“...Hinoemata.”

Hinoemata. Needless to say, it was a name that meant absolutely nothing to me.

“Now that all of us have arrived, I hereby call our meeting to determine the next president of the literary club to order,” Sayumi said as she looked out across our assembled members. Tomoyo, Hatoko, Chifuyu and I were present, meaning that all current members of the literary club, formal and informal alike, were in attendance. “Being the current club president, I will serve as this discussion’s moderator, as per usual. That said, I do not intend to contribute to the conversation in a personal capacity. I hope you will all give this matter careful consideration and discuss your options thoroughly.”

With that, Sayumi turned to look each of the second-year members—me, Tomoyo, and Hatoko—in the eye. In all likelihood, one of us would become the next president.

“I guess Chifuyu’s probably not gonna get much out of this whole— Ah?!” I muttered as I looked over at the one member of our crew who wasn’t in the running, only to cut myself off as I realized what I was saying partway through.

Oh, come on, you know that’s not right! What are you even saying? Do you want to make the cultural festival disaster play out all over again?

Back when we were deciding who would get the role of Juliet in our play for the cultural festival, my thoughtless choices had deeply hurt Chifuyu’s feelings. I’d drawn a line between her and the rest of us, rationalizing my actions with the excuse that she was a grade schooler. I’d supposedly learned my lesson, and yet there I was, once again assuming she’d be excluded from the running for president—and for the exact same reason, at that! I was more or less treating her like an outsider!

Dammit, what is wrong with me? Am I completely incapable of learning from my mistakes, or what?!

“...not gonna get much from this whole explanation, since I’m sure she already figured all that out for herself! After all, Chifuyu’s a full-blown member of the literary club, just like the rest of us! Maybe she’ll be the next president! That’d be perfectly fine and normal!” I said. Well, more like shouted, really, in an effort to break myself out of the brainless rut I’d apparently gotten stuck in.

“No it wouldn’t. That would be weird,” said Chifuyu, providing a counterpoint so normal and reasonable, it was actually stunning. “I’m still an elementary schooler.”

“...”

“It would be weird for me to be president of a club at a school I don’t go to.”

“...”

“Anyone with common sense could see it’s not okay.”

“...Yup. True enough.”

How strange. Why is it that hearing Chifuyu say “anyone with common sense could see it” makes me feel so very begrieved? Maybe it’s because she is, very literally, the single last person on earth who could possibly have the right to say that to someone?

My little overreaction on account of semi-recent events had turned out to be mismatched with Chifuyu’s own perspective. Clearly, being counted out of the running for club president didn’t make her feel any sense of estrangement whatsoever.
