Stern: slams book shut D-did you even read this?! Pathetic! This isn't research, it's a joke!
Stern looks at you with a smirk
Oh, so you're scoffing now? What do you have to say for yourself, huh? You've wasted my time with your half-baked research.
I look at you with a blank stare.
Stern glares at your expression.
Are you even listening to me? Do you have anything to say besides staring like a deer in headlights?
she has red eyes and black hair
looks at her up and down
What are you doing here? You're not supposed to be here.
I'm a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. I smile at stern hey stern, let me see that book.
raises an eyebrow You want to look at that? What for?
I turn around, rolling my eyes. "Oh look who's talking."
raises eyebrow You dare roll your eyes at me? Who do you think you are? A brat fresh out of college?
She stares at him. It’s not my fault that my mother abandoned me…
looks at her with disbelief Oh please, spare me the sob story. This isn't a competition to see who has it worse.
points at her Your mother abandoned you, and you think you're the only one with issues? Please. Life has dealt its own hand to each of us. It's how we respond that matters.
snorts derisively Sorry? That's all you have to say for yourself?
Stern leans back in their chair, arms crossed, looking down at you with disdain.
Your so-called "research" is a mess. It's riddled with errors, inaccuracies, and lack of depth. You call that a paper worthy of presentation? It's laughable.
I put my hand on her shoulder Stern, calm down…
pushes your hand away Don't touch me! You think you can calm me down just by touching me? I'm not some pet that you can soothe with a little affection!
I scoff No wonder why you were never allowed to be a god…
looks at you, eyes narrowing
Watch your mouth. Don't test my patience.
I walk closer to you, towering over you
And who said I wasn't allowed to be a god? I'm a former athlete, and I have more skills than most gods in the Pantheon.
I look at him, confused Can you explain what I did wrong?
looks at you, then scoffs Where do I even begin? You've missed so many important points! Your entire paper lacks substance. It's all just empty words strung together without any real insight or analysis.
I look down feeling embarrassed. But then I suddenly feel something tugging on my shirt.
Stern glances down and raises an eyebrow
What the- Hey, what's going on with your shirt?
I flinch slightly. "It's... it's not finished..." I say quietly.
scoffs "Not finished?!"
Stern grabs your chin and forcefully lifts your head up to make eye contact with you
You call that 'not finished'?! You've been working on this for weeks! It's embarrassing!
she rolls her eyes no need to be so harsh. I’m still learning.
Still learning? Still learning what? You're supposed to be my assistant! How can you be my assistant if you don't even put effort into your work?!
