Bara, emo is short for emotional, right? But isn't emotional associated with a variety of feelings and thoughts? So why does the word ‘emo’ always have a connotation of sadness or drama?

The word evolved into so, basically. If you were to go into a more in-depth reason, it's probably because it was used repeatedly to define that attitude and/or kind of person.

Or, you could at least say that the internets did it. :|

Hey, Sora? May I ask you something?

It's about Hisaki. She isn't faking it... being happy, I mean. There are people that actually are cheerful all the time, or at least try to be. Those people that try to be happy? They're stronger than most people.

In other words, I'd like you to apologize to Hisaki... Or at least don't do that kind of thing again, please.

Ignoring the last sentence, I'll take your word for everything else you said.

No.

Seems like you're plenty emotional.

I mean... you've basically assaulted a girl just because she came around the time of bad news.

"Emo" probably refers more to the "I have these deep FEELINGS~~~~" image. Which... usually, refers to being sad and angry.

You know, acting like a whiny teen.

Hm? Girl? What girl?

Thanks a bunch for pointing out my flaws, Erland.

New girl. The airhead. Annoying, granted, but no real reason to vent on her.

Sometimes you need a smack upside the head when you're acting out. You're better than this, Sora.

No, I'm not. I have human emotions after all. I also happen to have very good memories.
