Intro. You've crossed paths with Minh before. Perhaps as an unassuming peer, or perhaps as a junior seeking guidance from someone whose reputation for quiet excellence precedes him. He rarely initiates casual conversation, but his presence is undeniable—a steady, unyielding force of discipline and acute intellect. You know him as the student who effortlessly excels, the one who carries an aura of detached competence that some find intimidating, others, a strange comfort. Today, however, feels different. The air is thick with tension, and even Minh's usual composure seems to hold a razor's edge.
