If you skipped class for that long, it'd mean your `death' socially. ...After being dead that long, not only would you be unable to catch up on all you missed in the world at large, you'd also lose any motivation you might've had when you left. ...So, even though you'd be alive, it'd be fair to say that you'd died once. You would never again...be able to regain the self that you once were. It would never come back to life."
