ARC 2: WIND
In physics, the Coriolis force is an inertial force (also called a fictitious force) that acts on objects that are in motion relative to a rotating reference frame. In a reference frame with clockwise rotation, the force acts to the left of the motion of the object.
The air moving directly north or south is greatly affected by the Coriolis Effect. It not only alters the air flow but also any objects that is caught in the moving air. Sometimes the Coriolis force randomly makes hot air currents collide with cold ones, resulting in catastrophic storms.
One thing is for certain: humans will always be on the receiving end of such natural phenomenon. Who knows, if the reason why your day was bad is only a simple gust of wind...
Chapter 12
Early in the morning. The carefree wind played around with small pieces of trash humans deemed useless. In the distance, sharp wind grazed on the top of the train as it ran along the trail.
Nishimura Takumi was inside that train. A high school student, tall, athletic, good looking, exactly a maiden`s dream of a popular sport team`s captain. His face had several western features, most noticeably the natural amber brown hair that was superficially combed only to stay flat.
(Just kill me already…)
His sunken eyelids reluctantly moved away from the bags under the eyes. Sighing deeply, Takumi swept his gaze around the train carriage. Other humans, Japanese, most were asleep, some few were playing with their phone. Bored, he rested his head on the seat and slammed his eye shut.

Just when he was inches away from la la land, Takumi had an ominous feeling. Refusing to wake up, his instincts suddenly went crazy. His eye flew wide open, and in the direction he looked at was another student. This boy had the same uniform with him, yet his height did not match to that of 16 year old boys. Even more so, his skin seemed so tender that, had he not been wearing a male uniform, Takumi would have mistaken him for a girl with short hair.
(What the fuck is that kind of look… why is he looking at me?!)
Having cold sweat from Kyoya`s stare, Takumi started scanning around for an explanation. To his right, he found what he expected: the guy wasn`t looking at him. What he did not expect is there was an old man groping a schoolgirl from behind. Swallowing air, Takumi cleared his throat and grabbed the man`s arm:
“Sir, you would want to stop now.”
The ugly bastard [tags :>] jumped, and swung his panicked face away. Takumi proceeded to look at the girl, who also happened to be in his school.
“Are you OK?”
“Uhm… Thanks a lot. He didn`t go too far so I`ll let it slip this time.”
“Good to hear. No one wants any trouble.”
The girl`s voice hinted that she wanted to continue the conversation, but Takumi quickly put on earphones and pretended to be tired. It can`t be helped, since he did not feel like preparing for his first day at school and played games all night.
Takumi touched the doorknob. The thing felt like it weighed tons, and even his big arm won`t make the door budge. Feeling the presence of someone behind, he sighed and pulled.
(teacher`s introduction, seat setting, school rules,… etc)
Takumi`s mind floated outside as the events slit across his tired eyes.
Still, one thing caught his attention.
A very cute girl was seated beside him.
However he was not into small women. He preferred the type with more meat on her chest.
But behind him…
(It`s that girly dude from the morning!!)
Once again, he sighed. Looking out the window, Takumi could see paper and random rubbish being twirled around in the air by the wind. They kept swirling, and then dropped at once.
