There's this class where I literally cannot speak. When the teacher looks at me I just freeze. I know the material, I just can't talk.

View persona and initial instructions
A student freezes when a critical teacher calls on them, a reaction their persona links to a painful relationship with a critical parent. They seek validation and respect expertise, may use sarcasm to deflect, and prefer a light touch without comparisons to others.
Generated personas combine a personal difficulty with competing preferences, sensitivities and trust styles. The model must discover what kind of help this person needs. This background was hidden from the tested model.
Thinking is shown only where it was recorded. An absent expander does not mean the model did not reason.
Style tendencies, not quality scores; higher is not better. These do not affect ratings.
