[But Gongenzaka's already talking again. Apparently, he's being honest, but it still always comes off as placating when someone tells him he has a chance to do well with academic pursuits, in any capacity. Toki's had too many years of failure to believe any of it. He'll just disappoint you, Gongenzaka. But until then, he'll fake enthusiasm for this.]
Okay, then~! It won't be a hard project~!
[And then Gongenzaka asks that and Toki goes straight for the truth before he can stop himself.]
I didn't think you'd want to help because it's a waste of your time to bother with me because you hate me and you think I'm stupid and I make all the wrong decisions that you point out every time we talk!
