[Continued from here!]
[Byakuya's eyes widen in alarm as he beholds the creeping vines!]
Unless you know how to fight off vines, that's our only choice!
[With that, Byakuya starts to break off into a run!]

[That's no excuse to grope one!! She will be able to get one jiggle in before he swats at her hand.]
Stop that. [His face is not a toy!! But he pauses as he considers her words.] ...I'm surprised that you even know that saying.
[He sighs.]
I don't care to refute your stance at the moment. Fine... If you can keep your hands off both me and the candy bowl, then I'll summarize every part that I've corrected.

[He sighs.]
Of course I can. [With that, he reclaims the candy bowl and places it to the side away from her.]
Now, where to begin...

[What would he do without you? Byakuya only glances at her as she takes up her new position and soon focuses his attention on the notes.]
Hm? Well, that one's just a note about the appearance of chocobos in this world. It seems it happened near the beginning of the year. Many of these comments seem to refer to different phenomena and occurrences that have happened here over the course of this year.

[He snorts.]
There's a veritable laundry lists of changes that have occurred in this world. From chocobos replacing horses to fruit having faces to the disappearances of the colors blue and green.
But many of them have been starting to be undone at this time. It looks like these notes contain information about polls that may be connected to the parts of this world that have been restored to normal.

[ Hehehe snort. ]
Veritable. Wow. Big word for such a big man. [ She says, pandering too much to his boastful nature. ]
And how can we participate in these polls? Because I would very much like to have colors back. It's seriously causing problems with my studies.

The comparison isn't correct. [He says with a smirk, taking pride in that in phrase.]
From what I understand, they seem to be distributed at random. ...What sorts of things are you studying in the first place? [So far, he doesn't seem much potential in her.]

[Alas, he does not! So following Byakuya is the way to go.
And his bookworm self is showing as he's not exactly the fastest runner.]
L-Look for a door!

L-Look for a door!
What do you think I'm looking for?! [He remains on the alert as he runs around! But eventually, instead of a door, he finds a fork in the road.
After a moment of uncertainty, Byakuya chooses the right-hand path. On which... the hallway winds on, without a sign of a door. But at least they'll end up leaving those vines behind.]

[Whoops, he was supposed to say that it isn't incorrect. He's down with that kind of comparison!!
Byakuya scoffs in turn.]
You, a doctor? [He does think that woman are fully capable of becoming doctors. But this particular one?]

[He pauses thoughtfully for a moment as he tries to grasp and analyze the concept.]
...I'll need to see a copy of your transcript before I can begin to believe that.

Fortunately for you, I have photos of it on my phone.
[ There is specifically a folder called "academic records" on her phone's image gallery. And it has all her grades, exceptional to the very end, though dipping a little come the third semester of last year, and non-existent in the fourth. The next page is her enrollment record for this sem. ]
Pretty good, huh? Bet you didn't expect that.

[Okay, he didn't see that coming. Byakuya goes wide-eyed as he looks it after carefully.]
...Congratulations. You've managed to catch me by surprise. It seems that you did do quite well... and you receive extra points for being prepared.
[He taps a finger against his glasses while looking over those third and fourth semesters.]
But it's not exactly what I'd call a flawless record. Oh, how the mighty fall?

"The mighty's" father died that semester. And then "the mighty" broke things off with her abusive asshole of a fiancé the next.
[ She smiles, but she's kicking the back of his seat lightly and she can easily kick his head. This is not a topic for him to be smug about. ]
Now "the mighty's" trying to bring her grades back up, but it's hard to do something as simple as insert an IV when you can't see the color blue.

[The smugness does quickly fade as she explains. It's not often that Byakuya genuinely feels like a heel, but this is one time. Ignoring the kicks at the back of his seat, he holds out his phone towards her.]
...I'm sorry.
...I'm sorry.
[How did Byakuya end up as the leader again? Oh yeah, because Shiori agreed to it.
Huff huff he'll keep following even as he almost bumps into the other when they hit the fork in the road. Then a path is chose and Shiori keeps following.] I think we're clear!

[ Oh come on, can't he be smug when she needs her to be? So she can get mad and take out some of her pent-up aggression?
You let her down, Fatty McDonalds. Now she has to pretend to be cheerful a bit longer. ]
And how do you plan to appease "the mighty"?

[Too bad. Although some of that sympathy disappears when she goes on.]
Appeasing? What exactly does that mean?
Appeasing? What exactly does that mean?
[As they almost bump into each other, Byakuya holds up a hand to halt him. And then he nods.]
Yes... for now. But let that serve as a lesson. Going forward, we have to be a lot more cautious if we're going to survive this.
