At first, Stanley was skeptical. However, as Quinlyn solved the problem sets and systematically unraveled those cryptic equations all through her application of various formulas–even some she had never seen before—he finally started believing Leonard’s words.

Sometimes, the workings of the human mind truly vary.

“She’s a promising talent. Leonard remarked. Having encountered countless students and seen many prodigies during his time, he expressed genuine admiration for Quinlyn.
