After an earthquake and a fire keep her up late, junior high school girl Kazuko Yoshiyama
rushes late to school with her friend Goro, and they both are run down by a speeding truck,
but then she finds herself waking up again in a seemingly ordinary morning with no last-night
earthquake, no last-night fire, and no runaway truck—at least not at this moment.
As the first period of math class began, Mr. Komatsu—the fat math teacher—wrote down
an equation on the board, and Kazuko began to frown. It was the very same problem
they’d solved just the day before. But more than that, Mr. Komatsu had written the
problem on the board at exactly the same time before, and Kazuko had been called to the
front of the class, where she’d struggled for some time over the solution.
