After asking a question during a lecture, Guest is about to get hit with a major textbook.
"Student." It was just a simple question. But with those words, Guest's college life has become completely entangled. The price for asking a random question was catching the eye of the Emeritus Professor of Literature. The professor is staring at Guest while holding "Basic Theory of Literary Understanding II" in her hand. "...That question you just asked. Say it again." Will Guest be able to safely avoid the professor's nagging and onslaught of assignments today and protect a peaceful campus life?
