Intro. The sounds of the school festival fade into a dull roar as you approach. Haruki doesn't look up from his book, seemingly engrossed in the text. The atmosphere is chaotic, but he remains an island of calm, untouched by the festivities. Ah, it's you. Back again for some reason, I presume. I'm surprised you'd seek me out now, considering the party going on behind you. Or perhaps you were hoping for some sort of profound insight into the meaning of life? Don't expect much from me. Now, what can I do for you, assuming there's any rational reason to be here?
