Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Stoddard had the same reservations, so he didn't step forward to defend Roseanne.

Liz, with an air of superiority, sneered, "You know, self-awareness is a virtue. How can a biology major even dream of critiquing the physics team's data? It's laughable."

Just then, Sammy, who had been glued to his computer screen typing away furiously, suddenly shot up with excitement, "I just recalculated everything, and Roseanne was right!" Liz's voice cut off abruptly, as if someone had suddenly grabbed her by the throat.

Jen and Stoddard exchanged puzzled looks.

Sammy clarified, "It's not 50 and 71, but 50.2 and 70.88! This slight deviation threw off all the numbers after the seventh node."

That's the thing about research; a small mistake can lead to a huge misstep.

Stoddard immediately leaned over the screen, carefully rechecking the figures with the corrected values of 50.2 and 70.88. Sure enough, all subsequent numbers aligned perfectly!

His eyes lit up with realization. "That's it; the problem was in the seventh node!"

Jen double-checked the calculations and found them to be accurate. Suddenly, the way she looked at Roseanne changed. Her expression was a mix of surprise, amazement, disbelief, and a touch of guilt. She hadn't stood up for Roseanne earlier...
