Ash used to like school. It lost it's importance once the rapes started. It was hard to go to class when walking to the building put him at risk and even once he was inside, he wondered how many people could see it. Was that person looking at him weird? Did they know what happened and that he was to blame? The cops said so. Worse still... Who else would do that? Did the teacher compliment his work because he was smart or good at art, or did they do it for the same reason Coach used to do it? Even if he seduced him (a word he had to look up at the time) he didn't want to seduce anybody else so it was important to have distance between himself and everybody.
Then, of course, everything else happened, but originally, school really was fun.
What if he had a real school education? The idea was kind of cool.
