notebook, unmoved.] "Some people can buy their way with money or by sacrificing other people. I don't see why my beliefs validate being surprised." [Once, he would have spat the words out. But now he was calm.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"...hm. I guess your way is better than those." [He leans back in his chair and pinches the bridge of his nose.] "Wish I could even choose a way to follow to success." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Strange. If his way was better, why pay Ikeda more attention? Well, there was nothing to be gained by being jealous. He was more disappointed than anything else.] "You'll find success if you give up silly ideas, so try not to worry too much." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"...silly. That's a pretty subjective thing to say, you know." [What's Kou getting at? He sounds almost jealous.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No. I believe I'm right." [Kou spoke like it was the end of the matter.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Toru thinks for a moment.] "I'm going to take your word for it, then." [He may not be 100% convinced, but he's at least smiling. Kou has made his point.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Toru could do worse, Kou thought.] "Good. Then I don't have to repeat myself," he said, more introspectively than for Toru's benefit. He continued to work in silence; it was hard with somebody seated opposite. Distracting. Not private. His possessions were pulled closer to his side of the desk. (Reply to this) (Parent)
