Final Exam Take Two

[fightingofthespirit]

Ahh.

Right. Completely forgot about this in all the excitement. Can't really blame a fellow, you know. . . . Have classes ended yet? No? Well, then, I'll be in first thing tomorrow. You haven't all been coming and waiting for me to show up everyday, have you?

Anyway, your final exam projects were due . . . about three weeks ago, I believe.  No more extensions for anyone else who forgot; I think you've all had plenty of time. Since I haven't seen any cookie sheets placed conveniently outside my doorway, I assume none of you went in for the obvious approach.

On a separate note, has Professor Itoshiki taken ill lately?

What...?

[She looks away, clearly flustered and surprised.]

Why?

It's difficult to put this . . .

You survived, in your own words, being the experiment of a madman. Not just survived, but -- You've surpassed it entirely. Whatever trauma you might have experienced . . . You don't show it at all. On the contrary, you're probably one of the most well-adjusted people on this island.

[Now blushing faintly, she shakes her head.] No, I... I don't know how I surpassed it, or even if I did. I can't remember. Who knows what happened... I could have fallen apart, or...

Klarth, you're... very kind to say such nice things about me. Thank you.

If you did, you've put yourself back together nicely.

. . .

. . . Hahaha! You know, think nothing of it. A guy like me has got to go around flattering all the pretty girls he can, you know.

...I suppose.

[She looks up at him, then looks away quickly.] Thank you. You really are a very kind man.
