 On an anime game Whoa at a table of turns What's going on guys? My name is Jack. You can call me a shinobi. We have a special over here We have a special guest on the video today. We have my good friend turbo You can find him over on YouTube. I do a podcast every Saturday over at over on his channel Which will be linked in the first link down in the description below. We do the it is what it podcast every Saturday He is very he doesn't like anime He's very opposed to it not a fan But today we we decided to have some bonding times from father some bonding time and play some Doki-doki literature club, which has been one of the most requested games even before I had this channel When I just stream on Twitch and did my other channel I was still told to play this because it's very weird apparently and very it gets very crazy So we're gonna figure it out together. So we're gonna hop literally right that we have to enter a name right Okay, here's the first big step. I'm when I first played this I made it my high school science teacher Mr. La Porta. Okay, so when they speak to you It's like La Porta La Porta. So that's so we got to have a funny Someone like close to us. Yeah, what's your grandfather's name? What like to think of something like I don't know I think you don't want to hear this in an anime this name You will never hear right Just happy like whoever, you know, I feel we should do someone that's like that we both know Well, who's a worldwide known person we both know Let's do people we're doing people people miss the wall. Mr. Mr. World wide Hey, I see an annoying girl running toward me from the distance waving her arms into air like she's totally oblivious to any attention She might draw to herself that girl is a series my neighbor and good friends since we were children You know the friend you never see yourself making the day but just kind of works out because you've known each other for so long We used to walk to school together on days like this but starting around high school She would oversleep more more frequently, but she's going to chase me after me like this I almost feel better off running away. However, I just sigh and I don't in front of the crosswalk and let's say we catch up I like how it's like say re and it's just But I call you this time Maybe but only because I decided to stop and wait for you. You sound a little aggressive. I know but she looks Already You say that like you were thinking about ignoring me why is she already like like all about That's why I don't like anime Okay, but there's a pretty wide rain. There's a pretty wide rain. That's mean people Well if people stare at you and for acting weird, but I don't want that to think we're a couple of something Fine why they actually calmed her down, but he did wait for me after all we did I Guess you don't have it in you to be mean even if you want to whatever Pitbull I miss the world right We cross the street together and make our way to school as we draw near the streets become increasingly speckled with other students Making their daily commute by the way pitbull. Have you decided on a club to join yet? Oh a club I told you already. I'm not really interested in joining any clubs. Oh, Doki Doki literature club You told me you would join a club this year Did I I'm sure it's possible. I did in one of our many conversations where I just Dismissively go along with whatever she's going on about Sarah likes to worry a little too much about me when I'm perfectly content Just getting up by on the average while spending my free time on games and anime Exactly me. Don't have to have any interactions. Just let me do my thing Back there you like very like very Exaggerated I'm very talking about how I'm worried that you won't learn how to socialize. I have any skills before college Ah, you're your happiness is really important to me, you know And I know you're happy now But I die at the thought of you becoming a neat in a few years I don't know in a few years because you're used to being a real-world bitch You trust me, right? Don't make me keep worrying about you. All right. All right. I'll look at a few clubs if it makes you happy No promises though We at least promise you'll try. Oh Yeah, I guess I'll promise you that Why do I get my let myself get lectured by such a carefree girl or that I'm surprised I even let myself relent to her I guess seeing her worry so much about me makes me want to ease her mind at least a little bit Even if she does exaggerate everything inside of her head and then we fade to the classroom This school day is Well, you know this is the setting in which it goes down. It's good thing. Okay. Okay That's why I pack my pack of my things. I stare blankly at the wall looking for an ounce of motivation Clubs, sir. He wants me to check out some clubs. I guess I have no choice but to start with the anime club Okay, relative interests. That's it. Oh, sorry You got we gotta give we got we need some space sorry. This is getting Sary sir must have come to class while spacing out. I look around realize I'm not I'm the only one left in the classroom I do I catch you coming out of the classroom, but I saw you just sitting here and spacing up So I came in honestly you're even worse than me sometimes. I'm impressed You don't need to wait up for me if it's going to make you like to your own club What club is she in? Well, I thought you'd might need some encouragement. So I thought you know Know what? Well, you can come to my club. Let's go Sarah Yeah There is no way I'm going to your club Sarah is vice president of the literature club. Oh, oh, oh That's it, bitch. Not that I was ever aware that she had any interest in literature In fact, I'm 99% sure she did it because she thought it would be a fun It'd be fun to help start a new club And she was the first one to show interest as of the one who proposed the club She inherited the title vice president. That said my interest in literature is guaranteed to be even less Yeah, I'm going to the anime club Come on, please. Sarah. You're very masculine at times She's going to Adam's apple. Oh well I'm kind of told the club yesterday. I would bring in a new member. Why are you promising things? You can't offer Sarah the bitch And that's who you make cupcakes. Oh Hey Don't make promises. You can't kiss. I'm saying pitbull. She's half a dolphin I can't tell if Sarah is really that much of an airhead or if she's just if she's so cunning as to have planned all of this out I let out a long sigh Fine I'll stop by for a cupcake, okay Yes, let's go Alright on to the literature club. That's today marks today. I sold myself for a cupcake. I would too. This makes sense It's actually ball Sarah cost going upstairs a section of school I rarely visit being generally used for third year at classes and activities my real high school the third floor Yeah, I like the drug floor There was fingers entering orifices. Oh, okay. Okay. Say are we full of energy swings open the classroom door I guess we'll see if it translates to the real world Mm-hmm Everyone the new member is here. You may have seen my MTV. I never said I'd be a member I just said I told you don't call me a new member and I glance around the room Look mother lecture club. It's a pleasure meeting you girl one Okay, yes, one looks a little bit like more of like a vice or like a presidential like, you know class president Manipulative type, you know so Jack. Yes, so continue. Yeah, explain later. So he always says nice things about you Brought a boy way to kill the atmosphere Wait, this is all girls. What a nice surprise all the club All worlds escape me in this situation. This club is full of incredibly cute girls What are you looking at if you want me to say if you want to say something say it? She seems a bit rude. She is a bit rude. Yeah, she's the one. That's the hothead. Yeah, yeah Natsuki. Hmm the girl with the sour attitude whose name is apparently not suki is one I don't recognize her small figure makes me think she's probably a first year She's also the one who made cupcakes according to Sarah. You can just ignore when she gets moody. Sarah says that. Oh Oh, I apologize. I apologize. I was getting so excited Then turn oh quietly into my ear. You got to say it quietly into my ear. Oh So, oh, oh, it says quiet. Okay, then he was like, what am I gonna say next to I don't know sit and just improvise Do you like her tits? Sari says that quietly into my ear. This turns back to the other girls. Anyway, this is not suki. It's me. Oh Go go on. Go on. Anyway, this is Natsuki always full of energy and juices And this is Yuri the s'mores in the club Don't say things like that Yuri who appears Comparably more mature and timid. He does have a hard time keeping up with people like Sari and Natsuki even though she's older Oh, well, it's nice to meet both of you And it sounds like you already know Monica. Oh, I forgot about Monica. That's right. I'm wait Monica looks the exact same as What's her name? Just a regular low on budget. They were low on budget It's great to see you again pitbull Monica smiles sweetly with the hands behind the back and everything Yeah, we have to look out Monica. Oh, she bit dangerous We do know we do know each other well We really talked but we were in the same class last year I was probably the most popular growing class smart beautiful athletic basically completely out of my league So having her smile at me so genuinely feels a little you too, Monica Sit down pitbull. We made room for you at the table seeking sit next to me and Monica. I'll sit next to Monica Say thank you. I'll get the I'll get the quakes Hey, I made them. I'll get them. Oh Sorry, I get a little too excited. No fingers How about I make some tea as well What kind of school is this the girls have a few deseranged form of table a story mentioned It's been widened so that there's one space next to Monica and one space next to Sarah That's okay and Yuri walk over the corner of the room where that's okay grabs a wrapped train Yuri opens the closet It's definitely awkward. I take a seat next to Sarah. That's okay. Probably marches back to table tray in hand Okay, are you ready? Ta-da. Whoa? Oh wait, this is you Mm-hmm Natsuki lifts the foil off the tray to reveal a dozen white fluffy cupcakes decorated It looked like little cats whiskers are drawn with icing little pieces of chocolate. We're using my gears I Had no idea you were so good at baking. That's okay. I mean it's cupcakes Do cupcakes take a lot of I don't know dude when you eat cupcakes Jack Do you cut them in the middle making like a sandwich or the frosting in the middle now? No, but I was just taught that recently and it does kind of work pretty well Just hurry and take one say every grabs one first in Monica. I followed Oh, oh Delicious fuck. Oh god. This is kind of a rough cupcake. Oh my fucking god. Oh shit Oh god, they already talked with her mouthful and has already managed to get icing on her face I turned the cupcake around my fingers looking for the best angle to take a bite. Natsuki is quiet I can't help but notice her sneaking glances my dishy. I Think she's looking to see how you look like icing Oh, she may have spiked it very both very good possibilities She waiting for me to take a bite. I finally bite down the icing is sweet and full of flavor I wonder if she made it herself. This is really good. Thank you. Natsuki Why are you thinking me? It's not like I have I heard this somewhere before wait Made them for you or anything Yeah, I thought you technically did say reset Well, maybe but not for you. You know dummy. That's mean. I think she may I think I think she may want you Pitiful bulls maybe maybe she's a little bit flustered. That's possible I give up on Natsuki's weird logic and dismissed the conversation Yuri returns the table carrying a tea set she carefully places a tea cup in front of each of us before setting down the teapot next to the tea Cupcake tray. You keep a whole tea set in this classroom. Don't worry. The teacher gave us permission After all it doesn't like hot cup of tea. Help you enjoy a good book. I guess Don't waste of the intimidated Yuri. She's trying to impress you. Oh Oh a possible loving so you don't do them. Let me do Sayori and Monica. Okay, okay I meant that you know, I believe you while teen reading might not be a pass. I'm free, but at least I enjoy tea I'm glad you're a family smiles to herself in relief. Monica raises an eyebrow and smiles at me So what made you consider the literature club? I was basically dragged into this drug into that were you? Yes, um Is this how you picture her talking? Yeah, I Was afraid of the personality Something tells me I shouldn't tell Monica that I was practically dragged here by set look at what I what I'm already predicting it I haven't 20 clubs in serious seemed really happy here. So That's okay. Don't be embarrassed We'll make sure you feel right at home Okay Monica, I don't like the vibes from you As president of the literature club, it's my duty to make the club fun and exciting for everyone Monica, I'm surprised. How come you decided to start your own club? You could probably be a board member for any of the major clubs. Were you a leader of the debate club last year? Well, you know To be honest, I can't stand all the politics around major clubs It feels like nothing but arguing about the budget and publicity and how to prepare for events I'd much rather take something. I personally enjoyed it makes something special out of it That's fair And if it encourages others to get into literature, then I'm fulfilling that dream very respectable Monica Monica really is a great leader Yuri also nods in agreement But I'm surprised there aren't more people in the club yet. It must be hard to start a new club Oh, you could put it that way. Yeah, it's a club with a bunch of girls drinking tea reading books Like there would probably be like a dozen guys like trying to get in Not many people are very interested in putting out all the efforts of starting something brand new Especially when it's something that doesn't grab your attention like literature You have it you have to work hard to convince people that you're both fun and worthwhile It's like in some of the subject to a YouTube channel It put a make school events like the festival that much more important I'm confident that we can really grow this lit this club before we graduate Right everyone Yeah, we'll do our best, you know it everyone enthusiastically agrees such different girls all interested in the same goal Monica must have really worked hard to just to find these three Maybe that's why they were also delighted by the idea of a new member joining especially mr. Worldwide himself That's so I still don't really know if I can keep up with their level of enthusiasm about literature So pitbull what kind of things do you like to read? Well It's during how little I've read these past few years. I don't have a good way of answering that manga. I'm not like I'm gonna go wait. Do you actually not know? No Manga's like like the book like like anime, but like the books Like that so all of them just cost part is manga. Yeah, well not comic books But it's like book version of like anime. It's what comes before the anime is actually adapted off the manga So like yeah, the history we're learning history exactly exactly I'm gonna quietly myself half joking Not super his head suddenly perks up. It's like she wants to say something, but she keeps quiet Not much of a reader. I guess yeah, cuz manga like isn't really like literature. It's kind of his own thing Well, that can change. What am I saying? I spoke without thinking after seeing Yuri's sad smile because she's so ooloo. Anyway, what about you Yuri? Well, let's see you retraces a trim of her teacup with their finger My favorites are usually novels that build deep and complex fantasy worlds level of creativity and craftsmanship behind them Is amazing to me telling a good story such a foreign world is equally impressive Here he goes on clearly passionate about her reading She seems so reserved and timid since the moment I walked in but it's obvious by the way her eyes light up So she finds comfort in the world of books not people But you know, I like a lot of things. Oh Oh, baby. She wants it stories with deep psychological elements usually immerse me as well It's an amazing how a writer can so deliberately take advantage of your own lack of imagination completely throw you for a loop Anyway, I've been reading a lot of horror lately. Ah, I read a horror book once once It's like good like I read goose bumps one time. I just loose bumps in every book fair Yeah, for real. I just really grasped something I can relate to at a minimal level at this rate Yuri might as well be having conversation with a rock Really, I wouldn't have expected that Yuri For someone as gentle as you I Guess you can say that But if a story makes me think or takes me to another world And I really can't put it down surreal horror is often very successful at changing the way you look at the world If only for a brief moment Oh, I hate horror. Oh, why is that? Well, I just not suki's eyes start over to me for a split second. Never mind What's her problem with me dog? Yeah, she's the bitch. That's right That's why I usually like to write about cute things. Don't you not so cute? What what what gives you that idea? Oh Am I making a mess in front of this brajo? You left a piece of scrap paper behind last club meeting It looks like you were working on a poem called Don't say it out loud and give that back Fine. Oh, she's like secretly like a softy inside and she's just yeah. Yeah, she has a hard shell Your cupcakes your pie thought this a penis for a second your poems Everything you do is just as cute as you are. I mean, they're both kind of small Wait Sarah's Psydles Psydles up behind that suit kid puts her hands on her shoulders I'm not cute. That's suki. You write your own poems and why oh, I guess sometime. Why do you care? I think that's impressive. Why don't you share them sometime? No, that's who gave her two eyes You wouldn't like them. Ah, not a very confident writer. Yeah, you're right. I Understand on that suki feels sharing that level of writing tastes more than just confidence What should be like erotica or something like a really really weird the truth's form of writing is writing to oneself You must be willing to open up to your readers exposing your vulnerabilities showing even the deepest reaches of your heart Do you have writing experience to Yuri? Maybe if you share some of your work, you can set an example of helping the suki feel comfortable enough to share hers Dot dot dot. I guess it's the same for Yuri. Oh I wanted to read everyone's poems. We all sit in silence for a moment Okay, I Have an idea everyone Not in Yuri. Not suki and Yuri look quizzically a monica Let's all go home and write a poem of all Then next time we meet we'll all share them with each other Everyone is even I have to open my heart if I write a poem. That's it. Um Dot dot dot. Oh, I forgot how you write the poems. Yeah, let's do it Plus now that we have a new net a new member I think go help us all get a little more deck comfortable with each other Isn't that right pit bull? Like a smile is warmly at me once again. Hold on. There's still one problem now. We're back to the original top of me joining Club, I've only come forward was been on my mind the entire time I never said I would join this club dude. It's too late at this point Yeah, like all obviously those three want you to join the club I'm sick. Heck not suki. So we might have convinced me to stop by but I've never made any decision I still have other clubs look at and um, I lose my train of thought. Oh, wait. They all just instantly All four girls throw back me with dejected eyes She looks so sad. I'm sorry. I thought There's a worldwide you all I'm just picturing people in a The black glasses just The entire time yeah, I'm picturing him. I'm defenseless against these girls How am I supposed to make a clear-headed decision when it's like this? That is if writing poems surprising to pay in order to spend every day with these beautiful girls, right, okay? I've decided then I'll join the left. Then why are you taking so long to consider it the first time? Oh Yeah, oh wait, sorry. Yes. I'm so happy Sorry raps are arms around me jumping up and down. Okay. All right Hey, you really did scare me for a moment if you really just came for my cupcakes. I'd be super pissed Then that makes it official. I mean technically we did come just for the cupcakes Welcome to the literature club. I mean it was in here See No, Fox. That's rolling in. Yeah, I'm wondering what we've gotten ourselves into here. Ah, thanks. I guess Okay, everyone I Think with that we can officially end today's meeting on a good note Everyone remember tonight's assignment Write a poem to bring to the next meeting so we can all share. All right monica looks over at me once more Oh Little I look forward to seeing how you express yourself. Oh, we're gonna write a song Yeah Can I really impress the class our mark with my mediocre writing skills? I already feel the anxiety blowing up inside me meanwhile the girls continue to chitchat is Yuri Natsuki clean up their food Hey, people since you're already here. Do you want to walk home together? I just keep doing pit bull. That's right. Sorry, and I never walk home together anymore because she always stayed after school for clubs Sure might as well Yeah, but are you sure you want to use your Rolls Royce? With that the two of us to part the club room make our way No, this is actually this is pit bulls like this is his origin story That's it. This is before the VH one behind the music when he had like full head of hair and everything That's it. He had an afro Sorry, that's okay Yuri and of course Monica. Why'd you really be happy spending every day after school in a literature club? I think it'll be okay. I was off the chance to go closer to one of these girls Alright, I'll just need to make the most of my circumstances, and I'm sure good fortune will find me I guess I start writing a poem tonight. Okay, Jack. Okay. Here we go Jack Pick those so literally so we're gonna pick words Jack that Literally, it's not us writing a poem. It's just literally picking words. Yeah, it's just like what were you filming the blanks? Not at all not at all so me so like for example like puppy or whatever like hopefully Whatever words you pick Jack, whatever like we'll just see who likes us the most Okay, so I say we go for Yuri You know me Jack when I did this the first time I picked massacre blood So so you and me will pick this time. Okay. I said we picked the most like passive words like puppy, okay Melancholy Hair I like graveyard graveyards a little a little dark and she is kind of oh she just smiled she smiled you see you see okay, um Infinite she had like paper.

She likes the more like intense, you know, so like I guess the more you're like relating to one And they lost firefly Insight she liked whisper Philosophy definitely Yuri Vanilla vanilla no No, not not suki not not suki Eternity definitely So I already ain't getting shit.

Oh, I think we I think we're gonna get more More for you good. Hi What you walking over my fucking toes? Apologize stepping on my toes glad to see you didn't run away on us No, don't worry. This might be a little strange room, but at least I keep my word Well, I'm back at the literature club. I was the last to come in so everyone else is already hanging out I guess we're keeping your promise pitbull I hope this isn't too overwhelming of a commitment for you making you dive head first the literature when you're not accustomed to it Oh, come on like he deserves any slack Sarah's told me you don't didn't even want to join any clubs this year and last year too I know if you plan to come here and hang out or what well, I probably kind of want to hang out But what a rat the rat She's a rat. It's like are we telling role then? Oh, yeah, I know but if you don't take us seriously Then you want well, that's good. They gossip girls gossip. Yeah gossip Not soupy you certainly have a bad. You certainly have a big mouth for someone who keeps her manga collection in the club Next week he finds it's just like between Monica and manga manga is the literature. Oh That's the debate swiftly defeated. That's who he pops back into receipt Don't worry guys That bull always gives it his best as long as he has I feel like say or he could get like stabbed in the chest And she'd be like, you know what this isn't that bad hmm Wait, did I just like a lude to something? Let's continue. Okay? Don't go for it. Oh, he helps me with this with busy work without even asking Like cooking cleaning my room. What? How dependable? Zary that's because your room is so messy is distracting. You almost set your house on fire once It's that so You two are really good friends, aren't you? I might be a little jealous. Oh How come you and people can become good friends, too. Oh friends turbo. I think so plays with hair. Um Siri As usual series but seems oblivious to the weird situation. She just put me into oh Oh, yeah, I even brought you something today. You know Well, wait, Siri and me. I'm not really Don't be shy. It's really nothing. What is it? Never mind. Sari may sound like it's a big deal when it's not What do I do? I'm sorry, Yuri. I was thinking I Guess that means it's up to me to rescue the situation. Hey, don't worry about it First of all, I wasn't expecting anything in the first place So any nice gesture for you is a pleasant surprise People knows this way and knows his way to talk to someone. It'll make me happy no matter what it is that so Yeah, I won't make it a big deal if you don't want it to be. All right. Well here Bag and pulls out a book. Oh a book. Oh It's a short read so I should keep your attention if you don't usually read and we could you know discuss it if you want to That this is how's this girl actually being so Accidentally being so cute. She picked out a book. She thinks I'll like just find me not reading much. Yuri Thank you. I'll definitely read this. I enthusiastically take the book Phew. Well, you can read at your own pace. I look forward to hearing what you think. Do I not can see what book it is? Yeah, I think you'll only be able to okay I expected Monica to kick off some schedule activities for the club But it doesn't seem to case Siri Monica are having a shoot conference This is just like a social club. That's it Is already buried in the book can't open those are intense expression like she's waiting for this chance Meanwhile Natsuki is rummaging around in the closet. Oh Oh I'm really curious to talk to Yuri a bit more but at the same time I feel bad for distracting her from reading I catch a glimpse to cover a book. This is the same book that she lent me more than that She seems to be on the first year. Oh I see what she's pulling Crap, I think she knows me looking at her She sneaks another glance at me and our eyes meet for a split second That only makes her hide her face deeper in her book. Sorry. I was just I could just picture a pimple standing across there I'm like, yeah, sorry. Sorry. Yeah, I was just spacing out just just like in the corner like oh, sorry I was uh spacing out Does he have the glasses at this point? I think so. Okay. I'm one of the sincere. I made her uncomfortable. Oh It's fine. If I was focused and I probably wouldn't have noticed in the first place I'm just rereading a bit of this. So that's the book you gave me, right? Mm-hmm I wanted to reread some of it not for any particularly reason. Just curious. How come you have two copies of the same book? Well when I saw the book story yesterday, that's not what I meant. I mean, I just happened to buy two of them I see There's something really obvious here that Yuri isn't telling me but I decided to let it go I'll definitely start reading it soon. I'm glad to hear once it starts pick up It might have a hard time putting it down very engaging relatable story. Is that so? What's it about anyway? Well, hmm Do you close the book scans their eyes over the back? She doesn't even know portrait of Markov There's an ominous looking eye symbol a front cover. All right I just want to make sure I don't don't actually give anything away Basically about this girl in high school moves in with her long lost younger sister as soon as she does so her life gets really strange She gets targeted by these people who escaped from a human experiment prison and while her life is in danger She's desperately choose who to trust no matter what she does She ends up destroying most of relationships and their life starts to fall apart. That's kind of it's kind of dark Isn't it? You may sound like it's going to be some nice stories to dark that so that dark turn came from not nowhere Aha, you're generally giggles all of a sudden. Are you not a fan of that sort of thing pitbull? Mr. Worldwide no, it's not that I mean I can definitely enjoy this kind of story. So don't worry. I hope so Yeah, I totally forgot that Yuri is into those things so shine or close on the outside But her mind seems to be completely different So are we talking to her because we had so many of the same or thing? Oh, well, I guess we haven't even read the poem yet No, it's just that those kind of stories They challenge you to look at life from a strange new perspective when horrible things happen Not just because someone wants to be evil but because they have their own goals or their own philosophy that they believe in It's suddenly when you thought you related to protagonists They're made out to be the naive one for letting their one-sided morals interfere with the villains plans. I'm I'm rambling aren't I not again I feel like I feel like we're foreshadowing a bit here. I'm sorry. Hey, don't apologize I don't lost interest or anything. Well, I guess it's all right then But I feel like I should let you know that I have this problem. I let things like books and writing fill my thoughts I'm sorry if I end up saying something strange. Please stop stop me if I start talking too much That's I don't I really don't think why does it seem like she's the only one in this club that even reads like the others They're just they're like hang out to make cupcakes and shove their faces with it. Yeah, exactly The least I can do is listen. It's a literature club after all. Ah, that's well That's true. In fact, I might as well get started reading it, right? You don't have to uh-huh What are you saying some oh my gosh, is you're looking for this is a literature Give me a book. I'm not gonna read it. I could retrieve the book that I put into my bag All right, it's fine if I sit here, right? I slip into the sea next to Yuri's ah Yeah, are you sure you seem a little apprehensive? That's I'm sorry. It's not that I don't want you to just something I'm not very used to that is reading in company with someone. I see let's tell me if I end up distracting you or anything All right, I'm in the book start the prologue soon I'm so many years talking about reading in company does if I can feel her presence over my shoulder as I read It's not particularly bad time bad thing if you're a little distracting, but the feeling is somewhat comforting Yuri is in the corner of my eye. I realize that she's not actually looking at her own book I glance over it looks like she's reading from my book instead. So sorry, Yuri. You're a mess. You're a mess She's sweating bullets. Yeah for real. I was just you're you really apologize a lot. Don't you I do I don't really mean to sorry. I mean, uh-huh Here this should work right I saw my desk up whoa Whoa, whoa, show that body language. Ah, I suppose so Yuri timidly closes her own copy Once we lean in a bit our shoulders are almost touching It was like my left arm is in the way so instead I use my right hand to hold the book open Ah, I guess that makes it kind of difficult to turn the page here The camera angle change Yuri takes your left arm and holds the left side of the book between her thumb and forefinger Ah, I do the same with thing with my right arm on the right side of the book Yeah The way it's her the page your size under the thumb out to the left side But in holding it like this we're hardly even closer together than before it's actually kind of distracting me It's as if I can feel the warmth of Yuri's face. She's in the corner of my vision Her her eye actually moved over. Are you ready? Yeah to turn the page. Oh, oh, yeah, sorry I think I got distracted for a second when it's over Yuri's facing in our eyes me I don't know how I'll be able to keep up with her. Ah, that's okay. You're not as used You're not as used to reading right? I don't mind being patient if it takes you a bit longer It's probably the least I can do since you've been patient with me. Yeah Thanks, we continue reading Yuri no longer asked me if I'm ready to turn the page instead I just assume that she finished the page for me. So I turn it by my own Volition we continue the first chapter in silence even so turning each page almost feels like an intimate exchange My thumb gently letting go of the page letting it flutter over to her side as she catches it under her own thumb Hey, Yuri, this might be a silly thought but the main character kind of reminds me of you a little bit You think so? How does she? Well, I guess she's a little more blunt in a lot of ways But she also second guess is all the things that she says and does like she's afraid she'll do something wrong It's not like I can see into your head or anything, but they're kind of reminiscent of some of your mannerism I I see You remain silent for a moment, but people that's probably a terrible thing to have in common with her That's so embarrassing that you think that what wait. I didn't mean it a bad way or you think pitbull pitbull Missed up man. Sorry. I really didn't know you were self-conscious about that sort of thing I guess I meant a Mormon that is kind of cute. Ah, what are you saying all of a sudden? I Okay, okay My I'm sorry, Monica. I forgot you were here. I'm gonna be honest You know, I'll kick you out of the fucking club in two seconds Okay, everyone I Think it's about time we share today's poem with each other. Oh We might not have enough time. We wait too long because Yuri was too busy fondling pitbull. Ah Three exhales spare from finishing her thought. Is that right Yuri? Oh, is that alright Yuri? You look kind of down I'm sorry if you haven't been looking forward to we're having a long time Monica. Oh, it's not it's fine Release her hand from the book cousin close on top of my thumb. All right. I guess I'll do some more reading I Just make sure like we made it like through like one page basically Which you prefer I only read it with you. Um, I guess I don't have too much of a preference either way Hmm in that case. I'll read a little more tonight And it'll be fun to read with you after picks up a bit, you know That's good reasoning in that case. Feel free to finish the first two chapters in your own time Alright, I stand up I make a mental know where I left off my book then slip it back into my bag bookmarks exist Pitbull By the way, did you remember to write a poem last night? Did I cuz I just remember picking like 20 very obscure words. I remember doing a word search Yeah, my relaxation ends. I can't believe I could do something so embarrassing I could really couldn't find much inspiration. So I've really never done this before well Everyone's ready. Why don't you find someone to share with? I can't Monica do see asking me pull out their poems series on wrinkled sheet of loose-leaf torn from a spiral notebook on the other hand Monica Roe hers in a composition notebook. I can already see Monica's pristine handwriting from where I sit Natsuki and Yuri reluctantly comply as well reaching into their bags. I did the same myself Okay, okay, I think we have to show it to Yuri first It was written for Yuri. Let's do it Since most experienced I should start with her. I thought Monica was the most experienced I could trust her opinion to be fair as Yuri's phone. I notice her eyes light Exceptional. Yeah, what was that? Did I say that out loud? Yuri first covers my business. I'm covering her whole face. Oh He's going to hate me. Um, you really don't then do anything wrong Yuri That's I guess you're right. What am I getting so nervous for? Yuri takes it takes a breath. So what kind of writing experience do you have the use of a map imagery and metaphors indicates You've written a lot of poetry before really. Wow. That's a huge compliment coming from you It's like my first time, huh? You're really serious. We blink when it looks at my poem again. Well, I know that I just meant Um, I'm only able to find an excuse to trace their finger along the words of the poem as if breaking it down more thoroughly Yeah, okay. This is the reason I was able to tell it's just like there are specific writing habits They're usually typical new writers and having been through that myself. I kind of wanted to pick up on them I think the most noticeable thing I recognize new writers that they try to make their style very deliberate In other words, they tend to pick a writing style separate from the topic matter and they form fit the two together The end result is that they book that both the style and expressiveness are weakened Once you refine some train of thoughts as if her demeanor totally changes her stammering is completely gone She sounds like an expert. Of course, that's not something you can be blamed for There's so many different skills techniques going writing even a simple poem not just finding them and building them But getting them to work together is probably the most challenging part It might take take you some time, but it all comes with practice and learning by example and trying new thing I also hope that everyone in the club gives you valuable feedback Natsuki's bias Never mind. I should be talking about people like that. Sorry. It's fine I'm sure if you're his apology to herself to me or Natsuki. Do you mind if I read your poem now? Please do. I'd love to share my thought process. Oh god. Do I want to read it? Yeah, so this okay So now Jack each poem has an underlining theme Okay, and towards the end we should kind of know what it is Okay ghost under the light the tendrils of my hair illuminate beneath the ember glow bathing. It must be this one The last remaining shoe I do have withstood the test of time the last yet to be replaced by the sickening blue green Hue of the future I bathe calm Breathe wait, I bathe calm breathing air of the present believing in the past the light flickers I flicker back Bro, you're you're not chill dude. I'm sorry. I have such terrible way. It was incursive. What do you mean terrible? I can't even do Carson. Can you not? No, I'm just like I feel like it's like outdated now. You know like it's 1920s Yeah, I wasn't thinking that at all, but it took you a long time to read. Ah, well I just don't read a script very often. I actually think your handwriting is pretty and that's a relief Also, I like the poem even though the short was very descriptive. It wasn't too short I usually write longer poems not at all. I'm really glad you like it. I'll be honest This is our first time sharing. I wanted to write something a little more mild. That's the mild. That was pretty intense Something he's digest. I suppose. Are you into ghost Siri? hoo-hoo Huh, actually the story is about a ghost at all pitbull really it's about the future. What do you mean pitbull? Poets express their thoughts feelings experience They usually do more than tell a simple story paint a picture in this case perhaps is only Symbolically compared to it goes lingering her last remaining place of comfort unable to let go of the past and soon to be left with nothing That's a little more solemn putting it that way. How do you thought of that? That's impressive, huh? It's nothing really yours was impressive, too So nah if anything I could probably learn a thing or two from you you think so yeah, of course Ah, you know I was really nervous about doing all this, but in the end I enjoyed it I'm going to keep doing my best for you pitbull mr. Worldwide. Ah me too All right, I think we should read Monica's next Monica seems like a okay. She seems a little uptight Even the way she stands with just both of her arms that all right Monica listen Monica having good time so far I was until you know you kind of broke up my whole my whole engagement with Yuri there. Oh, yeah Glad to hear it By the way, is this your new with everything? If you ever have any suggestions for the club like new activities of things we can do better I'm always I'm always listening Don't be afraid to bring things up. Okay. That's so very class presidential like all right. I'll keep that in mind Of course, I'll be afraid to bring things up. I'm much better off just knowing going with the phone told more settled in anyway Want to show you probably I haven't even read it. It's kind of embarrassing, but I guess I have to Don't worry pitbull little embarrassed But it's that sort of barrier that will learn to go get past soon Yeah, that's true. I hand Monica my poem That's my Mm-hmm Great job Pitbull you read that like one second dog I was going oh in my head while reading. Yeah, that's a that's descriptive. It's really metaphorical I'm not sure why but I didn't expect you to go with something so deep Oh because I'm I'm a world-renowned rapper. Is that why I guess I underestimated you It's easiest for me to keep everyone's expectations low that way it always counts when I put in some effort That's not very fair Well, I guess it worked anyway You know that you're you know that Yuri likes this kind of writing, right? I showed us who are first. No, we know we know Writing that's full of imagery and symbolism Unlike Sayori who likes using simple and direct words to describe happiness and sad Oh now it's on to know for next time happiness and sadness for Sayori Yuri takes it when Yuri likes it when readers are left to derive their own meaning out of it It's very challenging to write like that effectively But all the line people to get something out of it just by feel Letting them deeply analyze all the nuances It could take years of practice, which I'm assuming Yuri has at this point. I Never really asked though Oh I'm sure I'm nowhere near her level yet Don't worry so much about that You don't you do your own thing Just keep exploring and learn by trying new things. That's what it's about Monica. That's what life is about I'm sure I'll end up trying different things a lot Weird way to say that it could take a while before I feel comfortable doing this That's okay. I Love to see you try new things Monica. That's getting a bit a bit odd That's the best way to find the new the kind of style that suits you Everyone else might be a little bit biased towards their own kind of styles. That's okay I'll always help you find what suits you the most So don't force yourself to write the way everyone else wants you to write It's not like you have to worry about impressive memory anything Ah Anyway, do you want to read my poem now? Oh do I because Yuri's was a bit odd, so I don't I don't know what to expect from Monica's Don't worry. I'm not very good Okay, so I'm pretty confident if someone who claims not be very good Well, that's cuz I have to sound confident for social status That doesn't mean I always feel the way you know I see well, let's read it then Hole in wall It couldn't have been me see the direction to spark the spackle protrudes a noisy neighbor and angry boyfriend I'll never know I wasn't home. I appear inside for a clue. No, I can't see I real blind like a film left out in the sun Well, it's too late my retinas already scored for the permanent copy of the meaningless image It's just a little hole. It wasn't too bright It was too deep stretching forever into everything a hole of infinite choices I realized now that I wasn't looking in I was looking out and he on the other side was looking in my god So, what do you think? Why do you guys have these intense poems? It's very freeform if that's what you call it Sorry, I'm not really the right person to ask for feedback It's alright, it's okay. Yeah, that kind of style has gotten pretty popular nowadays That's it. That's it. That is a lot of poems have been putting emphasis on the timing between words and lines I just keep picturing her saying it like you When performed out loud, it can be really powerful Also inspiration behind this one like Edgar Allen Poe. I'm not sure if I know how to put it I guess you could say that I had some kind of epiphany recently It's been influencing my poems a bit an epiphany Something like that I'm kind of nervous to talk about deep stuff like that because it's kind of coming out come out strongly Maybe after everyone is better friends with each other. Oh, you'll show your deepest secrets anyway Here's Monica's writing From the day Sometimes when you wrote when you're writing a poem or a story your brain gets too fixated on a specific point If you try so hard to make it perfect, then you'll never make any progress Just force yourself to get something down in the paper and tidy it up a bit tidy it up later Another way to think about it is is this if you keep your pen in the same spot for too long You'll just get a big dark puddle of ink So just move your hand and go with the start writing whatever comes to mind That's my advice for today Thanks for listening because you have no choice. Yeah for real Need to leave that suki for last. Yeah, that's who you should be last. I don't like that suki What's up, sir This is a good poem people Are you sure it's your first time? Oh, well, of course It's not that good. Am I the kind of guy who would be writing poems in a spare time? I mean stereotypes, I guess you're right But that's why I'm impressed it impressed me well to be honest I was afraid that you wouldn't do it seriously Or that you wouldn't write one at all. I'm taking literature club very seriously, sir I'm really happy that you wrote one It just reminds me of how you really are part of the club now Not to mention the fact that I'm standing in front of you in the club room. Oh, well, of course I'm not really into it yet, but it doesn't mean I'll break my promise See It's like I said before people Deep down you're not selfish at all, you know Try new things like this for the people That's something that won't really that won't eat really good people Thanks, Sarah. I'm not sure if Sarah sees the full picture of my motive here Then again, I can't deny she's part of the reason I joined knowing how much this means to her and all And I'm gonna make sure you have lots of fun here, okay Okay That will be my way of thinking of thanking you All right, I'm gonna hold you to that then do I want to Now you'll read my poem too, right? Don't worry. I'm really bad at this Okay, hers is gonna be like really We'll see about that Dear sunshine the way you glow through the blinds in the morning It makes me feel like you miss me kissing my forehead I knew this was gonna be like really sensual Kissing my forehead to help me out of bed making me rub the sleepy from my eyes Are you asking me to come out and play? Are you trusting me trusting me to wish away a rainy day? I look above the sky is blue. It's a secret, but I trust you to it was a lesson for you I could sleep forever, but I'm not mad. I want breakfast. That was actually kind of cute Sayori this is just a guess, but did you wait until this morning to write this? It wasn't that bad. I Mean it was less interpretive than the others Just all day even we put in the time last night You can't answer just a little bit to a yes or no question I forgot to do it last night. What were you busy doing dog? At least it makes me my cat wait Just stone cold huh? It makes me feel a little bit better about myself Don't be mean you bitch. I Still try my best. Ah Yeah, just the New York accent with them. Oh, I didn't mean to say it was a bad poem It came out nice or how should I put it? It just sounds like being a dick to me being a dick really? Yeah, especially that last line I made exit toast Even though you were late to school It's bad to skip breakfast. It is bad to skip breakfast I get all cranky Well, I guess there's no point in arguing. Anyway, thanks for showing me This was so much fun Monica's the best Ah, yeah next time I won't oh You know what? It's okay. You know, I'm just gonna leave the club and I'm gonna write the best poem ever Well, I guess I look forward to it Well, we only have one person to pick left Not silk question mark Well, it's about what I expected from someone like you That's a little blunt. Well, excuse me. It's not like I said it was bad It just didn't evoke any emotions. So basically it's not cute enough for your taste. You want to get smacked? I mean Oh, I mean Psy well, anyway, I guess I need to show you mine not you'll like it Eagles can fly monkeys can climb crickets can leap horses can race owls can seek cheetahs can run Eagles can fly people can try but that's a bit. She had to ask this. This is trash. This is worse than Sayer is disgusting. Yeah, I told you you weren't gonna like it. I like it. What just to be honest I am why are you sick of this? I wouldn't like it. Well, because everyone in high school thinks that writing has to be also fiscated Well, I mean That required about two brain cells what you wrote not suki People don't even take my writing seriously But isn't the point of poems for people to express themselves your writing style wouldn't make wouldn't make your message any less valid Yes, exactly. I like when it's easy to read but it hits you hard like in this poem Seeing everyone around you do great things can be really disheartening. So I decided to write about it Yeah, I understand The other nice thing about simple writing is that it puts more weight on the wordplay Like I set up a rhyme for a rhyme at the end, but made it fall flat on purpose I mean See, that's what I hate about like interpretive stuff. It's like, yeah, this would make sense to do this But I did this instead just because It helps bring out the feeling in the last line. So you did I guess more went into it than I realized That's what meant to what means to be a pro. I'm glad you learned something Natsuki yours was the worst out of all of them, bitch didn't expect that from the youngest one here Did you I did actually yeah, I guess not I decided to humor her with the last comment I don't care how old everyone is a pen down a throat. Let's just step She's a child and the game right here. If Natsuki is feeling proud that I won't take it away from her Few I guess that's everyone I glanced around the room. I was a little more stressful than I anticipated This is if everyone's judging me for my read mediocre writing abilities Even though this being nice is no way my poems can stand up to theirs. This is a literature club after all I sigh. I guess that's why I ended up getting myself into across the room. Sarah and monica are happily chatting My eyes land on Yuri and Natsuki It gingerly exchanged sheets of paper sharing the respect of poems as they read in tandem I watched each other expression change Natsuki's eyebrows furrow in frustration. Meanwhile Yuri smiles sadly What's with this language? Did you say something? Oh, it's nothing Natsuki. Natsuki misally returns the Well, do the dance with one hand. I guess you could say it's fancy. Ah, thanks. Yours is cute Wow, she called it kid. That's like that's like girl talk for calling it like just that's like saying like Like I didn't think you were gonna wear yellow today Like that's that's cute. That's an interesting choice. Did you completely miss the symbolism? It's really about the feeling of giving up. How can that be cute? I I know that I just meant the language. I guess I was trying to say something nice Eh, you mean that you have to try that hard to come up with something nice to say Thanks, but it really didn't come out nice at all. Um, why do I have a couple suggestions? I'm so glad I'm not a girl because I feel like this is how interactions go like they're very like If I was looking for suggestions I would have asked someone who actually liked it which people did by the way Sarah liked it and people did too. I mean I gotta be nice So based on that, I'm glad to give you suggestions of my own. First of all, excuse me I appreciate the offer, but I spent a long time establishing my writing style I don't expect it to change anytime soon unless of course I come across something particularly inspiring which I haven't yet And people like my poem too, you know even told me he was impressed by it I like how they're like at first she was like tragic right now She's using me like to build herself up as you suddenly stands up Oh, I didn't realize you're so invested in trying to impress our new member Yuri Eh, that's not what I uh You're just Yuri stands up as well Maybe you're just jealous that people appreciates my advice more than you appreciate yours Huh, and how did you know he didn't appreciate my advice more? Are you that full of yourself? I know if I was full of myself, I would deliberately go out of my way to make everything I do overly cutesy Well, you know what I wasn't the one who's booms magically grew size bigger as soon as people started showing up Whoa, wow. All right, it's hot. It's hot. Whoa It's hot. It's very hot. That was mean Natsuki I'm not suki. That's a little This doesn't involve you monica Suddenly both girls turned towards me as if they just noticed I was standing there Pimple she's just trying to make me look bad. That's not true She started it if she could get over something we're gonna appreciate that simple writing is more effective Then this wouldn't have happened in the first place What's the point in making your poems all convoluted for no reason? The meaning should jump out to the reader not force them to have to figure it out Help me explain that to her pit bull. But wait, there's a reason we have so many deep and expressive words in our language It's the only way to convey complex feelings and meaning the most effectively avoiding them is not only necessarily limiting yourself It's also why would I take that suki's side of this? She's so mean to me You understand that right pit bull um well I could drive this in the first place. It's not like I know anything about writing. Yeah, I'm just like I'm the one that just read Goosebumps one time. I just needed this for a credit to graduate. I don't need to be here I was just for my resume whoever I grew up. They'll probably think up more highly of me. Oh 100% yuri. I I don't want to help from seiri Natsuki you're right that I liked your poem see wait That's not excuse for you to be so mean you shouldn't pick a fight just because someone's opinion is different That's not what happened at all yuri wouldn't even take my poem seriously Hmm. I understand yuri. Eh. You're a seriously talented writer. It's no secret. I was impressed. Well, that's but here's the thing No matter how simple or fine someone's writing style is you're still putting feelings into it and become something really personal That's why natsuki felt threatened when you why am I taking both sides? I see I didn't notice that I I'm sorry But natsuki you took it way too far yuri means well And if you just told her how you felt then this wouldn't have happened in the first place Wow, I'm really really put it in their place. Are you kidding? That's exactly what I did It was her that that's oh natsuki. I think that's enough You both said some things that you didn't mean I just picture monica on the corner with like a shadow on her face like natsuki They're talking about fucking yuri's tits. Look at monica's Yuri apologize. Don't you think you should too? That's suki clenches her fists and he had nobody has taken her side. She's trapped. Hit me hit me right here Natsuki I end up feeling bad for her Sometimes when I'm hurt It helps to take a look and clear my head Sorry, she doesn't need to you know what I'm gonna do that It'll spare me from I'm gonna look at all your faces right now without warning Natsuki snatches her own poem up from the desk and storms out on her way out She crumbles up the poem with her hands with those in the trash. Oh, I kind of feel bad now in a way She's so young, you know Natsuki She really didn't need to do that I look across the room yuri is her chin buried in her hands while she stares down at the desk I essentially approach her and sit in an adjacent chair sigh Everything all right. I'm so embarrassed. I can't believe I acted like that. You probably hate me now No, yuri. How could anyone that have not gotten frustrated at being treated like that? You handle it as well as anyone could I don't think any less of you. Well, all right I believe you thanks people you're too kind just like that, huh? I'm thankful to have you a part of this club now It's nothing one more thing. Um that one thing that suki said about you know, I would never do anything so shameful So, uh, what thing didn't that suki say? Um, we'll never mind that I'm gonna make some tea. Ah, good idea make it up for more than one person. Okay. Yeah Just about time for us to get the fuck out of here How did you all feel about sharing poems? This was the worst experience of my life It was a lot of fun. Of course you think that's sari Well, I'd say it was worth it It was all right. Well, mostly wait. She's still here. I thought she left. All right. That was a quick ass walk. Yeah People how about you? Yeah, I'd say the same. It was a neat thing to talk with everyone awesome That was me. That was not awesome And in that case we'll do the same thing tomorrow. I think that's an awful idea, monica And maybe you learn something from your friends too So your poems will turn out even better Dot dot dot, I think to myself I did learn a little bit more about the kinds of poems everyone likes with any luck That means I can do at least a little bit better job impressing those that I want to impress I nod myself with newfound determination Pippo This is what why ready to walk home. Sure. Let's go Sari beams at me. Julia's been a while since sari has spent this much time together. I can't always say I'm not enjoying it either Here we go Sari about what happened earlier. Eh What do you mean? You know between Yuri and Natsuki does that kind of thing happen often? No, no, no That's really the first time I see them fight like that when that cock-a-balls come to the room It just goes crazy. I do not believe that. I promise they're both wonderful people You don't you don't hate them. Do you this is so true? I like I feel like this is how some people are they're just like Do you hate me? Yeah, no, this is based on true story. No, I don't hate them. I just wanted your opinion. That's all I can see why they make good friends with you You know pippo. I love your music. It's nice that I get to spend time with you in the clubs But I think seeing you get along with everyone what makes me the happy she's so wholesome And I think everyone really likes you and your balls too That's Every day is going to be so much fun. Do people think today was fun? Si it looks like sari's still in common the kind of situation I'm in sure being friends with everyone It's nice, but that's what we need to stop there Well, I'll just see how the future what the future holds sari. I pat sari on the shoulder I said that more to myself than to her But it's the easy use sari is an intentional internal monologue sometimes Yeah, let's do this.
