In a way, physical pain was a novelty at Yamaku. Many students were hypoalgesic to varying degrees and some would have been grateful for the sensation. Fuyuki was not one of these people. He groaned soundlessly as the dull aches set in and took the nearest handhold to pull himself up; in this case it appeared to be the hand of another student, male and a damn sight bigger than himself. For a moment Fuyuki paused, trying to remember where he had seen this particular face. After a few seconds he was able to pull himself together and reached for his PDA. As he typed, another student came barreling down the staircase, presumably the one he had walked into... [b]'Thank you. I am unhurt; the fall was not as bad as it looked.
