Talk:Toradora!:Volume4 Chapter3

"Well, that’s because it really is seaweed…"

This line is very casual. It feels like it should be one of Ryuuji's thoughts. Are the internal thoughts of the characters distinctly marked in the original version?

"Eventually, she was clenching her teeth where her front teeth were visibly chattering,"

Not a clear sentence. she can't really clench and have her teeth chatter at the same time.

Also, what's the difference between the "* * *" and the separations without 3 stars.

That line should have been italicized. I write in MS Word and I have to fix the font when I transfer stuff, so I miss some of the lines sometimes. And the answer to your question is not really, since there are context-based clues or verbs, but thoughts, sound effects, and even some discreetly spoken lines are just embedded into the main text.

--- I thought it was like tensing up so much that she was shaking and her teeth were chattering, but I guess it seems rather contradictory. Additionally, I'm confused about how she can speak if she's clenching her teeth.

Anyway, here's an alternative for that sentence: "Before long, she was stiffly clenching her front teeth and trembling fearfully,"

I don't know if there even is a difference. Sometimes the division has three stars and sometimes it doesn't, but they both denote a scene change.
