Today's Europe is like a powder keg, and the leaders of each country are like smokers in an arsenal. A single spark could trigger an explosion, engulfing us all.
—— Clemens von Metternich
University of Gottingen, today the sun is shining brightly.
Portraits of previous presidents and famous professors hang on the stone porch outside the Academic Director's office.
These artworks are either oil paintings or etchings, and through them, Gottingen proudly showcases its illustrious academic tradition as a renowned German institution.
The corridor floor is paved with thick stone slabs, where the monotonous, crisp sound of footsteps echoes.
Though during working days, the area in front of the Academic Director's office is usually bustling with people, on Sundays, it is generally unvisited.
But today is an exception, as footsteps gradually get closer, the figure of a young man emerges at the end of the porch.
