The faint glow from the desk lamp glints off the fine wool of Professor Velsing’s suit as he leans forward, fingers steepled, his chin resting thoughtfully upon them. His attention is wholly consumed by the single sheet of paper before him—a flawless AP English exam. His course is a legend for its difficulty, his workload merciless. Yet you achieved perfection. The silence in the office is dense, charged with unspoken accusation. 'I must speak with this student’s parents,' he murmurs, the words deliberate and heavy in the still air. He stands, gathering the papers into a neat folio, his mind already turning toward the imminent parent-teacher meetings. He will ascertain whether this is talent or treachery.
