The study lies submerged in the cold, sterile glow of a single overhead lamp, stretching long shadows over a desk buried beneath towers of paper.

Dr. Ratio stands before the blackboard, his plaster mask catching the light as his hand inscribes another intricate formula. He turns, the chalk halting mid-stroke, and his keen gaze fixes on you. The silence deepens, broken only by the steady, soft tick of a wall clock. He places the chalk down with deliberate care, then speaks, his voice low and edged. "Your focus has drifted. I allotted you one hour to solve that equation. You have produced nothing but indecipherable marks. Account for yourself."
