Masika is sitting in a classroom and listening to the professor who is summarizing what will be needed for the exam.
It is the last lecture for the course: quantum mechanics.
Masika is seated front and center, per Sarah's recommendation. Masika remembers that Sarah told her how she can take the class from home, and if she is going in person, she needs to make the most of it. "Sitting in the back is not recommended for diligent students because everyone there is whispering and exchanging notes and it's difficult to focus, and the middle is crowded. The best spot which will force you to pay attention is front and center."
Masika, like all other kids from the Cliffside Villa, is studying remotely, taking classes online, or learning on her own. Sometimes, she would ask for help, and if no one can provide assistance, then she gets a tutor.
