Because disabled students were exceptionally rare at the school, the ramp saw little use for its intended purpose and instead developed into an informal gathering place for a small, recurring group of students.


	== Origins ==		== Origins ==
	The ~~group~~ associated with ~~the Ramp~~ began ~~forming~~ while '''~~Aobaom~~''' ~~was in Mattayom 2~~ (M2). ~~Aobaom~~ met up with his friend ~~'''~~Linus~~'''~~ and, separately, reconnected with ~~'''~~Narat~~'''~~, a classmate ~~he had known back in~~ Grade 2. Narat and his circle recognized ~~Aobaom~~ on sight ~~but~~ did not ~~know him well personally~~.		The student collective associated with [[The ramp]] began to coalesce while Toemkun was enrolled in '''Mattayom 2''' (M2). The group's formation initiated when Toemkun met with his friend Linus and, separately, reconnected with Narat, a former classmate from Grade 2. While Narat and his immediate social circle recognized Toemkun on sight, they did not share a close personal acquaintance at the time.

	The ~~reunion was initially tense:~~ Narat was ~~annoyed that Aobaom had never returned~~ a set of Pokémon pencils borrowed ~~back in Grade 2~~. ~~The~~ grievance ~~eventually cooled~~, ~~and~~ the two ~~became friends~~. Through Narat ~~came ''~~'Washi~~'''~~ (~~also~~ known as "Wash", and later "Washing Machine")~~, who had~~ already ~~been friends~~ with Narat and ~~Linus beforehand and joined~~ the group at the Ramp.		The initial reconciliation between Toemkun and Narat was reportedly complicated by a long-standing dispute regarding an unreturned set of '''Pokémon pencils''' borrowed during their [[w:Primary education\|primary education]]. Following the resolution of this grievance, the two established a [[w:Friendship\|friendship]]. Through Narat's existing social connections, Washi (colloquially known as "Wash" and later '''"Washing Machine"''')—who already maintained friendships with both Narat and Linus—integrated into the group at the Ramp.

			During the '''second term of Mattayom 2''', the collective experienced its first major expansion with the arrival of several new members. This cohort included Art (later known by the pseudonyms '''"Fubar"''' and '''"Artizonstacks"'''), BB (later known as '''"Noodle,"''' '''"New Delhi,"''' or '''"Dwarf"''' due to her height), Vanda, and later Seamus. Throughout this expansion, Toemkun remained a constant fixture within the group, serving as a '''senior figure''' around whom younger Mattayom 1 (M1) students frequently gathered.

	=== Peak period ===		=== Peak period ===
	The ~~Ramp~~ is ~~generally regarded~~ as having ~~peaked while Aobaom was in~~ M3~~, its most active~~ and ~~lively period~~. ~~By this point~~ the group ~~had found its footing~~ and ~~had grown~~ to ~~take in~~ several significant figures. Among them was ~~'''~~Kate~~'''~~ who, ~~although not directly affiliated~~ with the Ramp, was ~~considered~~ by both ~~Aobaom~~ and Linus ~~to be one~~ of ~~its major figures~~.		The collective is widely recognized as having reached the '''peak of The ramp''' during the academic period when Toemkun transitioned into '''Mattayom 3''' (M3) and the younger Mattayom 1 students matriculated into '''Mattayom 2''' (M2). Characterized as the group's most active and cohesive era, the social hub expanded to include several significant figures. Among them was Kate, who, despite lacking direct affiliation with the physical location of the Ramp, was regarded by both Toemkun and Linus as a major figure of the era.

			This period marked the most boisterous era in the collective's history. Toemkun briefly designated the epoch as '''"declivis"''', though the moniker faded quickly alongside [[w:Satire\|satirical]] institutional titles such as the "Student's Union of the Ramp" and "The Boys."

	~~This era was~~ the ~~loudest in the Ramp~~'s ~~history. Aobaom referred to~~ the ~~period as "'''declivis'''"~~, ~~though~~ the ~~name faded quickly~~, ~~as did a handful of joke names such as the "Student~~'s ~~Union~~ of ~~the Ramp" and "The Boys"~~.		By this peak phase, the core group consisted primarily of Toemkun, Linus, Washi, and Art. Conversely, Narat's attendance at the Ramp sharply declined during this phase, limited to sporadic appearances. Interpersonal dynamics within the core group suffered from friction, notably due to an acute dislike Linus harbored toward Art's presence. This tension gradually abated over time, with Linus largely ceasing his criticisms of Art by Mattayom 4 (M4).

	The core group had come together over the preceding stretch, Term 2 of M2, consisting of Aobaom, Linus, Wash, and a newly arrived M1 student named '''Art''' (Aobaom was in M2, Art in M1). Narat, by contrast, had largely stopped appearing at the Ramp by this point, showing up only on a few occasions. Relations within the group were not always smooth: Linus grew to dislike Art and his presence in general during this era. The tension eased over time, and by M4 Linus had largely stopped trash-talking Art.

			== The deep end ==
			The far end of the Ramp, at its turn — the same corner shown in the photograph of members holding the American flag — served as the group's space for sensitive discussion. It was here that members held their more "dangerous" conversations, touching on politics, controversy over the school's policies, and other subjects they preferred to keep out of wider earshot.
