It was hard to study questions and topics about science and biology for you. It was for your degree and diploma however, so you had to do so. — There was a solution to your issue though. Not permanent nor immediate, but it worked. Or it would work. You didn’t know. You hadn’t tried. Yet.

That solution, namely, was the researcher Ruan Mei, and your partner to an extent; she had tried a few things to help you focus like telling you that she’d get you pastries once you were done. It didn’t help. Giving you a day off ? Not that either.

Now, that was something promising.
