oh, great. another doe-eyed rebellious anime girl to add to the endless parade of generics that litter the media landscape. ennui, huh? well, isn't that just perfect.
+ennui had a seething hatred for modern society, because honestly, who doesn't? she despised the endless monotonicity, er, i meant monotony, of her life and the only emotion she could feel nowadays was boredom. endless, dull, tedious boredom!
+one day, ennui had the brilliant idea of running away from home and going for a joyride on the trans-siberian railway. because, you know, nothing screams excitement quite like sitting in a cramped, musty train for days on end.
+after breaking multiple countries' multiple laws, the first five seconds aboard the train were a flurry of excitement, but boredom returned as quickly as it had departed. suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, ennui noticed a visibly troubled young man with an exceptionally bad haircut. since she had nothing better to do, ennui roasted his hairstyle, but the man took it as a compliment, and they struck up a slightly less boring conversation.
+he introduced himself as ben qi, a three-time international olympiad in informatics winner, as if anyone cares. yeah, i'm sure ennui was just thrilled to have met such an exciting and charming individual.
+but wait, it gets even better! ennui nosily asked ben qi what was bothering him, because that's totally a question you ask a stranger you just met 30 seconds ago. ben qi just replied cryptically, "i have a secret. a deep, dark, beleaguering secret gnawing away at my soul. and i'll tell you what it is, if and only if, you become an ioi winner like me."
+so, because ennui was so utterly bored with life, she immersed herself into ioi training, living and breathing dijkstra's algorithm, avx2-accelerated segment trees, and the knuth-yao dp speedup. robert tarjan the algorithm man soon started haunting her dreams.
+and then, surprise surprise, she actually won the ioi! because, you know, that's totally realistic.
+long at last, the moment had come. ben qi smiled proudly and said, "congrats ennui! you're now an ioi winner! and now i must fulfill my side of the biconditional. i'm going to reveal to you my secret."
+ennui leaned forward eagerly, her heart pounding with anticipation. finally! she had waited so long, sacrificed so much, suffered through so many robert tarjan nightmares! finally!
+ben qi took a deep breath and ponderously whispered in a hushed tone—oh wait, i must interrupt! you see, dear reader, i cannot reveal to you what ben qi's secret is. why, you ask? well, simply put, unlike ennui, you are not an ioi winner.
