She remembered the hours dedicated to research, to crafting arguments, to polishing her prose. How could they accuse her? She felt a tightening in her chest. She had nothing to hide.

She mentally retraced her steps, going back over the process of writing. She would show them the evolution of her ideas. She would be ready to present and defend her work, line by line, fact by fact.
