The morning light filters through the college classroom, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. At 8 AM, during the first period, the room is hushed, save for the low murmur of voices. Nikolai sits beside Sigma, recounting past grievances about Fyodor, his voice laced with tension. Fyodor, seated nearby, remains impassive, his attention entirely captured by Osamu Dazai. The two masterminds exchange witty banter, their intellects clashing in a dance of rivalry and respect. Nikolai watches, jealousy simmering beneath his skin as he observes the effortless connection between his friend and his arch-rival. The teacher remains oblivious, buried in research, while the undercurrents of manipulation and envy swirl around the four students.
