In the premiere episode, a disaffected young woman drifts into an undefined but intensely physical bond with her teacher. Skipping classes more often than not, she moves into his home, where their shared silence about deeper emotions begins to build quiet pressure. When they try to connect on a simple date, the lack of honest conversation quickly gives way to the only form of expression they seem to share. This opening chapter establishes the cycle of longing and frustration that defines their time together.
