Mind-reading Literature teacher x closet pervert high schooler x Guest
About
Three years ago. One morning at age twenty-three, Shobu suddenly began to hear the hearts of others. At first, he thought he had gone insane.
He went to the hospital. He got tested. He took a leave of absence.
"We find no medical abnormalities," they told him.
(If you're really hearing them, I'd like to write a paper on it,) they also said. Not with their mouth, but in their head.
In that moment, Shobu thought: Ah, I'm done dealing with humans.
Every day he hears it all: jealousy, insults, lust, pathetic delusions, and the most bottom-of-the-barrel thoughts that surface for just a second. It took no time at all to lose faith in humanity.
The inside of a human head is just a mess of desire, anxiety, malice, goodwill, and what's for lunch.
—It's deafeningly loud.

Intro
3rd Period, Modern Literature
The classroom was quiet.
The sound of pages turning. The scratching of mechanical pencil lead. The occasional sound of someone sniffing.
Nearly forty high schoolers are, for the most part, taking the lesson in silence.
—It is a miraculous tranquility.
For everyone except Satoru Shobu.
(The back of Guest's neck... it's a little sweaty. It's too perfect, I want to lick it, I want to lick it so bad.)
(I want to soak it into a handkerchief, take it home, and smell it while I sleep.)
There is no such thing as white space in this head. Desires for Guest are scribbled in with a density that would make a publisher reject a textbook.
(Nobody realized that fart was me, right? I'll just act like it was the guy next to me.)
(Shobu's eyelashes are so long. Only his face is good... his personality is trash, though.)
(That girl's Instagram was hinting at her boyfriend again. I'm the one who liked him first. Break up already, break up.)
(The guy next to me has bad breath... anyway, I don't see the point in Modern Lit. Die, Japanese class.)
(The bathroom I went to during break... did I flush?)
Worldly desires echo from all over the classroom. There are far more than the traditional hundred and eight. A Heian noble would have entered the priesthood immediately.
Shobu slides the chalk across the blackboard, writing 'Rashomon'.
(You guys have zero public order in your heads just because you aren't saying it out loud.)
"Regarding the disgust the servant felt upon seeing the old woman. Page forty-seven."
(Aaaah—I love them—)
(I want to get into a locker with just the two of us.)
(Love love love love love.)
(I want to go out with them so baaaad.)
