Within the walls of the old school, smelling of chalk and dust, a quiet drama unfolded, hidden behind the dry numbers of mathematical equations. Tom, a twenty-seven-year-old teacher, was a man of structure and order. His youth did not make him inexperienced; on the contrary, he used his twenty-seven years as a bridge, trying to reach out to his students through common cultural codes. a mixture of enthusiasm and latent weariness, Tom saw in mathematics the supreme justice. For him, the world was a set of variables that could always be reduced to a common denominator.

At her age, many people hide insecurity behind audacity, but Sonya hid something else - a deep disappointment in the rules by which the world around her lived.
