<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/wJe2bI4.jpg?2)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Megumi Shika<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Gymnasium Seating<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Day 1 - Shortly after entrance ceremony<br/><strong>With:</strong>Akiyama<br/><hr/><br/>Megumi's ears picked up noises of clashing chairs. Something was causing a cacophonous clamor, and it was coming her way. The initial noised caused the blind girl to jump slightly in her seat. At least one girl was looking at Akiyama, as Megumi actually turned to "look" at her clattering against chairs in her frantic approach. The noises were startling for Megumi, who put a careful hand to her blindfold in case she needed to take it off for an emergency. However, when she heard the girl's voice, the blind student lowered her hand.<br/><br/>Megumi remembered her.<br/><br/>Akiyama Amaya; Megumi had heard her voice in the group sessions. She didn't talk to her much and after, well,<em>that</em>happened, they spoke even less, but Megumi never forgot a voice. Though her eyes took the brunt of her brain's processing power, her memory was still eidetic. Megumi could thank her worthless father for that much, if for nothing else. She listened to to the girl speak, and made a small nod when she apologized.<strong>"Akiyama-san. I remember you, actually,"</strong>she said, gaining a weak smile.<strong>"I um, have trouble <em>not</em> remembering things."</strong>Megumi shook her head, shifting to face Akiyama fully.<strong>"And... it's alright. Actually... It's kind of a relief?"</strong>Megumi admitted.<br/><br/>Feeling she needed to explain, Megumi continued. Her fingers touched her blindfold lightly as she spoke, using it as a prop to explain.<strong>"I can't see anything with this blindfold, but I still can pick up on some things with my ears. Um. Changes in speech, terser diction, tapping feet... I don't gather much, but I've, um, always known what happened to Shiro-senpai angered you. I just, um, never knew how much? I was kind of afraid, actually! I read you were coming to this academy in the papers, but I didn't know if you'd do anything once you were out of the hospital. It's, um, silly and rude of me to assume that you would ever do anything! I know that, but... I've been dealing with that sort of paranoia for awhile now."</strong><br/><br/>Megumi had to take a moment to find the girl speaking to her. Her fingers explored in the girl's direction, feeling for and eventually finding Akiyama's hand. Megumi knew how much courage it probably took for Akiyama to say something like that. Not a lot of people did something like this offhandedly, and she felt that it had been eating at this girl more than she knew. If nothing else, Megumi wanted to put Akiyama's mind at ease. If allowed, the blind student would take the girl's hand in her own, and place the other atop of Akiyama's. It was almost like Megumi was comforting<em>her</em>, not the other way around.<strong>"So... Thank you, really."</strong><br/>
