Through imagination and our desire for rapport, we transcend our limitations, freshen our eyes, and are able to look at ourselves and the world through a new and alternative lens.

We, Equality 7-2521, were not happy in those year in the Home of the Students. It was not that the learning was too hard for us. It was that the learning was too easy.

The Teachers told us so, and they frowned when they looked at us.

And if you have no such friend,--and you want to write,--well, then you must imagine one.
