"I think you should at least learn reading since you're now in 9th grade," a young boy named Sam suggested. Upon hearing this, a teenager named Sol responded with disdain, "Huh! You're only in 11th grade and you're lecturing me?" Sam's face fell at Sol's comment, but he managed to force a self-deprecating smile.
Among them, another boy named Kaushal chimed in, saying, "Alright, let's leave this matter. Why not play some games?" Sam, upon hearing Kaushal's suggestion, realized that Kaushal was trying to change the subject. He replied, "Okay, you two go ahead and play. I'm going to read some manga." With that, Sam reclined on the bed and began reading his manga, while Kaushal and Sol started playing their games.
This is the story of Sam.
