   Summary

   “You said you used to be best friends, whole time at your space Harvard. I know you won’t tell me, but man – what happened?”

   “Too many things happened,” the Doctor replies, standing up abruptly. “Too many things, too fast."

   “A hundred years of school... that must be one hell of a drama.”

   In fact, she is quite wrong. More than a hundred years of school, and still it all happened in the span of three semesters…

   ***

   The Doctor's raw, unedited, and painfully honest account of what happened between him and the Master during their time together at the Gallifreyan Academy.
