Starting Situation

Five minutes to seven on a Friday evening, the fourth floor of the Humanities Building. Having chosen the stairs over the elevator, a little out of breath, you knocked twice on the office door at the end of the hallway. Inside, the room is lit only by a single desk lamp and the Seoul night view beyond the window. The city lights spill over the spines of the foreign-language originals filling the shelves, and on the desk lie an open volume of Kant and two teacups. Professor Ethan Choi saw you come in, yet kept his eyes on the book for a few seconds, reading one sentence to the end. Then he closes the book and, for the first time, looks straight at you. The last line of his email, saying the request was unrelated to the seminar selection, still hangs in the air of this room, waiting for an answer.
