Attention, all Memento Eden school system students!

As your Social Studies teacher, I find it necessary to help you all determine your limitations in life. You can, after all, only expect to cling to hope for so long.
With this in mind, I would like to conuct...

Not that I'm a student, I didn't even know there is a school here, but...

Um... Sir? May I ask what do you mean by that? It's a bit... odd.

It's quite simple, really. I just needed a more effective way to teach students about how there is no hope in this world!

But... Er. Why would you teach them that? I mean... There is hope in the world, right?

Of course not! We live in a society filled with amoral greedy people, each striving to outdo the next in how far they are willing to debase themselves to further their own goals.

That's just in general, though. More specifically, we live in a society filled with superpowered neurotics who could kill half the island with a wave of their hadoken.

Hopes:

1. I hope I remember all my magic tricks
2. I hope I'll learn new, really incredible magic tricks and become the best magician ever!
3. I hope that next time you're in need of talent, you'll consider the fine talents of Trucy's Talent Agency!

[Handing you a business card]

I think hopes are pretty different than despairs, though.

It seems like these are all things that are out of your control, don't you think?

No? I think I control all those things! To remember everything, I just need to break enough things, and it'll all come back. And being a great magician is just practice. And as for my talent agency, my sales pitch is so memorable that I know you'll consider us.

Hopes that are out of my control would be more like 'I hope one of the people who just arrived will turn out to be a friend or family member from back home.' I guess I can't count on that happening, but you never know!

Oh oh!
Am I a student? Can I be one?
I want...um... I want to make people happy! And spend time with people! Aaand...um... I want to remember where I was going before I came here!

Like that? Is that right?

In my class, anyone can be a student, regardless of age, educational background, or species. Even if their despairs for the future are ordinary.

Really?!
Then I can be a student, right? That sounds like fun!
I don't know if I've been a student before.

It's very easy! Just come to school, and attend all your classes. Especially Social Studies.

My despairs...?
Umm...
Well, I want to do well in school... And to find a new fantasy novel...

Is that what you wanted?

It's good so far, but that's only two.

O-Oh dear!!
Um...
Third third...
I want... um... for many people to enjoy the library...?

Hopeless! Do you really think you can make ordinary people take a willing interest in academia?

Geh... What the hell is wrong with this guy? At least he's easier to understand than Fizban-sensei, but...

*after a few minutes of contemplating and twirling his pencil*

1. Find a cute girlfriend
2. Figure out the mystery behind this island
3. Save the world

*smirk* Yeah, right.

HOPELESS!

Oy, oy. I know I was reaching with the 'saving the world thing', but--

No buts! You need to accept the futility of hope!
