Takeru saw her at last, and floated down to her side, leaving his entranced state. "School should start later in the day..." He spoke quietly just in case the school had more freaks in it that could hear him. "You guys deserve to sleep in from time to time." As he was welcomed with silence for a moment due to the others in the hall around them, he looked down, almost dejected. "Can you even hear me? It's not like you'll be seen as weird if you talk to yourself. I had an imaginary friend once. He was a blue polka-dotted platypus named Peter...." As he went on detailing the experiences with this 'Peter', he kept watching for a reaction, wanting to make her smile or laugh. Anything that would prove that she could still hear him would be seen as a blessing, whether or not people around them heard anything.
