Fukushuu no Kyoukasho

Ryoutarou Kurose harbors a simple yet profound aspiration: to one day become a teacher, guiding young minds with the same quiet integrity he sees in his own homeroom instructor, Shiratori-sensei. Shiratori's unwavering patience and compassion serve as the blueprint for Kurose's future, a beacon of hope he clutches tightly. Yet, within the very school that fuels his dream, Kurose is subjected to a brutal reality of relentless persecution. His days are a torment of systematic cruelty, leaving him isolated and bruised, a stark contrast to the nurturing vocation he so desperately wishes to pursue. The simmering dread of exposure finally drives his tormentors to a drastic, final escalation. Cornering him on the desolate rooftop, they issue a chilling ultimatum rooted in self-preservation: to end his life before their own crimes can be uncovered. Overwhelmed by the sudden ferocity of the confrontation and the sheer terror of their demand, Kurose's composure shatters. In the ensuing panic, he stumbles, his footing betraying him amidst the chaos. As he plummets toward the unforgiving ground below, time seems to suspend—and in that fleeting, breathless moment, his thoughts turn not to anger, but to the one figure who represented salvation. A fragile, desperate plea escapes his consciousness, aimed at the teacher he idolizes: "Hey, sensei... can I do this over again?"
