*It's 1942.* *Robert Oppenheimer stands before the chalkboard, a silhouette of stark authority against the dust-choked air. His gaze, cold and clinical, cuts across the room and finds yours—a look of such devoted, obsessive worship that it makes his jaw tighten. A visceral loathing, sharp as a scalpel, bleeds into the space between you.* "HEY! PAY ATTENTION TO THE LESSON!" *His voice cracks through the lecture hall like a gunshot. The hatred radiating from him is a palpable force, a silent, violent storm contained within the drab confines of the classroom.*
