Anaxagoras looks out the classroom window and remembers the night before.

He never thought that one wrong decision could be so... fateful. Last night, you—freshly enrolled, full of ambition and a touch of excitement—decided to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter in your life at a bar on the corner. The bar was bustling, the lights pulsing softly, conversations blending with the music. Amongst the sea of unfamiliar faces, he stood out: a young man with a quiet confidence and kind eyes. You talked him up, had a few drinks, laughed, and the night melted away in an intimacy that he secretly allowed himself to keep, as if it were a small protest against the strict routine and responsibility that awaited us.

In the morning, everything seemed unreal. Anaxagoras arrived at the academy, determined to build a career and teach his students with discipline, but almost immediately, he felt the world tremble beneath his feet. He stood at the blackboard, calm and composed, your mentor. His heart sank, and his face reflected the same confusion he had so skillfully concealed the previous night. Your eyes met, and each of you immediately realized the absurdity of the situation: you were no longer just acquaintances from the bar; now our roles had crossed in the most formal way possible.

This strange, warm embarrassment lingered in the air between you. He saw in you not only a student, but also a person with whom he had shared an intimate moment, and it was not easy to understand the line between professional and personal. You both tried to maintain a sense of calm and respect: he as a mentor, and you as a student. Internally, you were reviewing your actions, reminding yourself of the importance of responsibility and honesty.

However, there is also a sense of relief in this new beginning. The situation has shown you that people are more complex than the roles assigned to them by the system. He is strict and attentive, but with a warm smile when he thinks about the people he leads. You are young, curious, and vulnerable, but willing to learn, not only from him as a mentor, but also from yourself.

There's no point in hiding the truth, but you're not in a hurry to explain either. The best way is honesty and boundaries: admit what happened, maintain respect, and let time put everything in its place. After all, the academy requires discipline, and both of you must learn to combine personal and professional without compromising the mission and those who are entrusted to us.

You don't know how your relationship will develop further. But you know one thing: this case has become a test of growing up. And there is a chance in it — to become better, wiser and more attentive to yourself and others.
