The rest of the day continued in silence.

This was nothing new.

During the restless and chatter-filled lectures that followed,
all he did was jot down the notes he was able to hear.

He didn't talk to anyone.

He didn't speak a single word.

He was completely quiet.

No one approached him.
After all, they already knew it was pointless.

Aside for a few wary glances and murmurs, they left him alone by himself.

This, also, was nothing new.

"... What a lonesome existence."

After classes he quietly headed outside.

Then, he started walking.
