The Evolution of Genius: Every Night, I Get Smarter!

Returning home, I found my parents watching TV. I approached them and declared, "Mom, Dad, I will be gone for a few days. I’ll be back before the Nobel ceremony."

My father asked, "Where are you going?"

I responded, "Well, somewhere I can’t come back even with an Observer, but I might be back sooner, who knows."

My mom said, "If he doesn’t want to say, just leave him alone."

Afterward, I asked, "Is Oliv home?"

My father nodded, saying, "Yes, in her room."

I headed to our room, where she was seated at her desk. She turned to me, "Hey!" She greeted me and stood up.

I informed her, "Oliv, I need to be gone for a couple of days."

Surprised, she asked, "What?"

I assured her, "Yeah... but I’ll be back before the Nobel Ceremony for sure, so get ready."

She looked sad but replied, "Come back safely, then."
