"Hmm. An interesting reflection paper."

Mr. Osmond gently placed the electronic paper displaying my writing on the desk. After taking a sip of his coffee and pondering for a moment, he spoke.

"Akaya-kun, you're usually extremely reserved, but I've come to know you as an interesting student who, once you open up, reveals a unique way of thinking and a strong sense of conviction. Until now, you've always just quietly dealt with me, but this time, I'm happy to see some of your personality. I feel like we've grown closer. But that aside, there's one thing clear from this reflection paper: while you often smooth things over with a polite smile, you're also quite stubborn."

"Mr. Osmond, what exactly are you trying to say? I'm not quite getting it."

"Ah, well, I can't accept this as a reflection paper."

Mr. Osmond ran his fingers through his radiant golden hair and tapped the desk lightly with his fingers.
