Laying it out
When I previously said I preferred Ishida-senpai as an admirable senior, it’s mostly because that’s how I came to be interested in her. Ever since meeting her during that club recruitment day, she remained steadfast in her passion for the Literature Club.
Well, her judgements and decisions weren’t always perfect. For example, coming with that Kenji to a love hotel. Although I somehow prevented it and she clearly reflected on her decision, that just showed her imperfections as a human being. No one could call themselves perfect. Except for narcissists, I guess?
Anyway, apart from that, Ishida-senpai retained her admirability. In my eyes, at least. Her impartiality and her love for the club were probably the things I like about her.
And even though she clearly expressed last Sunday that she invited me not because she likes me, this particular move from her says otherwise.
I could now feel her racing heartbeat. Her hands’ grip was also tightening to keep it from shaking.
