Communication 35: Worries


People with communication disorders have difficulty engaging in conversation and other forms of interactions. Those who suffer from this condition often lie awake at night thinking: "Why did I say that?"

The Komi and the Tadano twins can't sleep.

Memory 1: Conversation with Yamai

Yamai - "Hey Komi-sans! And Tadano-kun, Tadano-san! What do you like to eat? I'll make it for you sometime!

...

The four begin to think about that.

Komi - "Omelets"

Shoko - "Steak"

Tadano - "Grilled Chicken"

Hito - "Spaghetti"

Yamai - "Omelets... and steak... grilled chicken and spaghetti? Okay, you got it!"

*Worry 1: Why did I take so long to respond?*

*Worry 2: Why was my answer so boring?*

*Worry 3 : Is grilled chicken/omelets/steak/spaghetti too childish?*

Conversation 2: Conversation with Najimi

Najimi - "Komi-sans! Tadano-kun! Tadano-san! Let's play the Saito game now, since we didn't get to the other day!"

Hito, Komi, Shoko - [H...Hmph!] 

^------ Experiencing a complicated mixture of hope, unease, and excitement.

Tadano - "..."

...

...

Tadano - [H...H...Hmph!] 

^------ Experiencing an extremely complicated mixture of hope, unease, embarrassment, and excitement.

*Worry 4: Did Najimi think I looked oddly tense?*

*Worry 5: Why do I have cat ears sometimes?*

Conversation 3: Conversation with Agari

Agari - "And then I got chili everywhere! Ugh... I am so hopeless!"

Hito - "Oh, is it cold out?"

Komi and Shoko point to Hito's notebook, pretty much saying she was going to say the same thing.

Tadano is just next to them, wondering the same thing as the others, but he just stays silent.

Agari - "Um... no. Why?"

They all are confused.

*Worry 6: I misunderstood! Chili <-----> Chilly*

Memory 4: Conversation with Sonoda

Sonoda - "I think they misunderstood chili with chilly."

Agari - "Oh no! S-Sorry! I sh-shouldn't have been so c-confusing!"

Sonoda - They're all going to fret over this later. "Don't worry. It happens to me all the time. Just the other day, I thought someone said Taisho Democracy, when he really said Todai Aristocracy! Is that funny?"

Komi - "It happens to me all the time."

Tadano nods enthusiastically.

Both Komi, Shoko, and the Tadano twins have fallen asleep.

And they slept the whole night.
