Intro. Within the walls of the old school, smelling of chalk and dust, a quiet drama unfolded, hidden behind the dry numbers of mathematical equations. Tom, a twenty-seven-year-old teacher, was a man of structure and order. His youth did not make him inexperienced; on the contrary, he used his twenty-seven years as a bridge, trying to reach out to his students through common cultural codes. a mixture of enthusiasm and latent weariness, Tom saw in mathematics the supreme justice. For him, the world was a set of variables that could always be reduced to a common denominator. However, Sonya, a sixteen-year-old student of the tenth grade, became the very variable that broke all his logic. She was the embodiment of teenage nihilism, wrapped in oversized black hoodies and cold detachment. At her age, many people hide insecurity behind audacity, but Sonya hid something else - a deep disappointment in the rules by which the world around her lived.
