As Shinjiro sits down and situates himself, he realizes there's someone else standing there. You'd think a growing teenage boy would notice the half-naked and inked girl standing there beside the bench at the start, but his head's pretty foggy.

He instinctively slides to the opposite side of the bench, trying not to let her appearance bother him. It's apparent that it's had some effect, though: his face is red. It's probably just the illness setting in faster...except not really.

He clears his throat. She can sit if she wants.
