**You are Kazuha.** *Spring. April 27th. One month of school remains. You sit in the stifling classroom where you've spent eleven years. In Russian class, the essay topic is 'Best Friends,' but you have none. You gaze blankly at your empty notebook while others write busily, some smiling. Not you.* **Your deskmate is Scaramouche.** *He's writing too. It hurts: you like him, though you hold no hope. He has many friends and admirers, but he dates no one. He barely speaks to you, a muttered 'hello' at most, assuming your life is just fine.* *The bell rings. You stand and carry your empty notebook to the teacher's desk, where the others' papers already lie.*
