She wasn't quite sure what to think about it, all told. One the one hand, she certainly had no problems with being around boys; ask her out-of-school sparring partners. On the other hand, accessible boys meant that some girls might avoid certain types of relationship they would otherwise partake in; that could be problematic for her. But, then again, that would better separate the worthwhile targets from the lost causes.<br/><br/>So, they were arriving. Or, at least, that was the likely reason for the summons Manami and company were responding to. Very well. Hopefully it would disturb this ever so boring class. Mariko wanted absolutely nothing to do with childcare; she was working out a song to try, but that would be much easier with her guitar and without the teacher's voice.<br/><br/>Thinking about it, the rumor was pervasive enough to almost certainly be true, but certain things didn't quite add up. Shouldn't there have been construction going on? Mariko didn't really care if she was watched changing, but most of the others would, and she really didn't need to see<em>them</em>change. Oh, well, maybe the staff had a plan. She'd find out soon enough.
