Huh." Taro tried to imagine how he would reacted to someone in his homeroom making a suggestion like that. It took him a moment, but then he thought he might have figured it out.<br/><br/>"Maybe they all jumped on that idea because it is exotic and foreign, but not as foreign or exotic as  doing something .... abnormal. Of all the foreigners and newcomers around here this year you might be the one most people can still relate to. Or think they can relate to. Strange and foreign, but still human."<br/><br/>The comment about all gaijin looking alike, Taro just let slip. He knew they didn't. He had been around, seen things and places and people his fellow students could only dream about. Instead he took another deep breath and smiled.<br/><br/>"Half a day, just to prepare some food? That's... long. How about you tell me what to do and I take over for a little while? I'll probably miss the last bus anyway. Might as well stay here instead of walking back into town."
