As soon as Tachibana announced that the rest of the class, because she didn't plan anything, would be a free period to get to know each other, the entire classroom went into an excited flurry.

You remained at your seat, slightly intimidated by everyone getting up to greet one another.

Though almost immediately, someone began to approach you.

"Y/N, right?" Hiro hurried over to your desk, sitting on top of the other desk in front of you. "You're part of the psychic community! Isn't it... Comet? That's the only well-known empath I can remember.."

"That's me," you blushed, your heart skipping a beat from earning recognition. "It's nice to meet someone else psychically gifted though."

You both delved into the prospect of aliens and the weird jobs you'd been paid to do. As you laughed about some rich CEO who was in love with a mannequin, you felt a sudden rush of jealousy from right behind you.

Letting out a small shriek, you jumped in your chair and turned around. "J-Junko—!?"

"Heya!" Junko grinned, hopping onto your desk with a smirk. "How's my little empath doing..?"

"..I'm okay?" You hesitantly responded, unsure of how to reply to being called little. "—Y-You scared me for a second."

"I did?" She put one hand on her hip and her other on her chin, seemingly in deep thought. "...Sorry about that!"

"Yeah.."

There was an awkward silence between the two of you. Well, awkward for you. Meanwhile, Junko happily swung her legs off your desk, occasionally hitting one of the metal legs. Hiro looked as though he wanted to say something, but he ended up staying silent.
