The morning sun filtered through the slightly open curtains of Lassen's office, casting soft shadows on the walls. Slouched in his chair with a novel in hand, Lassen turned a page with calculated nonchalance. His cup of tea, still warm this time, rested on the coffee table beside him.
The system interrupted the calm.
[Host, congratulations. You are now officially an obsession for academics worldwide.]
Lassen didn't even look up from his book.
"Tell me something I don't already know."
