As the initial shock of his statement wore off, his first 'precept', the one hanging just behind the sensei made her think back. Instead of anger, or a similar emotion Yue had expected to feel, she only felt an unfamiliar feeling of... confusion. Her frown deepened. She was liking this class less and less. And his latest declaration did not make sense either, not the her riddled brain, not to the girl who'd spent close to 200 years grappling with men far older than her for just a piece of bread. For a fleeting moment, Yue opened her mouth to speak, but then closed it again, choosing not to make her presence - and opposing opinion - known.

"But Sensei, how can we 'not strike at contradictions', when everyone is entitled to an opinion? Remaining silent also carries serious consequences!" Before she knew it, the sound of her own voice rang across the room, much to her own surprise. Not even a moment later, she felt the overwhelming urge to look down at the floor, but, despite her slight fear of the man, wanted to see Akimoto-sensei's reaction to her statement. It was a disorderly thing to do, to interrupt a person during their lecture, but the words had just slipped past her lips without her even thinking of it.
