He attended Morioka Central High School and graduated in 2015.[4]

gollark: The string.chars().nth() thing.
gollark: Don't do that, it's bad.
gollark: What is your point?
gollark: Yes, they are.
gollark: So if you want nth character (unicode scalar...), <@!341618941317349376>, probably it'd be something like `string.chars().nth(whatever_index)`, though if you have to please reevaluate your code.
