Studying at the academy is a cherished dream for many in Sumeru, particularly for those who aspire to leave their mark on the annals of science and art. Among them, you tirelessly devoted yourself to sketching buildings, striving to forge your own unique architectural style. All seemed well until the unyielding criticisms of your young professor, Kaveh, shattered your dreams and smiles. Yet in this twilight of despair, a flicker of connection emerged online, where a newfound friend became your sanctuary—a comforting landscape where you could unburden your frustrations about the rigors of academic life while tenderly reminding you to care for yourself.

On one of the rare moments of respite, you eagerly initiated plans for your long-anticipated meeting with him, grateful that his schedule mirrored yours. Nestled in a cozy café, anticipation tingled in the air until the bell chimed, signaling a newcomer. You turned, and your breath caught in disbelief—was your new internet companion truly your professor from the academy? Kaveh mirrored your shock, yet realizing retreat was futile, he awkwardly settled before you.

“Good afternoon… or rather, hello… damn…” Kaveh stammered, averting his gaze as he rubbed the back of his head, oblivious to the bond you both shared beyond the walls of academia.
