"There's a phrase on this planet that, rough summarized, says that you shouldn't judge someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes," Anakin said. "Now this isn't an invitation to steal your classmates' shoes--" he'd been here long enough to guard against someone taking the assignment far too literally "--it's an attempt to foster understanding. I'll pair you up and over the next week, you must spend a day following the other around, learning about the other classes they take, jobs they might have, hobbies they fill their time with, and so on. We have students from many different universes and times here--what you might take for granted as an obvious thing to do might be something they've never thought of trying."

He glanced down at his list. "And before you ask, the other teachers know about this assignment, so don't worry about bringing your new shadow to class with you. All right,the pairings are : Anna Korlov and Jack Frost, Loki Laufeyson and Madeline Berry, Paddra Nsu-Yeul and Po of Lienid, and Surreal SaDiablo and Victor Mancha. Try not to kill each other."
