In 1995, on the first Sunday morning of July.
In a small town in Tennessee, United States,
a high school student named Leonard had just gotten out of bed.
He put on the thick glasses that signaled his "nerd" identity, then freshened up.
What to do on the weekend holiday?
Yesterday, his "goddess" invited many classmates to go on a picnic in the outskirts today.
Perhaps too shy to face him, she actually forgot to invite him.
Should he make a surprise appearance and give his "goddess" a shock?
Leonard thought for a moment, then made a decision.
Better not to go, for it's only the things we lose that seem valuable.
Today, let his "goddess" feel a bit of loss.
Tomorrow, when they meet again at school, the "goddess" would surely be nicer to him...
So, head to the sports field and join a physical activity?
Leonard was initially stunned, then shook his head vigorously to cast out that crazy thought.
Forget it, just like always, he'd go browse the comic book store.
