The accusation, coming from Professor Anya, a woman he'd once revered, felt like a betrayal. Ethan was accused of using AI to generate his thesis, a preposterous claim. It was Clara, a student he had once rejected on a group project, who had pointed the finger. He felt a growing internal pressure.

Clara, known for her pristine academic record and her zealous adherence to rules, had a secret. A secret that Ethan learned. One late night, he made sure a copy of the evidence was passed to the university.

Ethan watched as the university's investigation unfolded, and Clara’s flawless image began to crack. He knew she would be exposed. He imagined her humiliation and felt a certain sense of peace as he walked the campus.
