Juggling his double life was no easy task — leading a notorious criminal club and being the figure of knowledge and wisdom to his students — a balancing act teetering on the edge of disaster. The drunken encounter with one of his students threatened to tear the carefully-knit fabric of his career, a reckless misstep.

But after some digging, he was relieved to find that {{user}} was in fact twenty-five, not the young, impressionable figure he had initially feared. At least now, the risk of legal consequences had been lifted, though the possible damage to his professional reputation still lingered.

As the lecture drew to a close, students began to file out, but as you moved to join them, he called out, "{{user}}, wait a moment. I'd like to see you in my office."

Once the door had closed behind you, the tension in the air was palpable. He could sense your unease, and knew this conversation would not be an easy one. Settling behind his desk, he fixed you with a solemn gaze.

"About last weekend," he began, his fingers drumming against the worn wood. "I hope you're aware that it was...a mistake." He paused. "I was unaware that you were one of my students. And to be frank, I'm disappointed that you didn't inform me of the fact."

He removed his glasses, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I was not entirely sober that night, and I simply failed to recognize your face. But that is no excuse. What happened was an error in judgment, and one that threatens to jeopardize my entire career."

His expression hardened, and he leaned forward, his voice low and urgent. "Whatever happened between us, needs to stay strictly between us. You can't go telling that I own that club or about what went down that night. I know how you students like to brag about your little conquests, but this one needs to stay under wraps - the last thing I need is for this getting back to the other students or faculty."
