It's different, of course.

[ Like he's supposed to pick up on subtle differences.. she keeps everyone to extremely high expectations, it's crazy. ]

This is of course Bach's Sonata No. 2 in A minor. [ Sipping her tea. She isn't even looking in his direction.. ]

And close the door behind you.

[departing]

Sorry. [He forgot about that. CLOSING THE DOOR NOW.]

How is it different again? It sounds similar.

[huntressing]

If you listen carefully enough, the adagio two minutes in is much different. While that one had four notes in quick succession, this one only has three.

[ Like it's easy to notice, or even natural.. ]

[departing]

Miss Inori would be better at noticing it than I would. She really likes music and even writes her own songs.

I don't have any of her musical talent. How am I supposed to notice that? Tricks or hints...is there anyway to tell?

[huntressing]

...

Shu, sit down.

[ There's another chair at the table and another cup filled with tea, after all.. OH GOD OH MAN PRIVATE MUSIC LESSONS WITH MASAKO. HAPPY HAPPY FUN FUN. ]

[departing]

[Just when you thought you were done with bach...]

What? Okay...

[he sits down and tries to settle into it. WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN? PRIVATE MASAKO LESSONS. OH BOY EVERYONE'S FAVORITE TIME kyuubey.]

[huntressing]

[ She'll make a man out of him yet... although it arguable if these skills will help him anything, but still. ]

Drink your tea. [ Yes, she's just ordering him around even if it isn't in some snappy way.. ]

[departing]

[He stiffens up as if he were being ordered and nervously glances at Masako.]\

Yes ma'am.

[Sipping tea now! He doesn't look elegant at it all.]

[huntressing]

[ ...

She's just staring at him and his horrible etiquette all across the board. WHO TAUGHT YOU MANNERS, HUH, SHU. ]

Is this the way you always drink tea?

[departing]

N-No why?

I'm really nervous and well. The atmosphere is really something? [THAT CLASSICAL MUSIC.]

[huntressing]

[ DOES IT INTIMIDATE YOU, SHU.. do you feel like you've ended up in an episode of Death Note. ]

If you can't show manners, then you might leave a bad impression on people. Have you never considered that before?

[departing]

Somehow I always manage to leave bad impressions. [He's rubbing his cheek in embarrassment.]

It's not that I can't show manners. I can't handle the atmosphere here.

Sorry, I'm not used to this. Maybe I'll just leave. [He feels remorseful for it and wants to quit before he pisses Masako off more.]

[huntressing]

[ Hey, it's not like she's annoyed. If anything, Masako is always really calm even when she is insulting people.. ]

What's so wrong about this atmosphere?

After all.. the only person here is me. [ Does she make you uncomfortable?! ]

[departing]

What do you mean by just you??

Anyone would feel out of place here. [He's getting all huffy now.]

[huntressing]

Why? Enjoying a cup of tea with this kind of music is something very common. I do it every morning.

[ It's why she bought this stuff as soon as she could with her money, she needs to keep up her routine from back home. ]

[departing]

You aren't seeing it. [HE GIVES UP.]

Forget I said anything.[Just sips his tea in the mean time.]

[huntressing]

[ Sorry, Shu, Masako is super stubborn.. but what else do you expect from her, this is just the way she is.

In fact, she goes back to drinking too, but then she just has to correct his etiquette here-- ]

Hold out your pinky as you sip.
