"Do you know what I'm thinking right now?"
He idly wondered what he'd done to receive this cruel torture but decided to humor her anyways. After all, she wasn't even going to last a week with him. All he had to do was brush up on some knowledge and then she'd be out of his hair.
"No."
"Well that's cause you infer what I'm thinking or feeling and you don't know for sure. Remember all received messages have a consequence so be careful of your first impression." She stressed the last two words as though rebuking him. "Oh and remember communicators are self-reflexive."
"Reflexive?"
"Yes, they always think of themselves." He wanted to scoff at the arrogance in that claim but resisted. This Higurashi woman was smarter than he thought. Maybe, he'd stick it out for a day or two- after all she'd managed to help his erstwhile parents.
