[scoops up his cup]

No. . . I think I've had enough for one tea ceremony.

[sniffs]

[researcherstory]

My turn then.

[ Oh no-- ]

Do you always mirror the energy of the people around you?

1/2

[ordimame]

[. . . . . . .]

[ordimame]

I. . . don't know? Is that what I seem to be doing?

[researcherstory]

Yes. It isn't a bad thing, Edamura, but I have noticed it.

[ Whether he knows it or not. She takes a sip of her tea, closing her eyes. ]

... It is part of the adaptivity I mentioned, that you share with Maya. I simply thought I'd ask after it.

[ordimame]

[relaxing a bit when she says "it isn't a bad thing"]

Well, I don't even notice it. Maybe I feed off of everyone's energy because everyone here has such strong personalities?

[researcherstory]

[ What an interesting person he is. ]

It does make it difficult to stand out as oneself around them at times, doesn't it? When they're all so unique and willful.

[ordimame]

[a laugh]

Take one look at me, Odile-san, and tell me that I'm the kind of guy who likes to stand out.

[researcherstory]

Nor more than I do.

[ So absolutely not at all. ]

It's simply easy to get swept up and swallowed by such strong personalities. I enjoy how utterly and boringly normal you are.

[ordimame]

Why, thank you.

[PROUD]

That's the best compliment I have ever gotten.
