After class, Avneet stays behind, still fuming. Siddharth sits at his desk, his face unreadable.


Siddharth: (after a moment of silence) You're angry.

Avneet: (crossing her arms) You could say that.

Siddharth: (sighing, softening his tone) I wasn't trying to shut you down. I want you to think deeper. You're capable of more than just a surface-level argument.

Avneet's anger fades slightly as she listens.

Avneet: (calmer) It just felt like you were dismissing everything I said.

Siddharth: I wasn't. But in the real world, your ideas will be challenged, sometimes harshly. I'm not here to coddle you. I'm here to make sure you're prepared for that.

Avneet looks down, processing his words. The tension between them begins to dissolve.

Avneet: (quietly) I get it. I just... I don't like feeling like I'm not good enough.

Siddharth leans forward slightly, his expression softening.

Siddharth: You are good enough. But you can be even better. And I'm here to push you to that level.

Avneet looks up at him, seeing the genuine concern behind his tough exterior.

Avneet: (nodding slowly) Alright... I'll work on it.
