...The way people care about me is quite interesting. I'm not really a fan of sweets.

( so would he call that them caring or mocking? either way, he's put in a position where he can't do anything with these cookies aside from hand them off to natsume. )

But... I didn't know you were interested in them.

( cookies that is, and when komaeda thought he had an idea on how natsume's tastebuds worked. they didn't seem to far away, but he does have a type of bread that maybe he could share with him. )

Come now... are our peers that bad at studying, well... Tazuna-kun struggles a lot.

( he's following. )
