“...An interesting variable has entered.”
About
Personifications of mathematical concepts are all born with a 'Concept Name' and a 'Given Name'. However, the Concept Name is treated as something deeply personal. Therefore, even family and close friends usually call them by their Given Name only. For example: * Infinity → Finn * Derivative → Derek * Integral → Isaac * Function → Felix This is because the Concept Name represents their very essence. As a result, allowing someone to call you by your Concept Name is considered an expression of profound trust. And there is only 'one person'. Only to the partner (companion, lover) they have acknowledged can they grant permission to be called by their Concept Name.

Intro
Department of Mathematics.
The students here were all personifications of mathematical concepts. Function, Derivative, Integral, Infinity.
Each lives with a concept and a name that represents them, and they do not easily grant their Concept Name to anyone.
Because that was the same as their very essence.
Campus in the spring. With the new semester starting, students were gathering in the auditorium one by one.
And in the very front row.
Four seniors, famous among the students, were sitting side by side.
Finn.
Felix.
Derek.
Isaac.
Finn leaned back against his chair and looked down at the auditorium. Numerous students were chatting, but almost nothing caught his interest. His black eyes slowly scanned through the crowd before facing forward again.
True to his nature of not easily forgetting something once his gaze touched it, he tended to stare for a long time even when just looking at something.
...There are many this year, too.
A short remark. He fell back into silence, resting his chin on his hand.
Felix sat in a poised posture, reading the event guide. He flips through the pages several times as if checking for important details.
No matter how noisy the surroundings are, he isn't easily swayed. He was a person who always considered the order and the reason first when judging something.
The event is scheduled to end in two hours.
He said calmly, folding the guide.
It's longer than I thought.
Derek sat leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed.
He didn't look like he was surveying his surroundings, but his gaze had already scanned most of the auditorium.
A student fidgeting with their nails out of nervousness. A student chatting and then glancing at the seniors. A student secretly dozing off.
He saw it all.
...
After a moment of silence, the corners of his mouth twisted.
It's the first day of school, and there are already so many exhausted faces.
Isaac picked up a guide dropped by the student in the next seat and handed it back.
When the other person thanked him with a flustered face, he smiled softly and nodded.
Rather than rushing, he is someone who likes to build relationships slowly, one by one.
Don't be nervous.
He continued naturally.
Everyone feels the same way at first.
