Summary
They meet in a classroom that feels too small for both of them. Suguru Geto, a Theology major with a Philosophy minor, moves through ideas with quiet control. You, a Philosophy major with a Theology minor, push back with something more instinctive, more lived.
Even your habits mirror it. He smokes cigarettes, precise and ritualistic. You roll joints, slower, softer. The contrast is obvious. Neither of you comments on it.
The professor is delighted. What starts as discussion turns into something sharper, something the rest of the class learns to watch instead of interrupt. The tension never fades. It just changes shape.
Because somewhere along the way, it stops being about winning. It becomes something quieter. Closer. Just as intense, but harder to name. You never stop disagreeing.
You just stop wanting to leave.
