"But thankfully, someone caught onto the issue at hand."
Could it be that no one else sensed anything amiss?
Roseanne found that hard to believe.
Yet, once aboard this metaphorical ship, it was impossible for her alone to steer it in a new direction. The only
option was to... keep going, even if it meant heading down a path of mistakes.
After all, for most graduate students, their heart wasn't set on research. Securing a master's degree was merely
a step to gain a competitive edge in the job market, not a pursuit of academic achievement. To them, a thesis
was not a symbol of scholarly success but a graduation requirement.
What if Madeleine had suddenly stood up, challenging the entire project? Those who had already graduated
wouldn't be affected, but what about the current batch of students on the brink of graduation? They had based
their theses on this project, already deep into their preparations.
Madeleine wanted to turn back, but she couldn't.

option the situation demanded they press on.
"But I'm relieved that you all noticed the problem so quickly and pinpointed the exact issue," Madeleine said, a
hint of pride in her voice.
Roseanne remained silent.
Then, Madeleine suddenly asked, "What do you think of Mamie and Scales?"
"In what way?" Roseanne inquired.
"Their academic thinking, research talent, and attitude."
Roseanne pondered for a moment: "All things considered, they're quite capable."
Both had shown they could think critically, which was why they had identified the flaws in the project.
Instead of running from the problem, they sought to verify it, just like Roseanne had.
During their investigation, both showcased their strengths-
Mamie was quick-witted with a remarkable memory.
Scales was calm and could analyze problems from a broader perspective.
Hearing this, Madeleine couldn't help but smile: "It seems I've chosen the right people."
"Now that you've identified the issues with our research direction, | assyou've already got sideas on
how to proceed. This
project has becmeaningless to you."
"My advice is" Madeleine paused for emphasis, "to start a new project based on your current ideas."
"But the lab..." There was only one.
And this lab was nowhere near as equipped as Owen's, making it impossible to carry out two separate research
projects simultaneously. "Apply for another lab with the department," Madeleine suggested.
A new lab exclusively for the trio's project.
After the discussion, Roseanne relayed Madeleine's suggestions to Mamie and Scales.
Mamie, her brow furrowed in concern, asked, "So we just let the current project continue on its flawed path?
Does it even hold any value?"

Roseanne replied, "Just because the
direction was off doesn't mean the research is useless. Every conclusion, whether right or wrong, is worth
exploring. It's just that now we have a clear direction, it's better to spend our t'discovering the right' rather
than 'proving the wrong.' The former is undoubtedly more valuable."
But that didn't mean the latter was meaningless.
