You know, I had almost forgotten what it was like to have to actually campaign for student council president. I've been running unopposed for so long... I ought to see if the council has made any progress toward finding a replacement for me.

I'd say that I was grateful that my teachers were not normally that strange, except I can't actually decide if Fujimura-sensei makes a more bewildering English teacher than Excalibur-sensei.

Ah, and Kuroba, I was serious about what I said to you on the subject of making sure you could attend one of Kid's heists. I'm more determined to, since Kid is now more likely to listen to my concerns than he was. What is your schedule?

It need not be that way, Tatsumi.

But it still is.

I don't understand what you have against it.

Soon as you do one thing wrong or look one bit different, all the teachers jump on you like you're some thing that's gonna make the other kids sick. They don't help when you don't get something because you're just trash. And then all the other kids laugh at you the whole time. School's nothin but trouble.

School shouldn't be like that.

That's how mine is.

If I had a say in it, your school wouldn't be like that.

Even if you did, you couldn't make it stop being boring.

That part is your problem.

You're right you know, that's exactly how it is.

You're both depressing.

Or maybe you're just lucky because you're the type of guy that isn't labelled trash.

The most unworthy individuals are always the ones that rise to the top of the social ladder. I'd rather be in your place.

I don't think you'd really say that if you knew what it's like to be so far down you're not even on the ladder. For some reason, people don't want to help people like that-they want to stomp on them to keep them down.

I would rather be stomped on than share the same social strata as the people at the top. At least my own integrity would never be in question.

...I meant that literally, you know.

I know.

So you'd really rather be beaten up and hated just for being yourself than?

I am quire popular in my school; the two people who are, or were, about as popular as me are Tohsaka and Matou. Matou is scum not fit to be allowed at school, and the less said about Tohsaka the better.

I would much rather be disliked.

Yeah, but there's a difference between being disliked and being hated to the point that people can't even stand to have you exist, even if you're not hurting anyone or anything. They're not even happy to ignore you-people want to go out of their way to hurt you, or make you sad, just because you are who you are, not because of what you've done or how you act.

...Things don't get that bad where I am.

Then you're really lucky. Or maybe you've just never seen it.

I hope it's the former.

Me too. I really, really do.

But take a look around and make sure, anyway.

I will.
