Because when I look at his tests, I don't understand how he came to the conclusions he did.
[ Read: Hishi cannot comprehend the minds of those less capable, and therefore cannot tutor.

... Still, I guess he's nice. He's always patient with me, even when I don't know what everyone else already seems to. And he helped me become friends with Riu... and sometimes, he pats me on the head, although I don't want to catch any stupid germs from him.
[ ... Wait— ]
What does my feelings about Kaiza have to do with my condition?
You know, this sounds real serious... I'm not even sure we're capable of handling this!
[ unlike hilda, alyssa is a little better at hiding her amusement, sealing her smile away behind a stony lineface. almost reminiscent of hishi when they first met her... ]
Maybe, but it doesn't have to be. Sometimes crushes are just... when you like someone a little more than usual. They can lead to love eventually. But you don't have to figure it all out at once.
[ love is a very big idea to jump into right away—hilda's entertained admirers but she's never been in love. ]

she chews her cheek to bite back a laugh as hishi spells out her crush for them, though the smile leaks into her words anyway. ]
I don't know—what's your verdict, Alyssa?

Why? Do you know what's happening to me?

My diagnosis is... [ she very seriously reaches out and boops hishi's nose ] you have a crush.
no subject
You're sooooo cute, Hishi!

A crush...? Are you saying this is... love?

[ puppy love... ]
You should let him know sometime. You know, once you've got things figured out.

[ well. more like hilda will. alyssa's more of a cheerleader. ]

[ Hishi's voice trails off, as she appears to think about this. Also, thanks Alyssa, her moms are the best.
Too bad about Alyssa's lack of combat ability, though. ]
