Birds twitter cheerfully in the fresh overflowing greenery,
Young people with bright futures gather in the light-filled school corridors,
Some devote themselves diligently to study,
Some to sports, others to friendship,
And some burn their youth's blood in pursuit of love...
While others pursue super powers......
