[If Valarie can pull his attention away from the riveting depictions of ocular glands for a few seconds, he might notice another person casually standing by and reading the stacked titles on the table. Komaeda has a great interest in reading, but not right now. He's more interested in the person holding the books. This guy looks like he can also appreciate a nice, dry tome... and, well, Komaeda just wants to talk to someone, now that he's in a place where everyone doesn't uncomfortably skittle out of any room he enters.]
