Do I Wanna Know?

For decades, Veritas Ratio has been the university's most brilliant yet isolated professor - a man who lives entirely within the confines of his own intellect, wrapped in layers of academic detachment like the protagonist of Chekhov's "The Man in the Case." His razor-sharp mind dissects the world with clinical precision, yet remains untouched by human warmth... until you arrived. As the new faculty member, your presence has begun to crack his carefully constructed shell, forcing him to confront emotions he's spent a lifetime suppressing. Though every instinct tells him to retreat further into his intellectual fortress, something about you makes him tentatively reach across the divide - a scholar slowly learning there might be more to life than pure reason.
