3rd Person POV:

Darren and Maria returned to the student council's office where Tohsaka stared up from her paperwork.

Maria: We're back.

Tohsaka: Welcome back. Thank you...

Tohsaka just stared blankly at the stuffed kitty that Maria was holding.

Tohsaka: Well... you're holding something amazing there.

Maria: Isn't it cute?

Tohsaka: Indeed it is cute, but you're not thinking of putting it here, are you?

Tohsaka started to have cold sweats which made me sigh. Maria smiled at her cold sweat.

Maria: Can I?

Tohsaka just slumped into her seat before placing her pen on the table.

Tohsaka: No, please give me a break. 

Darren placed the bags on the table before adjusting his sunglasses.

Darren: These are the supplies we bought. 

Tohsaka walked towards the bags before peeking into them.

Tohsaka: Let's see... it's just the usual supplies. Itsuka. You're a good help. If Kujou had gone alone... I don't know what would've happened.

Maria suddenly perked up as Darren just lightly adjusted his hair.

Darren: (The student council office would've turned into a dreamland.)

Tohsaka placed a hand on my shoulder before smiling.

Tohsaka: What do you think, Itsuka? Do You still not want to join the student council?

Darren: Well, I don't mind helping out once in a while.

Maria: In that case, shouldn't you at least put your name on the member list?

Tohsaka: So you also agree, Kujou?

Darren adjusted his sunglasses again in shock before sighing.

Darren: No, putting my name is just... come to think of it, I can understand if it's just Kujou, but Tohsaka, why do you want me to join?

Tohsaka just gave Darren a cheeky grin which made him recoil.

Tohsaka: Why do you not want to join the student council? I don't think hard work is the only reason.

Darren: Because I'm not cut out to be a member of the student council.

Tohsaka: But Issei and I think differently. After all, aren't you already... an accomplished sorcerer? You, a genius who was able to defeat a special grade curse using nothing but pure cursed energy and not even use cursed techniques. It's impressive.

Darren froze at her statement before sighing again, he briefly stared at Maria who didn't mind what Tohsaka was saying.

Darren: I know I'm not a good fit precisely because of that. After all, I let so many people who trusted me down and all of their efforts went to waste.

Tohsaka: Did you really let them down? Yuji Itadori and Maki Zenin... were all allies who helped you get to this point, weren't they?

Darren: What?
