Who: The Chitoku inaugural class.
Where: Chitoku campus, various locations.
When: Sunday, April 3, 2022, two days before the start of spring term.
What: The school has opened its doors.


After eight years of careful planning and preparation, the campus of Chitoku Academy for the Gifted was coming alive at last. Helpful staff members had been posted everywhere in anticipation of the crowd, and seemingly every variable had been accounted for in order to make the move-in and initial orientation go as smoothly as possible...

Save, that is, for the weather.

The sky had just opened up on several hundred students and their families. Boxes and suitcases were being hastily hauled to whatever shelter could be found, with the aforementioned helpful staff members now acting as guides to the most convenient locations, and clusters of people seemed to naturally form around them, waiting for the downpour to slacken so the day could proceed.

The unwelcome interruption was met with slowly increasing annoyance from Yoshino, who punctuated the end of Taue's speech with a furious stamp of her foot (which had some surprising force behind it).

"You're one to talk!" she fumed, sticking a finger in his face. "I've heard all the stories, you know! About how you--"

"Come on, Yoshi-chan," Sachiko sighed, turning to go and giving her friend's arm a light tug. "I think I need to explain some things. Excuse me, senpai," she added with a curt nod.

"Maybe," he chuckled, as the two girls retreated for what would likely be an important and enlightening conversation, "but anyone I sleep with's well aware of the hows and whats and whys before I ask."

With a shrug of his shoulders, he turned to regard his new roommate with a wary eye.

"Should I expect to come back and find a sock on the door often? That is the American tradition, if my memory serves."

Despite his interruption, Mirai regarded his roommate with something of a patient look.

"No, that's your tradition. I don't quite follow your logic in assuming I'm as bad as you are, but I'll let it pass."

"How kind of you," Shinichiro deadpanned, with a wry shake of his head. "Honestly, Mirai-san, I really don't especially care what you do -- but I do know the sort of person you are."

He thought for a moment, and shrugged, watching the two girls leave.

"The fact that you think I'm as bad as you are is what makes you worse than I am. I am who I am for the world to see. You hide it behind kind words and a smile."

Another shrug followed. "But Hell, we're going to be roommates. I'll stay out of your business, provided you're not trying to engage those in over their heads. Stick to that, and we should get along swimmingly, really."

Mirai seemed appeased by this. A glimpse into the sparkle in his eye would have shown a willingness to listen and compromise. It looked as though the smile on his face was an omen of something promising.

"Is that so? I think I can accommodate your tastes, Taue-kun." He paused for a moment to tap his chin. "Will you afford me the same, by the way? Would you do me the courtesy of believing in me before you judge me?"

"I'm really not hard to get along with, Mirai-san. My heart's on my sleeve twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. What you see is what you get -- life's too short for me to do much else. You'll hear a lot of shit about me, and you can believe it, or not believe it. Somewhere between 40-60% might even be true."

Taue grinned, executing a slight bow.

"You know what they say, right? You never get another chance to make a first impression? I've got mine of you. You've got mine of me. They could both be right, one right one wrong, or both wrong. All we can do is find out, really. Did you get your stuff set up back in the room yet?"

"I haven't. It's been... kind of busy to say the least. But I've got most of my things." He tapped his bag with his left foot. "There's not a lot in there, but I might head over later when the rush dies down."

In the intermediate quiet, he leaned down and took the bag beside his feet. He drew the strap tightly down over his shoulder. His right hand adjusted the strap of the second bag that carried his laptop and other delicate things.

"If you tell me what time you'll be busy, I will try to come at a time that I shall not disturb you."
