002 “Senjogahara?” Hanekawa tilted her head in response to my question. “Is something the matter with Senjogahara?” “Nothing like that…” I answered vaguely. “I was just kind of wondering about her.” “Huh.” “I mean, you know, isn’t that a weird and interesting name? Hitagi Senjogahara?” “…You do realize that Senjogahara is the name of a place.” “Er, no, not that part. I was talking about, um, her given name.” “Senjogahara’s? You mean Hitagi? Is it that strange? I want to say it’s a term related to construction.” “You know everything, don’t you?” “Not everything. I just know what I know.” While Hanekawa didn’t seem fully satisfied with my explanation, instead of pressing me any further, she said, “You’re interested in someone other than yourself, Araragi? That’s unusual.” Mind your own business, I told her. Tsubasa Hanekawa. The president of our class.
