[b]A Thousand and One Ways To Ignore the Problems of Other People[/b]

Well, that was a strange title for a strange book, But considering who was reading said book, it made utter and complete sense. At least, in context it did. Tanaka sat quietly in the 2nd year classroom, flipping through the pages, completely immersed in the book's contents. To him, it was the holy grail of all things an introvert like himself could possibly use. The room was empty, save for himself of course. When the opening ceremony had ended, Tanaka decided to head straight for class. That way, he could at least acquire some peace and quiet for the day.

It wasn't that he hated other people. In fact, he cherished the bonds he he made with the others in his first year here. It's just that. . .these kind of things were always so damn [i]exhausting[/i]. Yes, that was the right word for it. Exhausting. 

[i]"Why are other people so draining these days?"[/i]

Heavy footsteps were heard outside the classroom and Tanaka closed his book. No doubt they belonged to the other 2nd years or at the very least their teacher. Awaiting their arrival and the interaction he'd no doubt be forced to partake in, Tanaka mentally prepared himself for the first day of another year in high school.
