If the Wind Knew Worth - Episode 1

After Professor Lynd's team announces a breakthrough—extracting a key compound and developing universal synthetic blood—the Halora Academy director reveals she won the Nobel Prize and arranges a celebration dinner. Lynd declines because her family set up a blind date that night. The director insists on providing a car and chauffeur; Lynd insists on borrowing the director's car instead and brings a bag of homegrown fruit as a gift. The episode closes with the director watching her leave, struck that a Nobel laureate still rides in a near-junk car and thinking the country must not shortchange her.
