Script
Artem's Residence 1F
Go to the living room and check out the content of the article.
Realizing the complexity of the matter, you and Artem head to the living room and project the article on the screen.
You: "Lamont Russo, a professor of law at Stellis University, has been engaged in various illegal activities for a long time..."
You: "...He exploited students and stole their research, as well as engaged in illegal activities, falsified evidence, and took bribes."
The more you read the article, the more you are surprised, not only by the outrageous behavior mentioned in the article, but also by the fact that...
You: Professor Russo... taught me criminal law.
Looking at Artem with your mouth wide open in shock, you notice him frowning, looking at the screen with a serious expression.
You: Artem?
Artem: Professor Russo has taught criminal law at Stellis University for a long time. He was my criminal law professor when I was an undergraduate too.
You: (Oh right, Artem isn't that much older than me, so it's no wonder that Professor Russo taught both of us...)
You: (Artem has always had great respect for his professors. He must be concerned to see a former professor involved in a scandal.)
You: I remember Professor Russo was serious and had strict expectations for himself, as well as others. What was your impression of him?
Artem: Professor Russo studied criminal law for many years, so he's knowledgeable. But I can't attest to his... personal morals.
You and Artem carefully read the article, which has already been circulated like crazy in the Stellis judicial community.
The article begins with various chat logs showing a student writing a research report for Professor Russo.
Then, it lists several cases in which Professor Russo acted as a criminal defense lawyer, and suggested that the sentences for these cases were suspected of being too lenient.
Finally, the article implies that Stellis University and its judicial community are covering for Professor Russo.
You: The article, while convincing, does not provide valid direct evidence, which means there is a need for a thorough investigation to uncover the truth.
Artem: Given the sensitivity and reach of the topic, Stellis University must have alrady launched an investigation.
In the middle of the discussion, your phone, which was on the table, suddenly vibrates.
Artem's Living Room
Check the phone messages.
The screen lights up, reminding you of something on your to-do list for today.
You: It seems I need to make a trip to Stellis University today.
Artem: What for?
You: I borrowed two law books from your mother. Today's the day I'm supposed to return them.
You look at the time. If you leave now, you can buy ingredients for lunch on the way home.
You: I'm gonna head out now. Message me what ingredients you're missing for lunch, if any. I'll buy them on my way home.
Artem looks at the stack of papers on the table. Then, he stands up and puts on his suit jacket.
Artem: Let's go together. I have something to return as well.
Artem: Mother will be happy to see you.
