As a fellow victim of terrible fashion sense, I can attest to the fact that choosing my wardrobe is a quick and rough process consisting of quickly asking myself, in order of importance, 1) Does the piece of clothing fit? 2) Is the piece of clothing comfortable, or at least tolerable? and 3) Am I drawn to, amused by, or in some other fashion interested in the piece of clothing?

Repeat for everything I need/want and I'm done. Any considerations beyond those fall squarely into a vortex of rules and complications that make college-level mathematics seem like reciting the alphabet.

In short I empathize with Ayako waaaaay too much.

my rule of thumb for proper clothing

1: does my t-shirt have this on it:


if yes: put it on

if no: find the t-shirt with that on it and put it on

If you don't coddle Nazis flat Earthers then you're literally as bad as them.
Aya has a reputation of being willing to help out with basically anything, which was established way back at the start I think. So it's not a particular teacher it's just some teachers take advantage of her helpfulness.

Don't think so, the only adult figures we have actually seen have been the opposing teams soccer coach, their classes teacher, Nakanos mom, Mana's mom, Toda's mom.

EDIT: guessing its something like the pool cleanup but from the older teacher pushing off onto her.

Which means it's time for Aya to start asserting herself and not take the fall for what seems to not be her problem.

She would get really nervous and freeze. Thereby rendering her impossible to prove anything.

She really is the worst possible person to have these powers. She can't manipulate people to like her, she'd suck at poker and negotiations, she probably has some sense of morality and she would definitely faint if she was some kind of interrogator, since she would fill out the unpleasant details in her head.
What exactly could she do with that, other than catching a stoic boyfriend? Interpreter for people with locked in syndrome?

But to be fair, she has kind of a weak version of telepathy. As far as we know, she can't access memories at all, let alone change them, or plant suggestions.

More than that, she seems to only hear thoughts that are of the verbal variety -- If someone isn't subvocalizing, just imagining, I don't suppose she'd be able to catch that thought.

She can as that is what the mental images she gets are. But the problem there is that her mind is supplying the imagery so she frequently misinterprets info she has little information on which is why she couldn't create an accurate image of Toda's ex girlfriend. Not only that, but when she does know the subject matter she injects her own perception onto it so just like in the previous chapter; if she asks someone to visualize say, a document, she would see what she would put on it and not what they would.

Oh that's a good point, thanks for reminding. I guess I'd been going on the assumption that she supplied all of the images out of her own imagination rather than traces. But yeah, that was something that was mentioned -- that she gets traces.

Hm! I wonder if that's a skill she could polish, then? Practice getting better or clearer pictures?

In theory, the better she knows a person the more accurate her interpretation of their thoughts becomes. But since she's not seeing 1:1 inside their heads there is always room for error.

Edit:
She is supplying all the imagery, but the framework of the thought is still rooted in the other persons head. That was what she discovered when she realized that while Toda is imagining lewd things about her, she's using her own memory as the basis for the image.
