Easter Egg (Gawsten)

All things happen for a reason, don't they?
When Awsten found out his second-semester elective was woodshop, he wholeheartedly disagreed with that statement. Surely being put into woodshop was simply a meaningless annoyance. He was wrong. If his schedule had said something different, he'd never have dropped the class and applied to be a teacher's aide, and he'd never have bothered to talk to Geoff Wigington, and he'd definitely never have discovered the unlikely similarity between them.
