Richard Strauss braved it through the next few months to finish out the rest of the school year, doing his best to cope with Cassia’s body and social anxiety. It was a difficult task, and when summer arrived he decided to evaluate if he would return to teaching in the fall. He sat in his chair to think about it. The social anxiety stress of getting up in front of a class each day wasn’t healthy. On the other hand, Cassia’s body was still young and beautiful with a full life ahead, and thanks to the Great Shift that life was Richard’s. After several hours of thought, he made a decision. He’d return to school, get some higher level degrees, and pursue a career as a research scientist. Something where he could be alone and solitary to do work.
