"The other apprentices in the dojo also treated me like a slave, beating and scolding me at will when they were in a bad mood, and the Dojo Master ignored it completely."
"In order to live more easily, I was forced to learn to discern people's facial expressions and how to judge what emotion they were feeling from those changes."
"When I noticed the Dojo Master and apprentices were in a bad mood, I would try to stay away from them as much as possible."
"When I noticed they were in a good mood, I would try to approach them and flatter them, hoping to get some good food."

"So there's no need to doubt."
"I truly have the ability to conclude, just from noticing a few of your glances, that you intensely dislike Tachibana Aoto."
