The main character goes to Stellis University to join Vyn's psychology lecture as his teaching assistant. She remembers how she had bumped into Vyn at a bookstore while searching for books on psychology, which led to Vyn's invitation to audit a class he was teaching.
During the class' break, the MC takes notice of a lone woman who, upon closer inspection, the MC determines to be potentially suicidal. Vyn asks for the woman's name, and she introduces herself as Vera Walton.
