[Naoto watches with a small frown on her face. she... understands, she thinks. A little.]

What purpose does that serve?

[action]

[tarotcards]

I guess to understand how the text should be read, since it can be easily misinterpreted.

[ Well... at least Souji thinks so. ]

[crimsondirge]

I've never found text very easy to misinterpret. It's very straightforward in most cases that I've seen.
