Nice to meet you!
I'm An Shiraishi. You can call me An.
Oh, did I startle you? Sorry about that!
I just wanted to get to know you since we're classmates and all!
(An's been such a good friend to me this past year... I want to pay her back somehow.)
(The only thing is...)
I started trying to make an easy-to-read notebook to help An study...
But it's taking more brain power than I expected to perfect the layout.
It's already tiring enough to write by hand!
*Sigh*
Maybe I should just type it up? I'd be done a lot quicker that way.
But writing by hand is helping organize my thoughts, and it's going to make it easier to teach An tomorrow...
*Sigh*
Oh well. I already got this far, so I guess I'll stick to making it by hand.
Oh, this part here has a lot of similar words bunched up together. It's already complicated, so it'll be bamboozling for someone who understands none of it.
I'll use colored pens and markers to break it up and... Whoa, that made it so much easier to read!
It's turning out so cute! I gotta keep this up!
There's just no way to explain this part in simple terms. If I simplify it any more, I'll be changing the meaning...
Hmm...
*Sigh*
I might have to give up on this one. For now, I guess I'll make some tea and work on an illustration...
Urgh, the text looks skewed to one side like this!
I could swap the sections around... It wouldn't match the order of the textbook anymore, but it'd look better visually.
Alright! On this occasion I'm prioritizing aesthetics!
*Yawn*
I'm getting sleepy...
Wait, it's only 3:30 a.m.?! I never get sleepy this early.
Though, I guess it makes sense. I actually went to school and even studied after classes.
The others are probably asleep now.
Actually, speaking of school, I should probably go to bed soon...
But the notebook's nearly done, so why don't I make some coffee and keep going for a while longer?
Oh, a message. Who could that be?
<Is anyone up still?>
<I'm working on something. I just got the urge.>
One from Enanan too. Looks like the rest of N25 are all up.
Well, I guess this is our usual peak time for deep concentration.
Looks like it's business as usual. Oh, I'd better reply.
<I'm up, but I'll be asking for trouble if I don't sleep soon.>
<Wait, you're still up, Amia? Don't you have school again tomorrow?>
<I was wondering about that. Is it okay for you to be up when you still have school tomorrow?>
<Aren't you going to sleep?>
<I'm working on something to prepare for my supplementary class tomorrow. I can't sleep until it's finished. Woe is me.>
<You have only yourself to blame for being put in those classes. I'm sure you'll be fine, but I won't let you live it down if you get held back.>
<Well done for working so hard, Amia. Just don't fall asleep at school.>
<I can't make any promises.>
Argh, what am I doing? I've gotta stop dawdling and get back to work!
Ahh! It's done!
It's nearly morning! That took longer than I thought.
I'm barely gonna get any sleep in. Hmm... I could skip the morning?
But I guess that's not an option right now. I don't want to draw attention to myself while I'm already taking supplementary classes.
I'll just message the others before I go to bed. “Good night!” Okay, now let's hit the hay!
(I wonder how An's gonna react when I give her this notebook... I hope she likes it.)
