Nothing from Nemesis. If the lesson continued on a similar trajectory, the nothing would continue. Nothing personal, Schmoe, but when questions like 'how would you approach this obstacle' in Defence Against the Dark Arts were blatantly revealing, a class discussion on something like empathy was totally off the scale.

Something to talk about when they went to visit him later. Maybe.

After a few moments, once Schmoe had moved on to focus instead on another student, Nem looked away too. They'd been prepared to just listen, even if seeing where the others' eyes were drawn could be just as telling, but Phoebe James' response momentarily drew their full attention. Momentarily, because Nem's eyes soon snapped back to Rider-Mae, and fixed on him. For the first time in a while, they revisited the memory of the day they'd first learnt the art of the meaningless apology. Rider-Mae had been the one to divulge that information - 'You don't even have to feel it' - and Nem had never forgotten it, though they knew they'd have reached the same conclusion on their own, eventually. They doubted it held any significance for him, that he even remembered it at all.

Lapsing into disinterest, Nem stared at the still unlit fire pit. It may have been difficult to say for sure, exactly how much attention they were paying to the lecture. Not for the people who really knew them, but... well... that was a can of worms for later. Nem didn't look up again until it was time to prepare for the activity. Practicing empathy. Why not.

They started writing their assumption down even before the instructions were fully signed, sealed, and delivered. The Noodle Man wanted anonymity, but that was too bad; Nem had plenty they could write, but only a handful of things they ultimately would have needed to choose between, and it had taken less than a second to make a decision. This ought to be good.

Once they were done, they went up to place their assumption face down on the table, and returned to their original place, expression unchanged.

SPOILER!!: assumption
