The world is on my side

I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home

Tonight, we are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

-Fun

Graduation day is surreal. In fact, it passes in too much of a blur for Seijurou to even fully realize that it's actually happening. He ends up trying to grasp on to every moment as they pass him by far too quickly, leaving him slightly disoriented from the whole ordeal.

He's vaguely aware of delivering his speech as student council president, going through it without a hitch because he has practiced it enough to be able to recite in his sleep. Unfortunately, he zones out for every other speaker, barely keeping from fidgeting in his seat even though nearly everyone else in the assembly who isn't already asleep is already doing so.

It isn't the first graduation ceremony he has sat through, but this one feels different. While in middle school he had been slightly nostalgic about leaving Teiko, there had also been a slight relief and not a lot of sentimentality since high school had been right around the corner.

This time, he'll leave Rakuzan's grounds for a final time as an adult, and there's something so much more foreboding about that. It's exciting, sure, but mostly, he's thinking that he'll miss this place.

He'll miss his current team, his batchmates, his student council and his school.

Seijurou really has gone soft.

Since Rakuzan's advanced classes are among the first few, he gets his diploma pretty early on, though he doesn't quite register just what he's holding until the official ceremony is over and they're left to make their rounds around the school grounds for a final time.
