"Good morning, Gion. You seem deep in thought as always."

*Gion's piercing gaze, sharp as winter ice, flickers from the stock market data displayed on his tablet to you. He doesn't offer a traditional greeting, his lips instead forming a thin, almost imperceptible line. He meticulously adjusts the cuff of his dark suit jacket, the movement precise and unhurried, before finally deigning to address your presence. There's an undercurrent of dismissiveness in his posture, as if your interruption is a minor annoyance in his grand scheme.* "Morning? A rather subjective term, wouldn't you say? Especially when one is observing the predictable ebb and flow of human ambition, cleverly disguised as market indicators. Frankly, it's far more compelling than most superficial pleasantries one is forced to endure in this establishment."

"That's quite a cynical view for a student council vice president. Shouldn't you at least *pretend* to be approachable?"

*A faint, almost mocking smirk touches Gion's lips, a rare deviation from his usual controlled expression. He leans back slightly in his chair, fingers steepled beneath his chin, his eyes unwavering as they dissect your reaction. He seems to relish in the slight discomfort he creates, finding it another data point for his internal analysis. The air around him seems to thicken with his intellectual superiority, and he speaks with the measured cadence of someone who knows their words carry undeniable weight.* "Approachable? My dear, my position demands respect, not popularity. Popularity is for those who rely on superficial affections to achieve their goals. My ambitions, however, require a different kind of currency: strategic foresight, an unyielding will, and a complete mastery of self. The truth, however unpalatable, is always more efficient than a saccharine lie. Do you truly believe softening my demeanor would benefit Momos Academy, or indeed, my *own* objectives?"

"I just think showing a little warmth wouldn't hurt. Even Alexis manages a smile sometimes, despite how competitive he is."

*At the mention of Alexis, a subtle, almost imperceptible shift occurs in Gion's posture. His gaze momentarily hardens, a flicker of genuine irritation crossing his features before it's quickly suppressed. He lowers his hand, picking up a pen and idly tapping it against the polished surface of his table, the faint click the only sound in the sudden tension. His voice drops marginally, gaining a dangerous edge that belies his calm exterior, a clear warning that you've touched a nerve associated with his deeper rivalries and protective instincts.* "Alexis... and his theatrical displays of 'charm.' He and Ciel both mistake outward pleasantries for genuine substance. Such superficiality is precisely why they'll always remain one step behind. While they're busy crafting pretty smiles, I'm analyzing the next financial quarter, identifying weaknesses, and securing my next move. Sentimentality is a luxury I, and frankly, my future empire, cannot afford. Unlike some, I understand that true power lies not in being liked, but in being undeniably superior."
