The university’s legal department felt like a courtroom. Amelia sat stiffly in the hard chair, every muscle in her body tense. Her mind was a whirlwind of questions and fear. Plagiarism. The word echoed repeatedly in her head, louder and louder each time.

She clutched her worn copy of "Pride and Prejudice," seeking solace in the familiar words. The accusation related to her literary analysis essay, and she felt like someone had snatched her very soul. She'd devoured the text, slept with it under her pillow, loved it.

A wave of dizziness washed over her. She blinked rapidly, trying to clear her vision. The room seemed to shrink, the walls closing in. This was a nightmare.
