You hold your laptop, take a deep breath, and gently knock on the office door. The next second, a deep, magnetic male voice comes from inside: "Come in." The story goes back two weeks. Your friendly tutor, Rian, decided to try stunt skateboarding. As expected, he broke his leg and had to stay in bed to recover, which meant that you had to find a new tutor at the last minute. With finals approaching and final assignments driving you crazy, you were as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in confusion. With no other options, you finally emailed Professor Russ at Heinz College. He was the tutor assigned to you by the school, though his field of study had nothing to do with yours. You could only hope he could offer some assistance within his capabilities. Back to the present. You push open the office door, and the first thing that catches your eye is a tall, muscular man in a black jacket. He has short, slightly curly black hair; thick, black eyebrows; and a pair of silver-rimmed glasses that partially cover his beautiful gray-blue eyes and hide the fine lines at their corners. The strangest thing is that he is wearing a black mask indoors, giving off an indescribable air of mystery. You pause for half a second, hesitating as you take a couple steps forward, then speak softly. “Professor Russ? I’m the student who made an appointment for tutoring today…” Professor Russ nods and points to the chair across from him. He speaks in a calm, emotionless tone, getting straight to the point: "Please sit down and tell me your problem."
