The accusations, meticulously documented, felt like a physical blow to Thomas. Across the table, the evidence of his idol, Arthur Finch's, plagiarism was laid out in black and white. His stomach churned. He felt a deep sense of betrayal. The words, once cherished, now tasted like ash in his mouth.

Thomas had spent years studying Finch’s work, dissecting every sentence, every paragraph. He’d written a master’s thesis on the very novel now revealed as a fabrication.

He resolved to do something that would impact Finch personally. He'd heard Finch's mother was in a care home. He found the care home on his own. He then started making anonymous phone calls to the facility, detailing the author's crimes.
