Shichi really liked to talk. “Wrong,” Mitsuko teased him. “I never sit by the window because the trees always try to distract me. I like to sit in the front, second or third row, that way I don’t have to see all the other people and can leisurely listen to the lecturer.” That is exactly the way that Mitsuko behaves in lectures. He just leans back and listens as if he is listening to someone tell a story. He also never takes any notes. Most lecturers feel uncomfortable under his constant stare as it seems to invite them to drift off the topic they are meant to talk about and lure them into tales of more unrelated subjects. “Since the back rows are where the people that are chatting sit, is that where you like to be?”
