I was always the centre of attention. At school, when I spoke in front of the whole class, everyone always shut up to listen to me. At university, everyone loved listening to my speeches, even if I was always a lone wolf. And then, in my career as a professor, I was always the centre of attention too.
I always thought of myself as an introvert who always avoided people. But in fact I have always been surrounded by them.
But right now there were too many people around me.
I was standing in the middle of a spacious square. I was just standing on the pavement. There were people all around me. They were just people who had come to watch me as mere spectators. But in front of me stood Judge Adam and other people I didn't know.
