Normand invitera le jeune Simon à l'observer dans sa classe, son fameux Purgatoire, où nul ne pénètre sauf lui-même et ses élèves… et Simon y fera deux rencontres marquantes : d'abord Saint-Exupéry avec Pilote de guerre, écrivain jusqu'alors jugé mièvre à cause de son insupportable Petit Prince; puis Stéphanie, une jeune élève surprotégée qui semble incapable d'affronter le monde.
