The Reason 9: Strike a Match
Science started out better than English, considering Mr. Ohtani didn't raise a fuss when Koharu entered the room five minutes after the bell rang. He just nodded when she flashed the note and motioned her to sit in the empty seat next to a Ra - one from Sho's study group, she recalled. An Obelisk did laugh at Koharu being a Slifer, to which Mr. Ohtani asked him what was so funny. "Girls aren't in Slifer, it's weird," the Obelisk replied. "And you know what else is weird, one in twenty people will have an extra rib, do you want me to discuss why that's actually normal?" The Obelisk blinked at the calm retort while a handful of students snickered (a few other had confused looks - including Koharu herself - because yeah the comeback was unique but definitely strange). Then Mr. Ohtani said that rude comments should be kept to oneself and he would only accept interruption via raised hand before continuing on about the syllabus. Overall, Science went well, but Koharu still left class

The Reason 8: It Doesn't Matter If Its Good Enough
Koharu always hated throwing up. The unnatural feeling of food coming back up, the dry heaving and coughing that followed, the scratchiness of her throat afterwards, and the tears that flowed down her face through it all made her feel absolutely disgusting in the end. But what she hated the most about throwing up were the memories and words that floated around in her head, during and after. Koharu had never gotten sick . Never had the cold or flu, never laid in bed as she was fed liquids with her nose burning and a damp cloth on her forehead. No, all of the times she threw up were the result of her anxiety elevating beyond what her body could handle. Usually this meant a ton of people were there to witness her darting into the bathroom or to the nearest trash can, laughing at her as her stomach released all it had. Thankfully, this time there didn’t seem to be anyone around her, so that was good… Or it was, until Koharu finally realized she had thrown up in the hallway. I didn’t

"Maya, what's wrong?" Asuka asked as the two studied Koharu in her full-length mirror. "Your outfit is great! I love the longer skirt. Kinda wish I had that option."
Her friend was right. Thanks to her design and measurements impressing Chancellor Samejima, she got to wear an outfit that she loved pretty much everything about. Her vest was primarily red like Judai's instead of white with red highlights, which would have mirrored the Obelisk design. The black turtleneck tank top wasn't too tight around her neck, and the fabric was soft against her skin. And she wasn't wearing the standard short skirt the other girls had to wear, but rather a t

The Reason 6: Life is Just a Simple Melody
Judai ran along the dirt path that led back to school, figuring Maya wouldn’t take another way. She seemed so sad, and Judai wanted to help however he could, no matter what Chazz said. And while he usually trusted Daichi since he was super smart, Judai felt like leaving Maya alone wouldn’t help her at all.
It wasn’t long before he saw her, walking slowly with her head hung low. “Hey! Maya!” he shouted.
Maya suddenly stopped and turned her head towards him. “Judai?” she asked when he was at her side. “What are you doing?”
“Catching up with you!” Judai replied with a grin. ̶

The Reason 5: Feel the Pain When it Hits You
Despite all of the complaints he could make against Koharu’s breakfast he had that morning, if she were a bragger she could at least brag that it was made completely by hand.
Chazz, meanwhile, made instant miso.
What an upstanding guy.
“Whatcha makin’, Boss?” Yellow asked.
“Miso soup,” Chazz answered surprisingly calm, waiting for the microwave to go off.
“Why?”
“Because it’s comfort food with a high protein count.”
“But why are you making it?”
“Because if there’s one definite way to calm Koharu down, it’s eating

It took a bit of fumbling through the small suitcase she had brought, but eventually Koharu found her deck. And without looking at the cards she owned, Koharu knew it was a sad one.
“Maya, why are you so down on yourself?” Asuka asked. “You haven’t even drawn a card, but you look like you only have 200 life points left.”
Koharu’s frown lightened a tad. “I guess I shouldn’t be fretting over it so early, huh?” she replied quietly. “I just…can’t help it.”
Asuka put a comforting hand on her shoulder. “Everything will be fine,” she assured. &

The Reason 3: Take Your Past, Shut Your Eyes
"Gooooood morning Boss- AH!"
Generic blaring alarms were less annoying than Ojama Yellow, and that was a fact.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to wake me up!" Chazz shouted, scowling towards the direction he had flung the spirit.
"But Boss, today's the day you show that new girl around!" Yellow replied excitedly, darting around the room with more energy than anyone - spirit or otherwise - should have so early in the morning.
"Yeah, I know," Chazz said dully. Then he grabbed his phone and checked the time, which he then proceeded to shove in Yellow's overeager face. "Except that I don't have to be up for another hour!"
