(Historical Notes: Honestly, my embarrassment was only half due to mortification over being awkward.  The other half was shame over how much I’d hate having some rando do this to ME.  What, you think that I go to anime conventions because I want to MEET people?  EEEeewww, no way! …unless you’re a reader of this comic, in which case totally come over and say hi!  I totally want to get to know you and make you feel comfortable enough to become a patron!)
