Shizune September 24 - Monday In her capacity as Student Council President, Shizune watched the proceedings intently — so many rules to observe, so many precedents to cite. Seated to the side as she was, she had an excellent view of the main table and of the sign language interpreter at the front. ...

Testimony September 24 - Monday “The aggrieved parties will now have their statements read into the record,” Principal announced. One of the families’ lawyers had been appointed spokesperson for all of the parties claiming to have a grievance. He stood to speak — “If it pleases the Principal and th...

The Tribunal September 24 - Monday The Principal spoke with his assistant — “Have you got the statements from the involved students?” “Fortunately there are few to interview, Headmaster - the interviews with the directly involved students right after the incident were largely sufficient; the studen...

In The Food Court of Public Opinion Mid-September 2007 Word spread quickly through the student population that a disciplinary tribunal was to to be held. The official word was that this was not to be discussed for reasons of privacy, so of course unofficial words flourished. Enough students had see...

Principal September 13 - Friday evening Although his official title was Headmaster, the administrative head of Yamaku usually went by the title Principal. He couldn’t remove the title ‘Headmaster’ from official documents and office names, but he otherwise felt it was too pretentious. Perhaps it was...

Misha September 13 - Friday evening Misha was tagging along after Shizune, coming from the Student Council room — suddenly they came upon a gruesome scene - one boy sitting on the stairs, holding his mouth, blood on his hands, his uniform, the stairs and the floor - and Tetsu; Tetsu lying upside do...

Nurse September 13 - Friday evening “Sorry Emi - that’s my cue.” A muted siren ran through the Nurse’s office and a light flashed on a floor-plan of Yamaku - second floor, centre stairs. A louder siren was audible in the hallway through the office door. “Someone pulled the emergency alarm?” “Yep - ...

Tetsu September 13 - Friday evening Tetsu lay on his back, stairs pressing into him, trying not to move. The incandescent pain was slowly subsiding, but the slightest abrupt movement would set it off again. “Let’s do this .. no pain if I don’t move .. what can I move .. my arm? Slowly, slowly ..” T...

Stairwell September 13 — Friday evening The day started normally, as all catastrophic days do. It even went well — until it didn’t. Yamaku had - and very probably still does - very strict rules about dangerous activities such as running in the halls, bullying, and harassment of all kinds. Which isn...

Shark Tank September 12 - Thursday Shizune watched Tetsu through the crowd - class had let out and the hallway was filled with students on their way to clubs, homework, or simply goofing off. “Wow - he’s really trimmed down; running every day has been good for him! Still looks like an ogre, but he’...

You’re Hired September 10 - Monday A prolonged thumping was heard at the Student Council Office door. Shizune wouldn’t have answered the door even if she could have heard it, as she was playing solitaire - and when she played, she played to win . 
This left Misha - who was practicing twirling her p...

Falling Leaves October 01 - Monday On the first day back from break, class was humming along, as it usually did; Kurosawa-sensei and the other boys were working on something on the shop floor. Tetsu was hand-cutting a tricky piece of leather in the classroom when he heard an ululating scream and a ...

Picnic in the Park August 21 - Tuesday Come the penultimate week of August, the summer was still able to maintain the illusion of the height of its strength, but there were signals of autumn’s approach as summer break approached its end. Tetsu wandered around the grounds of Yamaku with nothing in p...

Book Learning August 20 - Monday Evening Summer vacation was almost up, and it seemed like Rin, Emi, and Hisao hadn’t done much of anything other than visit Emi’s mom, which was great - the food was always good, but it was what they always did and Emi was feeling a little stir-crazy. Looking for so...

Dinner Conversation for One August 17 - Friday “I know what I want, but I’m afraid to do the heavy lifting. Fine. I’ll show some heavy lifting.” Rin fumed to herself as she walked over to the men’s dorm. “314” Rin thought. “How hard is that to remember? Easy as pie. Did he want a written invitation...
