Kafuka stood at the front of the class, and began to read from a term paper. "My presentation," she said cheerfully, "is on the epidemic of Japanese people trying to make themselves taller—"

"WHAT!?" Itoshiki yelled. "Hasn't this joke gone on long enough, Kafuka!?"

"It's no joke, Mr. Pink Supervisor," an unusually stern Kafuka said. "It's important for us to try to understand how, in a world filled with hope, so many people could believe themselves to be vertically challenged!"

Once again, Itoshiki found himself pondering the exact line between sweet (if infuriating) naïveté and profound psychotic denial of reality.
