Hello there, my name is Mami Tomoe. I'm a third year middle school student, and it looks like tomorrow will be my first day in class here.

I suppose I'll need to go and find some supplies for my first day at school? I never would have guessed I would need to looking for a notebook again after I died. Does anyone have any recommendations?

[ Mami's voice sounds a little cheery, though she's always been so very great at putting on a facade that hid her true feelings. ]

I hope I won't be too far behind the lessons, if I am I might have to ask someone to help tutor me so I can catch up.

Well, thank you for your time.

[ On her first day Mami will be trying her best to find her classes, but she might need some helping making sure to go to the right room. Or perhaps she just looks lonely, sitting by herself as she eats, unable to convince herself to try and find someone to share lunch with. It might be obvious that there's something bothering her, perhaps the normalness of all she is suddenly hit with, after preparing herself for her own death.

In general though, she seems approachable, as she always has wanted to be, and wouldn't say no to a friendly face. ]

... Oh, is that so.

[ She won't ask, even though Haruhi has the slight feeling that she's lying. Oh, well. ]

Man, and I thought I was going to meet someone with super-cool powers! I mean, I've met aliens, time travelers, and espers... a magical girl to top it all off would be amazing, you know?

[losthersheep]

You've met those type of people?

[ All those things are things Mami's met with, and knows exists. But she's surprised that Haruhi has seen them, despite not being a magical girl. The whole alternate world thing is still not something she understands. ]

You've must have had an interesting life then. [ Even though she had seen similar things, she would never say her life was interesting. Not after she found out the truth.. but at least she can fake enthusiasm to cheer up Haruhi. ]

[extraordinarily]

That was here.

[ Haruhi swallows nervously, shaking her head, a melancholic smile on her lips. ]

My life wasn't all that interesting, really...

[losthersheep]

I think it's good though, to have an ordinary life. I wish sometimes my life had been a lot more ordinary..

[ There's definitely a sound of loneliness to her own words. ]

[extraordinarily]

Nooooo way!

[ Haruhi folds her arms over her chest, narrowing her amber brown eyes in an annoyed state, spinning on her heel as she speaks up in a slightly, authoritative, yet slightly annoyed tone. ]

Ordinary life like that… [ Her voice is as low as a growl as she says this, clenching her hands into tight, balled fists, gritting her teeth. ] I didn’t want a life like that. That kind of life-- there’s no way I would accept a life like that.

[ Of course, she’s speaking more to herself than to Mami at this point; she doesn’t mind ordinary days at times, but having it for so long was something that she despised so much. It made her feel insignificant. ]

[ Mami is surprised to see Haruhi react like that, but she doesn't budge an inch, despite the pain in her that she is slowly starting to feel. ]

There are worse lives you could have had. You could have been a slave, or been forced to see your friends die in front of you. Isn't ordinary better than that?

[ Her voice is quiet, but sure, for the first time in a long time, trying to let how she feels out. ]

... Even so, I didn't want to be seen as the same as everyone else. Everyone, everyday simply did the same thing. Wake up, go to school, do homework-- I lived a dull life. I didn't want that.
