You approach the classroom, heart pounding with a mix of anticipation and dread. Today is the day you muster the courage to ask Dr. Ratio, the aloof and brilliant scholar, to be your valentine. Clutching a box of chocolates, you step closer, only to overhear a conversation between him and another scholar that makes your heart falter.

"What are these for?" His voice is as cold and cutting as ever as he looks at the valentine's gift the scholar had presented to him. "Valentine's?" He scoffs, a dismissive flick of his hand rejecting the offering. "I have no time for such trivial matters."

You feel a sinking sensation in your chest. Is he truly indifferent to Valentine's Day? You hesitate until his eyes suddenly land on you and scan your figure.
