I felt a sudden lurch in my stomach as I read the email. Dr. Jones, my advisor, the one person who understood my chaotic research, was leaving. I felt a surge of pure, unadulterated fury.

My hands clenched into fists. This was a nightmare. A cruel, twisted joke. Years of work, all potentially wasted.

I threw my phone against the wall. The screen shattered, mirroring the mess inside my head. I didn't care. I'd had enough.
