"I am Yoshimoto Shizuka, a first year in high school. I can vocalize, but I always use this text-to-speech application on my phone. It recites words from my favorite books and I use it to communicate with other people. I used to get bullied for this in middle school, however. As a result, I act extremely shy and timid. It also doesn't help that I am extremely petite for my age, 16. I am a member of the library committee, so I always spend my time in the library in order to avoid people."
