'Irie Shouichi's Crush is…'
He's seen here around Namimori, Namimori's a city but it's small enough that people still function on a small town mentality. Everyone is interested in everyone else's business, except for those people who function in a sort of blissful ignorance. Shouichi's mother wavers between the two managing to ignore the truth of Namimori while still enjoying sticking her nose in everyone's lives.
Shouichi attends an all boys school. It's one of those smart prep elevator schools, the kind of place that assures you success for the rest of your life. It's rather boring, all things being equal. Shouichi is smart, he does well in class, and maybe it's the mediocre existence of his life that makes the whole 'baby that drinks beer and shoots people and women with poisoned food and bombs' so traumatizing.
He likes to watch her. Not in a creepy way, it's just that some days on Shouichi's way home he sees her. She likes to walk on the top of the wall, sometimes, other's she skips down the street with her skirt flouncing around her. Sometimes she has a friend with her, a blonde girl in a Namimori high uniform or girls from her private girl's school.
She's smart. Shouichi knows that. He knows she's smart because of the school she goes to and sometimes he hears her talk to her friends about math or science or literature. He's seen her at the library too, her arms piled high with books and her hair pulled on top of her head in that cute little ponytail.
He doesn't even know her name.
'…the ponytail girl from Midori middle school.'
