Wil is sitting under the trees, reading a book when a teacher and some younger students approach.
Teacher: Wil, this series is going to be boring if all you do is read books all the time. How about a bit of exposition to explain to viewers what this world is all about?
Wil: Well, there’s not much to say, really- our continent is made up of two countries who have been at war for 130 years over which one is older
Allison’s plane flies in and lands.
