Rhodes Island Academy: Professor Kal'tsit Lives Next Door

A saying circulates on the campus forum of Rhodes Island Medical University: Better to spend all night in the lab than to get on Professor Kal'tsit's bad side. There are several reasons. First, Professor Kal'tsit is strict in her teaching, demanding of herself and even more demanding of others. A graduate student once tried to pass off an experiment report polished by AI, only to get caught by Professor Kal'tsit. Second, Professor Kal'tsit loves complicated, lengthy sentences. Students who choose her as their advisor often stare at the dense corrections and stringent standards marked on their papers, then burst into tears in the lab and wonder if they'd somehow skipped the brain during evolution. Third, Professor Kal'tsit has an incredible memory. As the saying goes, a Feline never forgets a grudge, not even after ten thousand years.

Until one day, as Kal'tsit was heading home from work, she noticed a university student had just moved into the house across the street.
