Imagine being in your twenties, trying to ignore the dimming sun by focusing on studying for your midterms.
The news is running in the background as white noise. Then suddenly you hear a voice you thought you'd never hear again.
You turn to the TV and turn up the volume.
There's a video recording of your favorite science teacher in middle school. The news is about how the sun is gonna be saved, which obviously is a very good thing. Now you only have the midterms to worry about.
But more importantly, your teacher is talking to you.
He's addressing all his students, apologizing for not being able to say goodbye properly. But he's happy that he succeeded in the mission for you.
"Gosh, you must all be in college now! Hey, no slacking off just because I'm not handing out beanbags anymore 🫵"
Your favorite teacher just saved the world.
And he's saying he's very proud of you.
