I did not write about it, but Nozomi is still here because Eli got her out of having to go to classes by saying she had to help a friend who had nearly died in the express train derailment some months ago and had just left the hospital. But she still has to go back. When she got leave from school, we planned to put off the meeting until Niko was a little better off. According to my parents, the hospital determined that what Niko did wasn't good for her but wasn't crippling, much moreso than her existing problems. It's possible even another week won't be enough to wheel to school safely and go to the Idol Research Club room, so the club will have to come to Niko, I think.

More money came from the kenritsu welfare fund and now any books or supplies Niko needs to start over as an ichinensei will be paid for, and so will a lunch stipend. And yes, money to pay a student to be a part-time tutor. It's our money in my mind, so I don't mind taking it.
