Ava leaned back against the worn armchair in her tiny apartment, a contented sigh escaping her lips. The last few weeks had been intense, but she was finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Her thesis was almost complete, and she had an exciting future plan. She smiled, feeling like a weight had been lifted.

A knock sounded on her door. It was a courier, with a package. It contained an official letter from the university. Her advisor, Dr. Patel, was moving to a different institution. Ava felt the world tilt slightly, her pleasant mood shattered.
