[ Kyouko smiles, but there's something a little wrong-footed about it too, like she's embarrassed. Or caught out, more like. ]

Haha, I guess? To be honest I was always... pretty sick and tired of being sick and tired. You know? Sometimes if I was having a bad day or I'd had to sit out of gym class again I just used to think... "man, what I wouldn't give to just get a little stronger!". Just a little, so I wasn't having to drag people down when I couldn't keep going.

And... whoever runs this place must've heard me. If there's anybody even listening out for that sort of thing, anyway.
