S- So-

[He's young and he looks so nervous. Awkwardly, he clears his throat, and tries again.]

So. Um, hello, my name is Tsukasa Koudou, and it's nice to meet you. [This is probably a lie. His eyes, blue and darting back and forth, show that he might have been crying a little while ago, even though he's certainly cleaned up his face. Sure, it'll be nice to... maybe meet someone, but- prison. Okay, prison inmates. Sure, it'll be nice to meet...

No, this is sort of terrifying. Tsukasa isn't used to this stuff.]

I've just come here... And I guess that's that. So since I'm here, I hope we'll all get along. Thanks.

[Stupid. This isn't the first day of school. He takes a breath and shuts his eyes, and wishes for any possible way there is to get out of this. --Prison inmates. He's one, now, too, right? So maybe not everyone is, you know... A thug.

The thought helps.]

Thanks, [he says again, a little more calmly, and a little more genuinely. His eyes are open again, and he sets his jaw and nods. Adolescent determination.] I'll do my best.

[It's all he can promise.]
