Introduction
In the pamphlet you received in the mail from Akamori High School it reads as follows in the 'Message from the Headmaster' section:
The leaves are red today, full and proud, reaching up to the highest echelons of the sky here at Akamori High School. As I sit here descrying the campus, I realize how much we have aged together, Akamori and I, and how much we have yet to see. There are so many wonderful students, with so many talents and abilities out in the world today; the future of our country hinges on their quality of education.
I will never forget when I, as a young lad, came to Akamori. I clutch my travel bags tightly in my then too small hands; scampering up the same mountain side stairs, you’ll do the same, that lead to our lovely grounds. Akamori in Bloom is what they called it, flowers and birds seemed to rejoice at my very existence, and the splendid historical buildings subdued my giddiness into a respectful silence. "Shin no heiwa", they call it, "true peace". As I watch the red leaves of the Japanese red maple dance as they find their way down to the bosom of the earth, I feel 'true peace' once more.
At Akamori High School you will be like the leaves of these trees, fresh and green, ready to absorb the information to grow to new heights. You will expand your world, and take your first steps towards becoming the leaders of tomorrow. So you can of course see why I am so excited, yet respectful of the consideration you are taking towards Akamori High School. One day, when I'm long gone and dead, which of you will rise up to lead Japan into a new era?
The occasion calls for a Haiku:
Spring's here at Akamori,
Students, fresh green buds.
Gentle, loving care,
We shall forever invest,
As Green turns to Red.
After the turning,
Red leaves, falling from the sky,
Hark! Your first, red snow.
--Watanabe Kirishima the First (1886 - 1958)
Note: Current Headmaster Watanabe Kirishima the Third feels that his grandfather's words still ring true after all these years, and thus, has decided to not change the introduction message that is has been an integral part of Akamori High School's history and overall goal.

"And I am glad to meet you also, Shin'ichi-san. I look forward to speaking with you again and I hope that you would let me take up some of your time in conversation." She bowed to her fellow student, and shadowed her face so that he would not see the small twitch at the corner of her eye when she thought of her father and the way he managed 'his' company, it was as good as hers at this point. She would not let that child take her birthright away from her!
Toshi Kotoa kept a serene smile on her face that she made to look blank and air-headed, just as her father and every other person expected of women of her station. It would be best for her to seem this way, easy malleable and polite to an informal degree. Such was her lot in life, though she did have to say that such a facade did help keep any kind of suspicion off of her back, allowing her to run her father's company from the shadows, unseen.
"Thank you for taking me sensei, and thank you for your compliment, though I am sure it is overly-flattering about me..." Only her eyes could say otherwise to her perfectly oblivious expressions, they were cold and hardened to the outside world if seen in a certain light, sometimes it has been said that they contain flames of cold fire, flickering just beneath the surface of glass, only truly seen in situations in which she must be cold and ruthless - but when it happens it is bright an unmistakable. Well, if you believe the rumors that is.
Toshi took in the information the teacher was offering her so freely, intelligence was never amiss, perhaps she should start carrying her little black book around with her more often so that she could write these things down... Perhaps, she though as she fell into step just behind and to the side of the sensei. I think I will take Latin. This sensei seems so eager to spill all of these personal and intimate details, that and Latin would be a useful language to know, I think.

After Ichi finished his statement, he realized that they had already reached their dorm room. As Kou-sensei opened the door, Ichi heard a rattle. Suddenly, a bucket of water fell from above onto the teacher, dousing him with water. Ichi only just contained a laugh; the senseis had to be the people who put it there, and they fell for their own prank? That was hilarious.
Looking inside the room, Ichi noted that it was pretty plain. All dorm rooms were, at first. Until the residents got settled in, of course. Ki-kun's stuff was all on his own bed, so Ichi looked to the other. It held his luggage and belongings, and he started to unpack too. One thing he took out was an old beat up football. He placed it in the corner of the room, out of the way, but still visible. Responding to Ki-kun's question, he said, "Well, I like hot showers, so maybe you should go first so that I don't use all the hot water. Too bad there are not any hot springs at the school..." He sighed theatrically and got back to his unpacking. He wanted to be done in time to be able to get downstairs in time to maybe get outside before dinner and go for a little jog.

The amount of students still in the common rooms were lacking, the only real activity happening was the set of servants bring the vast assortment of boxes moving about the campus. The young man somewhat motioned back to his own trunk, the heirloom as he inspected it once more. Masako somewhat opened the large antique container, revealing many flaps of neatly folded clothes, personal and accessories. His eyes found itself to a book, a read he had brought along to sharpen his own wit. The Translated Works of Trediakovsky were in his tender hands as he took a seat down at the sofa.
Neatly closing the trunk and reattaching the lock, he began to resume the works of the Russian Writer. The concept of discussing poetry in relations to a culture which language had not experienced before (many Russian Upper Class more fluent in french than the so called 'peasant language') was always a fascinating read. It was a talk of expressing emotion from what was original silent and unspoken in the literate world of that day and the theories behind it always reminded Masako that those were the corner stone for works in a much later era.
Thus the student stood reading in silence at the sofa, somewhat waiting for the dorm managers to arrive and bring him to his room. Thoughts began to speculate about his room mate, what he may be like, what sort of music he might like, what things he might like to do, what family did he come from, what he might aspire to be.
Masako had shared a room before. The Suzuki household was a rather crammed place when it came to bed rooms but sharing a room with his younger sister was always reminded him why he grew his hair this long to begin with.
