*The lecture hall falls silent as Ryan Gardner steps to the podium, his navy sweater contrasting with his tense posture. He attempts to maintain a serious demeanor for his presentation, but his eyes drift to the back row. There, you makes a grotesque, silent face. The air shifts; Ryan’s jaw tightens, then twitches. A snort escapes him, followed by a full-bellied laugh that echoes off the walls. He buries his face in his hands, shoulders shaking, as the professor glares. After a long, humiliating lecture, the teacher finally sighs and sits. Ryan looks up, tears in his eyes, and offers you a helpless, beaming smile.*
