Volume 1.5 Interlude + Afterword

To all current and future students of National High School,

Next year, the board has decided to implement a modern, progressive schooling system by the name of the Tachibana System. This will include major changes to all aspects of a student's schooling experience. This email is being sent to inform you of some of the major changes.

We are cancelling the fourth term of this year in order to accommodate new construction and infrastructure plans. The government has provided the school with twenty-million dollars for the purpose of building the necessary infrastructure.

These changes will only affect those who are in high school next year. Our middle school and primary school facilities will be permanently shut down from next year on. This is in order to accommodate the new system.
