Narrator's POV:

When a person has extreme social anxiety, or sociophobia, they struggle to communicate with others, however, when they do, they lie in bed thinking to themselves questions like: "why did I say that?!"

Tadano has had this kind of situation this day and couldn't sleep.

Conversation with Yamai:

Yamai: "Hey, Tadano, what does Komi like to eat?"

Tadano took a while to answer and then thought that she likes omelets.

Worries: 

Did I take too long?

Why does she want to know that?

Aren't omelets too childish?

Conversation with Najimi:

Najimi: "Hey Tadano! Let's play the Saito game because we couldn't the other day!"

Tadano took a while to answer, again, but then he popped up some cat ears and accepted.

Worries: 

Did I look tense?

Why do I have cat ears sometimes!?

Conversation with Agari: 

Agari: "And so, the papers (kami) got wet, I'm so clumsy!"

Tadano: "Your cold (kaze) is better?"

Agari: "Huh? No, there wasn't any wind (kaze)...?"

Worry:

I completely misunderstood what she said!!!

Kami (Paper) <======> Kami (Hair)

Kaze (Cold) <======> Kaze (Wind)

Conversation with Henry:

Henry: "Oh, perhaps you mixed up paper (kami) with hair (kami), and cold (kaze) with wind (kaze)?"

Agari: "AH! S-SORRY FOR TALKING IN SUCH A MISLEADING WAY!"

Henry: 'None of them are going to be able to even sleep...' "It's fine, it does happen, for example, the other day, I thought someone said 'Taisho democracy' when what they said was 'Todai aristocracy'! Funny, huh?'

Worries:

...

Tadano was finally able to fall asleep.
