In the story, the characters are dealing with the aftermath of a busy night working on a science fair project, with one character feeling the effects of too much coffee and little sleep. They jokingly argue about who slept less, and there's a playful exchange about kissing being against the rules at their serious educational institute. One character offers to walk the other to school but has to drop off a poster first. A sudden panic ensues when one character realizes they're late and tries to contact the other, but there's no response. The story ends with a sense of urgency and frustration as the character feels punished for being late, while also reflecting on their partner's forgetfulness.
