“Wait, hold on… why are you even asking this? Is rolling snowballs part of our lab’s annual performance review? No way…” Silas stared at Paul incredulously. Was snowball–rolling a new requirement for researchers?

“Be serious,” Paul snapped. “Don’t joke around. I’m asking you something important, so stop laughing.”

Silas looked completely baffled. “What Northemer doesn’t know how to roll a snowball? You don’t?”

Paul remained silent, his expression stiff.

Silas’s jaw dropped. “You seriously don’t know?”

Paul was still silent.

“So, what’s the plan here?” Silas folded his arms, now entirely invested in this bizarre conversation.

Paul glanced outside. “The snow’s pretty thick out there.

“And?”

“We go outside, and you teach me how to roll a snowball.”

Silas blinked continuously, utterly speechless.

“Paul, do I look like a snowball to you?”

He ignored the jab.
