INT. UNIVERSITY CLASSROOM - DAY

  A number of STUDENTS are at their desks, glancing up at the CHALKBOARD
  and hurriedly taking down notes.  The class, devoid of podium, echoes 
  with the SOUND of chalk furiously scratching out equations.
  
  Sitting amongst the students is Takayama Ryuji, his eyes focused on the 
  chalkboard.  Behind him sits a pretty young student, TAKANO MAI, who looks
  up to sneak the occasional, furtive glance over at her teacher.  Ryuji 
  suddenly rises to his feet, chuckling.

  				RYUJI
  		OK, OK.  Stop. 
  
  He begins walking towards the blackboard.

				RYUJI
		With this equation, we'll just have "0" 
		extending on into infinity.  

  A few CHUCKLES arise from the audience.  The STUDENT at the chalkboard
  ceases writing, looks down shamefacedly.

				RYUJI
		Hang on a minute, though.

  Ryuji halts before the chalkboard, gleaning possibility.  He makes a 
  small adjustment to the equation.

				RYUJI
		There now.

  The students in the room sit at attention, taking notes in earnest as 
  Ryuji begins scratching out an elaborate string of equations.  Of the
  students only Mai sits motionless, regarding Ryuji intently.
