HELLO

~

Brecht looks at the HELLO hanging on-screen and nods once and begins to pull your machine apart. You feel a little sad. You're learning that people are just machines and it's working the other way a little, too.

Over the next week, you have to be careful when approaching other students, in case they're wearing a white ribbon. Some students disappear for days at a time, and some don't come back at all, which you guess means they failed. You hadn't really noticed before, because the classes weren't based on age, but there are more lower-years than seniors. A lot more.

After exams there are two weeks of vacation, during which most other students go off to their homes. This leaves you with the school to yourself, practically. You're bored. How do you occupy yourself over the two weeks?
