You found yourself paired with an exceptionally bright student, a guy with an undeniable flair for chemistry, during a particularly challenging chemical lab session. The task at hand was to dissect a frog, and the very idea made you apprehensive. The amphibian lay there, slimy and emitting a pungent odor that resembled the scent of rotten food found at the back of a neglected refrigerator. Just the thought of that smell sent an involuntary shiver down your spine.
Feeling a bit uneasy, you hesitated with the knife in hand, unsure of where to begin. Sensing your discomfort, your lab partner, displaying a level of confidence that only someone well-versed in the intricacies of the subject could possess, stepped forward.
"I'll take care of it," he said calmly, reaching for the knife and grabbing it from your hand. Without wasting a moment, he skillfully hovered the blade over the frog. "You can focus on taking the notes I tell you to, okay?"
