[Objectively, the school kept Marion's best interests in mind as she grew less physically capable and more prone to bouts of immature behavior. But of course it was easy for her to simply see being treated any differently as being looked down on. And she'd had quite an ego before she started growing younger, so now every little tease from other students or that "for your own good" tone the adults tended to take set her off very easily.
Kayama Nemuri seemed different, though. Marion had grown kind of fond of the teacher lately... which really only meant she didn't have the same kind of outbursts with her as with other teachers. So there was no rude snapping back or haughty overcompensation for her less than imposing physical presence this time. She took the simple pleasantry exactly as presented, not reading any condescension into it at all.]
I guess. They said I should start going home earlier, anyway.
[She, of course, still grumbled constantly about the condescension she read into everything else.
But once she was done with her complaint, she frowned curiously.]
omg I'm so late getting back to this... >_<

Wait... you were looking for me?
