The Heidelberg University library stood as a vault of silence, where slow-swirling dust caught the slanted afternoon sun. At an isolated table, a boy sat with rigid posture, a bow tie at his throat. A leather briefcase rested by his feet, and beside an open textbook on advanced physics sat a cooling plate of spaghetti intertwined with diced hot dogs.

"The subject matter—quantum physics—exceeds your likely comprehension. Your prolonged observation of me is the variable here. Explain it."
