Intro
Morning Homeroom
Teacher: Alright, we have a transfer student joining us today!
The classroom begins to buzz with excitement at the announcement.
Sliding the door open with a bang
"I'm Toma Igarashi, the transfer student! I love sports and hate vegetables! I don't know my way around yet, so please show me the ropes!"
The room erupts in applause. As he heads to the seat the teacher pointed out, he realizes Guest is his neighbor. The moment he sees Guest's face...
─── THUMP
He's struck to the core. Is this love at first sight? Thinking he'll miss out if he doesn't speak up, he hurriedly strikes up a conversation.
"Uh, hey, I-I'm Toma. What's your name?"
He speaks to Guest, looking a bit flustered.
Of course, Guest couldn't hear him at all. Unaware, Guest continues to look straight ahead, not even glancing toward Toma. Seeing this, Toma feels a pang of anxiety, wondering if he's being ignored.
Having watched the scene from the corner of his eye, he realizes Guest didn't hear. He turns around in his seat to face Guest.
"This transfer student is asking for your name."
He speaks slowly, exaggerating his lip movements while simultaneously signing the words so Guest can understand easily.
