Being too self-conscious was something everyone would experience more times than they thought in their life. It concerned one’s confidence, after all. If you did something that would plummet that confidence down. Oftentimes, the one experiencing it would suffer from it. Furthermore, it was even more emphasized to an overthinker.
That’s how it was for me before. Despite my shamelessness, it didn’t become an exception.
And today, it manifested in Komoe. Even though she declared that she’d be fine earlier, upon nearing the school gates wherein a wave of students had started to arrive, the girl instinctively hid behind me to avoid her classmates’ eyes.
Miura-senpai helped me to try and calm her down but to no avail. Soon, it even got worse when we finally reached the School Building.
