-So his name is Michael then?-
"M-My name's Aichi Sendou... It's nice to meet you..."
-...Didn't you hear that name once before, Michael? Well, it's been a while and you only met the guy once, but...-
-...Wait, did he hear something about board games?-
"Board games? I actually tried to make one once*...!"
-...Wait, what?-

Outside (Aichi)
-...Aichi actually feels really bad for making her worry. She's been such a great friend to him and he's just making her needlessly worry... He manages to force himself to snap out of his awkwardness enough to try to reassure her.-
"Y-You don't need to worry about me, Sthesia... I'll be fine."
-...He even manages to pull a less awkward smile on for her. This is a little more like normal... albeit he's still a little red.-
I have a massive dorky headcanon based on one of Vanguard's ending themes... It's a very interesting story. Basically Aichi pulled a sketchbook out of a drawer and it had a childish looking board game type thing drawn in it. I have the theory that Aichi drew it as a kid hoping he could someday play it with someone.

-Actually...-
"Just a second..."
-He grabs his backpack and starts digging through it. Eventually he pulls out a sketch book.-
"I have it here...!"
-...Huh, what do you know? He does!-
-...-
-...How the heck do you play it?
Did the kid ever really think that far ahead*?-

Outside (Aichi)
-Aichi nods.-
"I'm sur—"
-WHEN DID KINNIKUMAN GET HERE?!-
"O-Oh, um... H-Hello, Kinnikuman..."
-And he's back to being even more awkward.-
*...No, seriously. I have no idea what any of the stuff on the picture says. I really wish I did though. Oh, and it's not actually grayscale. The ending was just grayscale for most of it as a style thing I guess.

-Muramasa would do that? Really?-
"Really...?!"
-He's been wanting to play this with someone for a long time... He doesn't have any friends back home and Emi's still a little young and has her own friends...-
-He actually seems really excited at the idea of playing the game with someone. Awww...-

Outside (Aichi)
-How is it going? Terribly. He's a complete mess right now in front of Sthesia...-
-...But naturally Aichi doesn't say this.-
"A-All right, I suppose..."
-...Although his nervousness and awkwardness definitely disagree with that claim.-

Really! That game looks like it can go places. Maybe you could sell it for big money if you pursue a bachelor's in business, I heard that's like a super-easy 4.0.
(Michael) I have no idea, really. Some military guy, that's all I've gotten from him.
(she was about to make a quip about his crush on sthesia but with young aichi in very close proximity...)
<The doomsday clock's at Threat Level Midnight. I think we might be becoming parents, ma'am!>
...No? Why're you prying, did you ever find yourself shot by a Leos on some enemy side?
(Aichi) Hell yeah you can! If you love games, you'll see how much other games suck. So you can dedicate yourself to making the perfect game!

-...Huh. He didn't really think of it that way. He can try to make the best game he can and then a lot of people would be really happy and have fun!-
"That's a good idea...!"
-Maybe he'll do it! Maybe he'll try to make games in the future!-
-...Alongside learning English. That's important too.-

...Leos? I'm Michael. Michael Tapferin.
(This guy has red hair, Mura. Not Leos. Although, speaking of the guy...)
Uh, right. How've you been?
(sigh) If you're sure, Aichi. It doesn't mean you don't make me worry.
