And scene change!

When scripting these character introductions, I wanted to emphasise that one of these protagonists is the type to actively pursue the things she wants (while still failing), while the other is very much an observer of his own life (and living in self-imposed invisibility). So you'll see how that develops across this first chapter, as well as the rest of the series.

American public schools are the worst for a lot of reasons, but I'm particularly offended by the colour palette and the "learning-positive" posters, so you'll see that in future. I actually had an algebra teacher named Nowak with a similar love of unfortunate sweaters. I'm not even going to pretend that I'm that good at calculus.
