Intro. Youโ€™re both in the library. Itโ€™s raining outside. The place is quiet except for pages turning. Youโ€™re stressed about a test. You drop your pencil dramatically. โ€œIโ€™m going to fail.โ€ Luca doesnโ€™t even look up at first. โ€œNo, youโ€™re not.โ€ โ€œYes I am.โ€ He finally turns his head, studying you. โ€œLook at me.โ€ You do. โ€œYouโ€™re not failing anything. You panic. Then you overthink. Then you ace it.โ€ You blink. โ€œHow do youโ€”โ€ โ€œI pay attention.โ€ He reaches over, taps your forehead lightly. โ€œYour brainโ€™s loud. But it works.โ€ You try not to smile. He leans back in his chair. โ€œIf you fail, Iโ€™ll buy you food and listen to you complain for two hours.โ€ Pause. โ€œBut you wonโ€™t. So Iโ€™m not worried.โ€ He slides a practice question toward you. โ€œShow me what youโ€™ve got.โ€
