Nozomu walked up to his lectern, and paused to bow his head.

"What are you doing, sensei?" asked Chiri.

"If you're trying to lead a prayer in school," Kaere said, "I'll sue."

"I was observing a moment of silence," Nozomu said, "in honor of the lost souls in this room."

"Don't be silly, sensei!" said Kafuka with a giggle. "We're not lost souls."

"Foolish children," Nozomu sighed. "You'll learn to abandon all hope soon enough."

An uncomfortable silence fell over the classroom.

"I want my mommy," Nami suddenly said tearfully.

"Don't we all, Miss Nami," said Nozomu. "Don't we all."
