Project Stem (プロジェクトステム)

School days

(Case Tanaka Is attending Mirai high school of Cybernetics Along with his close friend, Yon Sakai. it is currently 7:30 and Case is running a bit late to class today)

: Case Tanaka:
*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP* "sigh another day late? I feel like time keeps getting away from me?"
I better hurry up before I have to hear it from my classmates again. (Case gets out of bed and looks at himself in his room mirror). Man, I need to get more sleep; mom says I shouldn't stay up as late as do investigating the "accident", but I can't help it "I'll find out what happened dad."  (case walks into the bathroom to quickly brush his teeth and wash his face).

(Emiko Tanaka "Cases mother" walks in to check on him)

Emiko: Hey son you know you're 30 minutes late, right?

Case: Yeah, mom I know sorry. it's just that I can't stop looking into the accident at stem tech I need to know what happened to dad, what happened to those workers. Why are they hiding it?

Emiko: oh, honey I know. I miss your father just as much as you do. but you can't keep stressing yourself with the same question you may never get an answer too, now hurry along and don't forget to grab something to eat at least, ok? I don't want you hungry and tired in class. I love you, sweetie.

Case: yeah. I love you too mom "I know she's just looking out for me, but she can't just sweep this off forever. even if it means getting into stem tech myself, I will find out what they did."

(Case heads off to school and meets up with Yon in the middle of the courtyard currently with a lot on his mind still. Case just wants to make it through the day)

Case: Yon what's up!

Yon Sakai: Hey Case, you're running late today? this is the fourth time this week. Everything alright?

Case: Yeah, it's just the whole thing with my dad, the fact that Stem Tech won't talk about the incident. it eats at me that they can just continue to advertise and hire many employees like they didn't commit mass murders and get away with it.

Yon: Case... Listen Stem Tech is a HUGE company Hell it's the company of all companies without stem tech we wouldn't even be attending a school of cybernetics. What I'm saying is They rule just about everything right now and the other big names know that even if the courts wanted to, they can't flame a Corporation like Stem tech it's the sad truth but it's just the way it is. If anything, talking about that incident live would just get them more money.

Case: Yeah, I know but.

Yon: Don't stress it Case I hate seeing you worry like this, let's just get to class.

(Yon and Case make their way to class)

Mr. Takahashi: Ah Mr. Tanaka Any reason why You're late for my class again?

Case: My apologies Sir it's just been a rough few da-

Mr. Takahashi: How many more times are we going to go through this Tanaka!? It's the same excuse every time (said in a stern tone) This is your fourth Tardy this week you know the rules sir I'm going to have to write you up.

Case: But sir?! I -

Mr. Takahashi: NO Buts, Now head to the principal's office this instant.
