The email arrived as a cold blast, chilling Leo to the bone. Professor Davies was gone. His world spun. His stomach felt as if it had dropped. He wouldn't allow himself to wallow, though. He had a mission to achieve, and he wouldn't fail.

He immediately went to the lab, his footsteps echoing in the silence. He adjusted the equipment and began working, methodically, with a renewed vigor. He would continue. The challenge was daunting, but he had a commitment to keep.

Hours later, he finally went to see his professor. He listened to the advice. His heart was heavy, but his resolve was iron. He would complete the work. No matter the cost.
