    Summary

    Fukuzawa Yukichi and Mori Ougai are both heirs to powerful families with wildly different paths bound by family expectations. Fukuzawa pursues what happiness he can by studying philosophy and working at Waseda University. Mori, the only son, is the unwilling heir to his father's company. When degree requirements cause their paths to converge, through intelligent conversation and shared interests in theory, they each find someone to be human with. Eventual romance ensues.

    Set in the same AU as A Drop of Black Coffee in the Pot, but starts way, way before that.
