Chie walked into Nozomu's classroom and up to his lectern. "Good morning," she said. "Itoshiki-sensei is feeling unwell today— or rather, MORE unwell— and so I'll be substituting for him."

Many of the students' faces had fallen. "You don't have to be so disappointed," Chie said dryly.

Chiri raised her hand. "It's just that it's not a proper class if sensei isn't here to do 'The Thing'."

"Oh. Well, um..." Chie dutifully recited Nozomu's trademark line in a flat voice. "I'm in despair. Being a substitute teacher has left me in despair."

"It's just not the same," Nami said sadly.
