WHAT IS DONE
Just a few comments and questions...
"Oh. How is Touga-sempai, by the way?"
Can I be honest with anyone about that? No; not even you,
Miki-kun. I can't risk exposing a weak point in my brother to
anyone; even to you. "He's fine."
"How are his efforts to get Kyouichi-sempai readmitted
going?"
"Fine."
I can't blame Kyouchi-san for what happened. He's
Oniisama's friend. He would never do something like that on
purpose.
For the record, I think Saionji's only called Kyoichi once (by Toga).
Everybody calls him Saionji, including Miki and Nanami.
"I don't think I feel the same way about Kozue that you feel
about Touga-sempai, Nanami."
Why do you say it like that?
"Oh? And how exactly do I feel about Oniisama that's so
different from how you feel about Kozue-san, Miki-kun?"
What indeed? ;)
"Kittens sure sleep a lot, don't they?"
So weak.
"Yes, they certainly do."
Click.
What is with that stopwatch, anyway? Someday, I'll have to
corner you and ask you--and not let you go until you give me a
straight answer.
At Animazement, Kunihiko Ikuhara was asked just what was the purpose of
Miki's clicking his stopwatch. His response: "It's just there."
"Dvorák."
"What's that, Oniisama?"
"It's Dvorák. That I'm listening to."
"What's Dvorák?"
"Not what. Who."
"Oh."
My brother has strange taste in music.
Is that what he's listening to? Which piece by Dvorak?
(For the record (no pun intended), Bach's "Jesus, Joy of Man's Desiring,"
which anime fans will know from the _End of Evangelion_ movie, plays in the
background in episode 37 of Utena.)
I've been reading the charter of the Student Council
recently.
There are some useful rules about siblings of members acting
as proxies.
It's almost as though they were written just for you and me,
Oniisama.

"Nanami-sama, what are you incinerating?"
"Tsuwabuki-kun! You surprised me; don't sneak up on me so
quietly like that."
I thought there was something fishy about Nanami's sudden appointment to
the Council...
