Kaori's new friend seemed confused and increasingly uncomfortable as the moments went by. Had she done something wrong? She was certain that Matsushita-Senpai had gotten a good feel of her face. Kaori needed to recover from a mishap once again and once again the answer came in a flash! Of course! I'll give her a compliment! That will ease the awkwardness! Kaori watched Matsushita-Senpai for a moment as she fixed herself some kind of drink, noting that her coordination was quite excellent as if she could tell where each thing was without even touching them. Not only was she truly impressed but it was the perfect compliment! A confident smile gleamed at her new friend as she spoke. "Matsushita-Senpai you seem really well coordinated! It's amazing how well you've adapted to blindness."
I thought you might like that. I think I'm going to make it a running gag that Kaori "remembers hearing" a lot of inaccurate information.
Do you want it to be our thing? I can always edit the post if you don't like what I came up with.
Her eye's lit up at the sound of 'Kaori-chan'. To think that a second year would address her so casually as if they were already friends! She really had stuck the landing! A few moments passed and she realized that Matsushita-Senpai had extended her hand out as if reaching for something. For a second she had no idea what Matsushsita-Senpai was doing and then it clicked. Obviously, Matsushita-Senpai is blind! Kaori remembered hearing somewhere that blind people prefer to feel a persons face so they can get a sense of that persons physical features in order to recognize them better. Surely that's what was going on! Kaori gently took Matsushita-Senpai's hand and guided it to her face so that Matsushita-Senpai could 'see' her face. Placing Matsushita-Senpai's hand on her face she explained, "This is me Matsushita-Senpai. Mori Kaori."
It's definitely a culture thing considering most Japanese bow to some degree when they greet each other. Although I've come up with a grand solution, that is to say that Kaori knows what to do...
When I was in Japan I literally had to teach people how to do a handshake because they had never done it before and some had never even heard of it so I just thought it was weird that she'd go for a handshake.
Testing...

EDIT: Disregard this post please the thread wasn't updating properly so I double posted to make it refresh.
Is Mariko trying to shake hands?
Just to clarify, Kaori bumped into Mariko's chair.
When lunch time finally came Kaori was starving as she had missed breakfast. She decided to bring her camera along in case anything caught her fancy and she had somehow ended up in the crowd of second year students on her way to the cafeteria. She was behind a girl who seemed to be having trouble with her ribbon. Kaori had a small panic when the girl almost choked herself with it. Kaori tried to speak up but the words seemed to vanish before she even spoke. For some reason Kaori followed as the girl moved to sit down with her lunch, just as kaori was about to pass her by she felt a tug on her prosthetic leg. She had apparently bumped the girl's chair and could only fall into the next one to avoid toppling over completely. With an ungraceful thud she sat in the next chair, thankfully Kaori had excellent reflexes and managed to keep anything from spilling from her tray. She turned to the girl and gave a nervous smile, "Hello, I'm Mori Kaori, a first year student. It's very nice to meet you Senpai." With that she gave a slight bow. She was almost certain that she had recovered from her mishap gracefully.
