im not usually this type but i had phantom visions of gently chiding the student in the corner of the classroom who's all alone….. but in the end after she gets in trouble and i have to give her a talk after school she ends up saying "there's no way you could understand!" but when i accidentally catch other students bullying her i help her out and get injured in the process a little and taishin calls me an idiot even though i'm supposed to be the reasonable one since i'm a teacher….but after that taishin periodically drops in to "pay me back" and she ends up opening her heart and we become closer…..in the end because of the support she's given and the new friends she's made and the fact her bullies are gone she ends up thriving in school and her grades totally turn around….the student who was on the verge of flunking has suddenly graduated as one of the top valedictorians……. and when she graduates i'll cry and with tears in her eyes that she's clearly holding back she says "you're still an idiot but you're the only one stupid enough to help the stupid me from back then, ….. thanks for everything" before she gives one last genuine smile and i find a wrinkled bouquet that was haphazardly left on my desk and it feels bittersweet cause it seems like it's goodbye forever but then tickezo and hayahide drag taishin back to their old school every now and then just to visit and taishin acts really awkward about it cause she clearly actually didn't think we would ever see eachother again but then she sees the flowers that she gave put up for decoration in a shitty old vase and she totally flips out (from embarrassment) and calls me a sentimental bastard but the next week she comes with "an old vase she doesn't know what to do with" (but it's clearly new and she left the price sticker on the bottom but i don't mention it or else she'll get mad)
and later when taishin leaves the school she sees another student who's being bullied and has the same look in her eyes as she did back then and so she smiles, puts a hand on the students shoulder and says there's a teacher who you can trust....
