Despite the fleeting but intense moment with Maria, the reality of Ryan's injuries and the torment he had endured at the hands of the bullies quickly came rushing back. His body ached with every step, and the emotional scars were as fresh as ever.
With a sense of unease and despair, Ryan returned to his home, determined to nurse his wounds and find some semblance of rest. He attempted to lay down and clear his mind, hoping for a brief respite from the relentless onslaught of hardships that had befallen him.
As he closed his eyes, seeking the solace of sleep, he was abruptly jolted awake by the intrusive sound of his door being thrown open. The sudden intrusion was disorienting, and Ryan found himself face to face with the police.
Without any explanation or chance for him to defend himself, they accused him of selling national question papers from his college to other students. The gravity of the accusation was staggering, and Ryan's mind reeled from the injustice of the situation.
Frantically, he tried to protest his innocence, to explain that he had never committed such a crime. But his pleas fell on deaf ears as they handcuffed him, treating him as if he were a hardened criminal.
The police, showing no mercy, dragged him to their waiting van, showing a level of force that bordered on brutality. The rough treatment only added to the confusion and fear that consumed Ryan. He realized that he was being unjustly made a criminal, framed for a crime he had not committed.
During the journey, Ryan was subjected to further mistreatment. The police seemed indifferent to his protests, and their cruelty knew no bounds. Despite his constant assertions of innocence, they ignored him, leaving him helpless and powerless.
The van arrived at a remote location, and Ryan was unceremoniously thrown into a jail within the police station. His bewildered state of mind, coupled with the physical and emotional pain he had endured, left him in a state of disarray. He couldn't fathom why this injustice had befallen him.
Meanwhile, far away, at an airport, a flight landed, and a lone figure disembarked with a suitcase in hand. It was the professor, returning from his journey abroad. His arrival was a stark contrast to the turmoil that Ryan was experiencing. The professor was unaware of the tragic events that had unfolded in his absence.
The suitcase in his possession held secrets and knowledge that could potentially change the course of humanity. Yet, as he returned, he had no inkling of the chaos that awaited him at home, or the deep troubles his student had been thrust into.
As the flight touched down and the professor made his way through the airport, a sense of anticipation and optimism filled him. He had embarked on a journey that held the promise of discoveries and revelations, and he was eager to share his findings with the world.
Unbeknownst to him, back in the small town he called home, Ryan's life had taken a devastating turn. The very institution that should have nurtured his dreams and ambitions had turned against him. The weight of injustice pressed down on him, threatening to consume his hope and spirit.
The professor's return marked the convergence of two vastly different worlds. One, a world of promise and progress, the other, a world of despair and injustice. The collision of these worlds would shape the course of Ryan's life in ways that neither he nor the professor could have anticipated.
