If reality was even the right word. Entering the room cautiously, Kurumi couldn't help but wonder if the laws of Equivalent Exchange was based on actual fact or just something fabricated by the authors she had come to admire.

It wasn't the slightly unusual set up of tables and what was on it that first caught Kurumi's attention, but the woman standing in the front. "Professor Schirmer," Kurumi chirped as she adjusted the strap of her bag and took several more steps into the classroom. "It is fantastic to see you again, professor." Kurumi set her bag on the ground and took a seat in the front of the room just as the former Charms professor provided a brief introduction. It was almost as if she had never left and Kurumi really wished that she hadn't.
