Mihoshi looks over her older sister's body with a critical eye. She notices Misato's stiff movements, and how Misato's right arm is definitely broken and totally in an arm cast.
"Sister…" Mihoshi starts. "Your arm is broken, right?"
"Mn," Misato nods. "Ah, a lot of people signed my cast today."
"Yeah, that's all nice and stuff..." Mihoshi stops walking and holds her arm in front of Misato, "…but why are you walking with me to the dojo?" Mihoshi points to the kendo sword that is conspicuously present on Misato's back. "And why are you bringing your shinai!?"
"Huh? I know I haven't been coming that often, but the tournament's coming up. It's better to practice at the dojo, with an instructor, rather than at the school."
Mihoshi waves her hand. "No, no, you didn't answer the question."
"Huh?"
"Sister, your arm is broken. Why are you coming?"
"Aw, come on, it's the tournament! I can make do with only my left hand."
Mihoshi stares at Misato for a good 10 seconds. "Um. Okay… You're going to practice kendo… with only your left arm… while your right arm is in a cast. Okay then."
"Why not?" Misato starts walking again.
"Are you seriously going to do that?"
"Yeah, sure, why not?"
"Good luck with that."
"Thanks!"
"That was sarcasm."
"Oh."
Mihoshi looks over the signatures on Misato's cast. They're all sorts of different sizes. Hm. The signature sizes probably got smaller over time because of the decrease in the amount of free space available. So, by looking at the sizes of the signatures, Mihoshi can more or less figure out the order in which the signatures were added.
And of course, that Sasahara's name is huge and fancy and smack in the middle of the cast.
"So," Mihoshi grins, "how did it feel when you got Sasahara to sign your cast first?"
Misato's face turns bright red, and because it's difficult to hold a giant bazooka with only her left hand, it clatters onto the ground. "What!? How do you know about that!?"
I guessed correctly! Mihoshi chuckles evilly. "You sure did give him a lot of space for his name."
"What?... I… He… Uh…" Misato desperately tries to pick up the bazooka, but it's too heavy for only her left arm.
Mihoshi stares amusedly at her flustered older sister. Misato is just too obvious.
"Um… Ah… See…"
Mihoshi waves her hand dismissively. "Anyway, if he got a space, I want a space too. Where can I sign?"
"Oh, you just wanted to sign?" Misato takes a deep breath and calms herself. "Anywhere's fine. You want a pen?"
"Thanks." Mihoshi takes the pen and begins writing.
TMxSK OTP — Mihoshi
"Um… Mihoshi?" Misato reads over the writing. "What does 'OTP' mean?"
Mihoshi's grin widens to the extreme. She doesn't know what it means! Giggles escape her mouth. "Ah… hee hee… Don't worry about it. It's just something that I add to my signature. Y'know, for the personal touch."
Misato still looks wary. "But what does it mean?"
"It's a common English saying. 'Open… temporal… pentagon'. Yeah."
"Ah, I see." Misato nods, convinced.
