We picked up our fallen chairs, sat back down, and resumed our interview. Things still felt pretty awkward, if I’m being totally honest, but we didn’t have the luxury of letting that get to us. The clock, after all, was ticking.

“This is bad... We’re in big trouble, Hatoko,” I said.

“I know,” Hatoko agreed. “There’s barely any time left before we have to pack up and go home...”

The school’s gates would indeed be closed soon, but that was not, in fact, what I was worried about. We’d talked about finishing this up before we had to leave, but if the naming discussion ended up dragging into tomorrow, that wouldn’t be a disaster or anything. No, the real problem was...

“We’re running seriously low on pages here...”

We were down to about a quarter of our allotted page count, and we’d barely even mentioned Hatoko’s power so far. We were moving even slower than we had back in the Route of Origin story. Plus, my banter with Sayumi had at least included discussion of her power and its name, to some extent, whereas this time we’d basically just been chatting like a couple of totally normal childhood friends. We’d reminisced about the old days, dredged up memories about my shameful past that were better left forgotten, and said basically nothing about power names whatsoever.

“All right, Hatoko—we’re picking up the pace! We have to take this seriously, or there’s a very real chance we actually won’t finish in time,” I said.

“Okay, Juu, but the thing is...I don’t know what taking this seriously would even mean,” said Hatoko.

“To start, let’s try a tactic I used on Sayumi: why don’t you tell me about the things you like? Like, what are your hobbies?”

“Watching comedy shows, I guess.”

“Yup. Figures.”

I don’t even know why I asked, in retrospect. Hatoko loved comedy, to the point that she could be kind of obnoxiously picky about it. Like, she was a fan of this one show that had comedians try to make a particular member of a live audience laugh, and she got super upset whenever the audience member who got picked stubbornly refused to do so, even when the joke was funny.

“It’s not like I’m a comedy expert, though,” Hatoko continued. “I like watching comedians on TV and online, but it’s not like I go to live shows all that often. If someone like me said that they were a comedy fan, then all the real comedy fans would probably laugh at them.”

“I mean, sure, but who cares? If you like comedy, then it’s fine to say so.”

“Yeah, I know, but still,” Hatoko half-heartedly replied.

I could actually really understand where she was coming from. “Yeah, it’s just one of those things, right? Sometimes it’s hard to say you like something when you don’t know the subject from top to bottom, or whatever.”

“Right! That’s exactly it,” said Hatoko. “There was this one time in middle school when I heard a song in a commercial that I really liked, so I rented the CD it was on to listen to it.
