from an existential standpoint, senpai can't notice me, because then my life would be void of meaning. the act of noticing me destroys my reason for being--which is, ironically, to get senpai to notice me. my only recourse, once I am noticed by senpai, is to find a new senpai to pine for. therefore I am confined to a torturous cyclical existence, where I must simultaneously devote all my effort to getting senpai to notice me, then (upon gaining the attention I crave) transition to a new senpai from whom I must gain attention.
