Prologue

People say that the world's so small, that people you will meet in the future were actually somewhere in some corner of your past. You were simply carrying out your daily tasks, and dreaming your own dreams. Dreams that you hope will take you to some distant place, away from the decaying place you have now. Or perhaps you dream of a future where you are still where you are, except you look older, and your life is quite similar to the quiet, happy one you have right now. And then, when that dream comes to pass, you find yourself looking at someone you least expect. Someone supposedly far away.

But isn't it odd, that the world isn't actually small, but instead, so large that two people who already know each other may spend one whole day not talking to each other, and not even looking at each other? They're in one room, under one roof, listening to the same voice of one person, copying the same words on the same blackboard. Yet they're as good as strangers.

In this situation, dear readers, we find two students.
