Emma was sitting at her desk, grading papers. She sensed Minato's approach well before he knocked, but waited for him to come to her.

"Come in," she called. She moved the papers to the side and fixed a warm smile to her face.

Minato took off his headphones, turned off his music and entered the office, smiling at Emma politely. "Good evening. Thank you for seeing me on such short notice," he greeted, nervousness making his accent clip his words more than they usually did. He closed the door behind him and stood before his teacher's desk, wondering what he should do.

She beamed. Not every student was so polite.

"Good evening, Minato. Make yourself comfortable," she waved towards a squishy white chair she had especially for such occasions. "Why don't you start off by telling me what's wrong."

She knew, of course, but she wanted to hear it from him. It'd be good for him to get it off his chest.

Minato sat down in the chair. "Thank you," he replied. He hesitated, staring into the floor for a few moments. He didn't want to do this, but he had to. I can't run away, he thought. I won't run away. He looked back up at Emma, took a deep breath, and explained what had happened. He told her how, in the class, Sasuke had met his eyes and collapsed. The other boy's explanations hadn't helped with Minato's own confusion (or perhaps it had been his own numb sense of disbelief), and Logan had... not helped much, either. Well, he'd probably tried, in his own sort of way.

"... And that's all I know," Minato finished, his eyes once again lowered. Would he be thrown out?
