The small, cramped office felt suddenly suffocating. Chloe sat across from Professor Harrison, the graded essay a weight in her lap. A D. Her carefully constructed argument, her meticulous research, all reduced to a single, damning letter. Her breath hitched. She fought back the hot, stinging tears that threatened to spill.

"I just... I don't understand," she managed to say, her voice trembling. "I followed all the instructions. I addressed every point you outlined."

Professor Harrison simply shrugged, a dismissive gesture that ignited a fresh surge of fury. Chloe stood up so quickly that she almost knocked over her chair. She had to get out of there.
