[Floyd has a deflated look as Hajime makes yet ANOTHER excuse to get out of spending time with him. Oh well, there is always Kreutzer!]

Very well Dad, I will walk the lonely road alone! I will soon have an army of friends at school who I can travel with on school days!

[Delusion. The perfect way to overlook cold hard fact!]

I suppose I should set off now! I have to be prudent on my first day of school!

[Floyd gets up and grabs his bag before heading out to school. Hajime can rest now, while it's the school's turn to mentally face palm itself into unconsciousness!]
