Outside the academic building, Nina asks Aurora why she called her boyfriend during the meeting.

Later, Felix texts and offers to wear his chest chain. She refuses, causing Felix to panic and video call her.
Outside the building, Nina asks Aurora why she made a call during the group meeting. Aurora wonders aloud if Felix could date online. Nina insists Felix stays aloof from women and warns Aurora that upsetting advisors risks her academic standing.
In her apartment, Aurora receives Felix's message offering to put on a chest chain. Overwhelmed with dread, she texts back a refusal. Felix thinks he angered her by missing her earlier call, frantically begs for forgiveness, and starts a video call.
“Aurora, why on earth were you trying to video call your boyfriend in the middle of the group meeting?”
“Professor Felix is literally famous on campus for being cold and distant. The man never gets close to any woman. Him online dating? No way.”
“Babe, I'm free now — want me to put it on for you?”
“Babe I messed up, I really did. I'm begging you — please, just give me one chance to make it up to you.”
Felix misinterprets Aurora's cold response as furious anger and rings her phone with an incoming video call. Aurora stares at her buzzing screen in sheer disbelief, caught completely off guard. Will Aurora answer the call and risk exposing her secret identity to her ruthless professor, or will she ignore him and trigger another breakdown?
